Customer Reviews

perfect(so far)
Have had this for 6months now and am finding it apsolutely brilliant
Great value for money, pictures are well focused , clear on computer and when printed
Camera is simple to use, nice sheek design (nice to hold)
The screen is also large and clear and you can zoom in well
Comes with sepia/colour/black&white option that comes out looking very profesional
The few disagvantages i can think of:
-had to spend a long time regeresting it
-didnt come with any type of photo shop( i have seen many cameras with this on offer for free)
-i cant find a way to clear ALL photos off memery card at once , but this isnt too important

Overall-
Great camera, fits all my needs

Cheap camera with average results
Bought this camera almost an year ago. Results were never consistently satisfactory. Flash seems to be slow in response and less powerful, giving dull pictures. Had a fault with the auto-focus recently and luckily getting rid of it as it is still under warranty.
