Pros: Stylish , 10 x zoom, 25mm wide Angle lens, 14.1 mp
Cons: not mega fast with flash

I bought this camera second hand. It is easy to use , has Easy mode , P, M , movie and Sweep panorama.

i like that it feels and looks metal , the 200gr makes it a good weight even over longer times. This camera uses a LI-ION accu (battery) for about 300 shots on a full charge , it takes MS pro duo . SD , SDHC , SD HX

with the flash on it is a bit slow , but that will have to do with recycle times wich is acceptable for non pro's .

the lens is a Sony G lens 25mm wide angle lens and has a range of 4.25-42.5 and a aperture of 3.5-5.2

it has a 3cm tft monitor of 230.000 pixel resolution , like most camera;s the screen gives a indication of the qualty , for the image quality you still need to see it bigger although the screen zoom range is more than fair

in P mode s lot can be edited what is not or barely possible with auto mode
in M mode there are even more options.

The camera is easy to use and gives good control over advanced settings and scenes.
