APR

2009

I really like this camera...and I've had it for over 2 years now. It is lightweight, functional, easy to download pictures from, stylish, small and takes good photos. My only issue is that the zoom is not very good.

I have had absolutely no issues with it not working or being too fragile (one of the features of it is that it is shock-proof). I have not tried it under water (another one of the features), I'm too afraid that when I do it will stop working for some reason. I have faith in the brand...but I'm not so trusting of electronics under water.
