Pros Compact and stylish, large LCD, image stabilization, 4x zoom, resolution
Cons Price, images could be sharper, noisy ISO 400-800, slow flash recycle, red-eye

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better.
