It's a nice size and has some decent features - but I wouldn't buy one again.
The camera is extremely convenient to carry it in a pocket or a purse, but the quality of the photos don't seem to be as good as those taken by many smart phones now.
The camera also has a nice video feature that captures video in HD format
The camera has a nice zoom feature which enables us to get clear and tight pictures while water skiing and wakeboarding
in my opinion, this one feature makes the camera worth purchasing.
Quality control has really gone down, every other order either damaged or a dud:-( Afraid to order another, what are the odds of getting a working, quality tested product
great buy, dropped it few times, using daily for work, 3 month already , good product
Very great product does exactly what I need and takes good pictures for its quality.
Excellent product that you sell, very good delivery, REALLY THANKS .

-Terrible battery life-Irritating autoflash, when selected it will flash at all times - even in strong lighting and therefore reducing the battery life further- slow shutter speed, seems to be a disconnect between pressing the button and the device understanding you want a photo to be taken-long delay between ability to take shots
Shutter speed is slow--so slow that by the time it closes--you have the perfect photo you did not want
Also, pictures I took with my GF's *cheaper* Canon P&S looked fine
Go into the menus and learn to use the program mode which lets you set a 400 ISO level for faster shutter speeds, adjust exposure for brighter or darker photos, and adjust the contrast or color balance of your photos.
The shutter speed was awful, so I was consistently frustrated taking pictures of family and friends--which is why I bought the camera!

As mentioned by other reviewers, the picture quality is acceptable for close ups but the zoom is basically useless; and the painfully slow shutter speed means that you end up with a load of photos you don't want because they've all been taken about 10 seconds too late
