Jan. 28, 2011My Review
I wanted a small compact camera that I could take anywhere and which took very good sharp pictures and was not expensive to buy. If it happened to be stolen, it would not be as bad as having an expensive DSLR stolen costing over € 500. This camera cost €100 and has a small range zoom of 3X optical and it is 10 million pixels.
It does what it says on the packet, it is very small, about 10 cm or 4 inches by 5 cm or 2 inches by 1 cm or 1/2 inch wide. It has a lot of settings: Auto, Micro, Landscape, Portrait, Video, Red eye, Night, Flash, Sea, etc.
It is a good camera for what it does, very handy for taking on holidays. If you want to do a lot more with your camera, then get a DSLR.
Camera "pros"
Nice and small, takes very good sharp still pictures
It also takes videos, and has loads of settings. It is a no nonsense point and shoot camera that wont let you down.
Camera "cons"
It is awkward holding down the shutter button all the time while making films, I did not see any locking mechanism for shooting videos.
I would like a longer telephoto zoom, but it is average for the price, and I can't grumble.
