Small and light but typical small sensor imge quality

This camera is very small yet has a nice zoom reach. Lens optics are okay, nothing to write home about and the images can be rather noisy when the camera is used indoors under available light.

Videos are quite nice but will sometime pulsate bright and dim due to the flicker of some artificial lighting and the cameras 25fps frame rate. After shooting a video there is an annoying delay of several seconds as the camera processes the video.

The slim battery in these small cameras don't hold much charge. If you shoot a lot of video, get a spare battery or find a camera with longer battery life.
