Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Reviewed by Dean Woodfield.
Price: 4 out of 5
Ease of use: 4 out of 5
Build Quality: 5 out of 5
Usefulness: 4 out of 5
Overall: 4 out of 5
Total: 21
Pros:
Small enough to easily fit into pockets.
Decent enough battery life to easily last a day time of happy snaps.
Reasonable shutter response times make sure the moment is not lost.
Cons:
Will take the user a while to get used to navigating through the menu settings and quickly locating scene settings but over time it shouldn’t be a problem finding your way around the menus.
Other thoughts:
My favourite feature was “Colour Accent Mode”. It allowed me to nominate a colour to retain whilst converting the rest of the colours to black & white. The screen performed reasonable in sunny conditions, still allowing me to use the menus easily.
Conclusion:
As a simple point & shoot, I definitely recommend it!
