This is my current digital camera. I picked it up from
maplins for 180 poundsabout two years ago. At the time it was a bargain
for a camera with a massive 10x optical.
My first camera was a casio 1mega pixel which was a solid performer but
needed an upgrade. I bought a cheap camera from a pc fair but the
quality of pictures was not upto the casio standard even though it was
a 3 mega pixel camera. Having learned my lesson, that you only get what
you pay for, i splashed out on this camera.
I take alot of sports pictures so the zoom was a must have and i have
to say it is impressive. The camera also has a huge 2.5" tft display.
Its the biggest i have seen on any camera and is a nice feature, but
beware this is a power drain.
I am no more than an enthusiatic amature, so i cant give an opinion on
the technicalities of the camera, but they are listed below if u know
what they mean. As an automatic point and shoot camera it does
everything i would want.
Here are some example pics i have taken. To see more check out the
gallery on the ring menu.
