 Does What it Says on The Tin September 10, 2008

I purchased this camera about a year ago and kind of delayed writing a review until it had been put through its paces. br / br /Firstly the photos. Very good quality, the super macro tool with the little spot lamp is an absolute godsend for close up shots I do for work. br / br /General photography is well on par with my previous Canon Ixus. They are sharp, clear and for a compact, have decent colour saturation. Used indoor, outdoor, underwater, on the beach, in the sea the camera has never let me down. The battery charge seems to last an age. br / br /Last Easter I took the camera on a walking holiday in the Peak District. The weather was awful lots and lots of snow. One particular walk my niece asked if she could be in charge of the camera which I agreed to, after all she couldn't break it could she??? br / br /Twenty minutes into the walk we discovered my niece had lost the camera so we all set about retracing our steps to try to find it. After an hour searching I finally came across a little bit of the carry strap sticking out of the snow, when I pulled it out I discovered the camera had been sat in a tractor wheel rut, underwater, under the snow, covered in mud. I simply washed it in a nearby stream and it was ready to take pictures, much to the relief of my sweet niece. br / br /Its been batted and bruised, its covered in scratches but it has never let me down. br / br /If you want a hard wearing compact camera that takes decent photos then you can't go far wrong with this one. br / br /10 out of 10 from me.

Positives: br /I love the fact that you can take this camera anywhere. Snowboarding, Beaching etc. I can happily give this camera to my 5 year old to take pics without being intensly worried he will break it. Its a great little family camera. br / br /Negatives: br /At least half my pics are blury, the clarity I'm used to on a sony cybershot, just does not happen, though the close up setting is great. Inside images are better than the old sony's, but not as good as the cannon. br / br /The most annoying thing about this camara, that can make me CRAZY, is the 3+ second delay between pics. I like to shoot loads of pics, my child moves alot, and the moment is over by the time this camera is ready to shoot. br / br /If you just want an easy to use family camera, that you don't want to worry about, its great, but if you are looking for brilliant quality and fast shooting look elsewhere.
Greatest little camera in the world!! March 21, 2008

My camera had packed up while I was on a trip in California and I dropped into a local camera store to replace it. I looked at a couple of other top makes and then the assistant recommended this one! He offered to let me try it for a couple of days and bring it back if I wasn't happy. br /I never needed to go back! This is the greatest little camera I have ever owned. It's waterproof and dust/sand proof. I have taken pictures underwater and on the beach, up mountains and on board sailing dingies. You can rinse it out under the water tap when you've had it in salt water!. It has a good movie mode and also takes bursts of frames. Quick start up time. A little shutter lag like most compacts but better than most in that area. I have had it for six months, carry it everywhere. It has no moving parts to jam and it takes great pictures. Too many features to mention but you'll not regret buying this one!
