6 years old and still going.

After 6 years this camera can still compete with modern compacts outside in good light.

The lens is very sharp in the centre, poor at the edges especially in one corner.

At low iso, 80 and 100 images are very good, full of detail and little noise.  At high iso, 800 & 1600 its noise wonderful noise. Many people complain about compacts have aggressive noise reduction leading to smearing and loss of detail.  This camera seems to have no noise reduction!

Very good for indoor flash photography.  Camera has powerful flash and makes sensible decisions about keeping low iso and high quality.

User interface good for quick easy access to all options.

No image stabiliser but shape, size and weight make it easy to hold steady at slowish shutter speed.
