Pros: Inexpensive yet capable
Cons: A little slow taking the picture. Battery doesn't last very long.
Review:
I bought this camera for my wife since I had the Nikon D-70 and it was a bit bulky for her. I didn't want to spend too much money for a small digital camera that wouldn't be our primary camera. When I saw this camera, I decided to take a chance, since the price was right for the features it had. It does take good pictures, and it's easy to use. However, since we're used to the speed of a digital SLR, it's kind of slow from the time you press the button and when it's ready for the next shot. However, there is a burst mode on the camera which we haven't investigated as yet. I like that the fact that the movie mode allows you to record a movie up to the size of the sd memory card. We previously owned a Canon Powershot A50 a few years ago, that only allowed 30 seconds. The build quality of the unit is solid, and the brushed steel look is a nice touch. My wife likes it and the pictures are great.
