CNET Asia Review

Average

5.8

out of 10

The good: Simple operation, face-recognition autofocus, postcapture correction of red-eye and exposure, versatile burst mode, time-lapse capabilities.

The bad: Few manual controls, slow autofocus in dim light, average image quality, limited shutter speed range.

The bottom line: Aimed squarely at snapshooters looking for a carefree pocketful, this ultracompact does all the hard work and delivers decent picture quality.

not good

May 3, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: lightness of weight, 16 multishot function, many different modes available
Cons: no anti-shake
Opinion:
overall it's a nice camera. however, the lack of anti-shake function really makes it irritating as flash is needed for every single clear shot.

the availability of different modes makes up to it somehow, even though photos can be much sharper with anti-shake.

the multishot function is another big turn on.

Fantastic

My friend got this for me since she lost my old camera. Was very pleased with the size but more impressed with the image quality. I like it very much. Even my friends who saw it liked it as well and they are intending to get one, too!

Excellent

Opinion:
I got this for a family member who asked for a simple yet, high-quality camera. I have to say I am impressed by the combination of the size and quality of the camera. Although the ergonomics are not as good as other larger cameras, it does feel solid and well built. My only gripe with this camera is the simplicity of the interface; there aren't very many options to choose from and the menu is a little hard to navigate.
