Advantages: Inexpensive, small, nice software
Disadvantages: Poor user manual

The Camera has a nice look. It's small and light. But the best thing about it is the price. The user manual doesn't explain al the features it has. Although it has an automatic flash (with red eye reduction option) the default value is off and couldn't find a way to set it to automatic byb default, so every time you turn it on you must manually change this setting (or your pictures will have no flash). It comes with a very nice set of programs. ... Read review

Advantages: value, zoom, features
Disadvantages: probably not to good for advanced photography

...and he reccomended me this panasonic lumix camera. I have been more than happy with his reccomendation ever since, having found the camera very easy to use, but also capable of taking very high quality photographs.

Advantages: Easy to use, Simple design, Clear shots with bonus anti shake.
Disadvantages: none that i can think of!

Best Compact Camera! This is one of the best cameras i've ever owned! I wanted a compact digital camera that was easy to use and understand, not too small for my shaky hands and one for best quality for value. After trying many different types in various shops, this one i instantly liked. It feels sturdy and less breakable than other types. The instruction manual made it easy for me (who isn't camera minded at all!) to understand and it is ...
...memory card, so when in emergencies i'd run out of space, i could borrow my partners card! I have lots of fun with this camera and it takes outstanding pictures without lots of hassle with different buttons.

Advantages: Excellent build quality, superb CMOS sensor, low noise at high ISO.
Disadvantages: Poor kit lenses

...shortcomings of investing in this Canon system. Given the superb performance of the CMOS image sensor, particularly at high sensitivity settings, the lenses offered by Canon as 'kit' lenses are somewhat of a let-down and disappointment for the following reasons: The camera body does not have image stabilisation. If you wish to have this facility each lens you buy has to have it built in. This makes the lenses inherently more expensive than similar ...
...of polarising filters difficult. Canon do not supply lens hoods with their lenses and, unless you opt for cheap alternatives, are quite expensive to add on. To get the best from the resolving capabilities of this excellent camera one really needs to go for the more up-market Canon lenses and they don't come cheap. So beware, you may end up spending quite a lot of money getting this camera kitted out to your satisfaction. ... Read review
