Good Points

Easy to use, didn't have to read the manual, good picture quality, got to watch it in dark places though.


Bad Points

Weak flash when trying to zoom as with all built in flashes, no bundled soft case, no NiMH batteries given, pathetic 8MB CF card given.


General Comments

I love the fact that it is not a camera where you buy and get stuck with no add-ons or accessories to enhance the photographic experience. You can add wide or telephoto lenses, use an underwater case to take pictures while swimming. Pictures are sharp, colours true to detail and contrast is balanced. However, when taking shots indoor under tungsten light, you gotta fiddle with the white balance to prevent shots getting a yellow overcast.
