Good Camera.. worth a buy
by v82, May. 9, 2008 - Pros: Takes good pictures, has good controls and overall is a good camera in its class
- Cons: None that I have encountered as yet
- Comments:
The camera is very good for normal all round photography to capture the special moments when on vacation, etc due to its compact size. The weight is a little more when with batteries. But overall is a very good camera for its class and price. Can make good videos as well if you have sufficient memory that is :). The LCD is good though is not movable. ...
