Excellent – Photo quality is amazing for a camera this size. More often than not, the ease of use and overall quality of shots beats my heavy chunky SLR.

Its size makes it incredibly useful for travel and has proved to be very good for fashion/nature shoots on the move. If you can do without the optical zoom, and dont mind paying a little extra for canon, then you won't regret it > Near SLR quality photos in a compact size.

> Incredibly easy to use with quick selectable settings

> the adjustable preview screen is really neat, perfect for those 'me' shots and shooting usually difficult angles

> great build quality

> amazing picture modes including colour segmentation and fish lens options

> Out of all my cameras, this has proven to be the most popular in terms of weight vs quality vs size > Price is premium

> a little on the heavy side

> optical zoom and Mega pixel capability is not as high as other cameras in this price range
