Good Points: Good quality pics for type of camera, light easy to carry.

Bad Points: Eats battery's approx 9 shots per 2 cells "copper tops" impossible to repair cost me £90 for dry joint.

General comments: really good starter camera, however there are cheaper and better on the market for what you get. Make sure you get a good repair plan with your camera for up to 3 years!
