"I can't believe it's not butter of cameras!"
Pros: SUPER affordable price, plethora of features, excellent picture quality, CUSTOMIZATION, AA batteries
Cons: little bulky, little heavy, AA batteries, plasticky build
Summary: I have never been so wowed by a camera of this price for the features and quality it has. It's the same great taste with out the fattening price!
seriously though, this camera kicks major arsses.
I like that it takes AA batteries because I will be traveling abroad much, and don't want to deal with blowing out chargers, and at the same time I hate having to buy and change out AA batteries.
I am concerned that it's not that tough, it feels plasticky, and the shape makes it hard to carry around with ease. However, it is neat to have that little bulge for a little extra grip.
It's certainly a pretty camera loaded with features you usually find in more expensive cameras, and I have not had any picture quality issues at all. Definitely worth having for occasions, vacations, or if you're interested in photography!Updated
I've been using this throughout my trip in China and have been amazed at the quality of pictures I can get even from the auto settings. If you're more of a die hard photographer, check out the manual mode. I've gotten some seriously impressive images out of this little guy. The price is not just right, it's cheap for a great camera! Just make sure you use rechargable AA or lithium AA batteries.
