Advantages: user friendly
Disadvantages: little complicated

This camera is good for the novice. You need to keep the instruction book open and ready to refer to though. I have found it to have very clear and concise instructions that are easy to follow. There were no 'red eyes' to touch up in the photos. I was able to start taking pictures within a few minutes of opening package. I have had the camera a few months and still can not figure out how to prevent the 'wash out' from the auto flash though. You ... Read review

Advantages: 12.1 megapixels, hot shoe, auto ISO setting for novices, 6 x optical zoom, shoot in RAW
Disadvantages: Slow shutter speed, battery length quite short

This is a great overall compact camera with a high standard of 12.1 megapixels. The camera enables you to shoot in RAW for easy editing. It is quite an easy to use camera but at first it takes a novice a while to get to grips with it. Manual and custom shooting settings are present which enable you to do some pretty serious portraits. A hot shoe is on the top of the camera so you can mount an external flash - great for low-light photography! There ...
...be produced. I have found this particularly useful when using a tripod. The camera has a 6 x optical zoom which is more than enough in my opinion for a compact camera.
