Pros
Fairly easy to use, LONG telephoto
Cons
LONG telephoto can cause a bit of blurriness
Recommended it?
Yes
The camera is reasonably priced. Image quality is good, the battery is durable (long life) and the zoom is good. It does lack image stabilization.
Its best feature is the 10X lens. This also is its detriment as the camera has no image stabilization which can result with blurry pictures in...

We got this camera 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I have even dropped it by accident a couple of times in fear but it didnt damage anything at all and it still works great. It has 7.1 megapixels which is decent. We paid $400 for this camera and I feel the money was well spent. The 8X...
