Basically, you get what you pay for, its small, attractive and compact. It generally takes clear photos under a range of different settings. The menu and buttons are easy to use and the screen is a good size, although is prone to greasy finger prints. Under twilight/night conditions the camera has performed well which was important to me, although some 'shaky' photos have cropped up and the contrast in colours (sea/sky etc) has been good. I have not had any problems with battery life. Perhaps the main thing which I have been disappointed with is the optical zoom. It is only x 4.0 but I think I was perhaps anticipating something slightly better than what I have got. When fully zoomed in, most have the photos which I have taken have come out rather blurry.
Overall however, I am very pleased with the camera. I think it was money well spent.
