- Great for Fishing Pics
I bought this camera when they were clearing it out for the new models. I have had it for a year now and have nothing but good things to say. First of all, I have been hard on this camera and it has resisted all of my attempts to damage it. The pictures I take of my fish and scenery come out very nice, I have people complement my pictures. I'm definitely not a photographer so the camera is responsible for the pictures, not me

I purcahsed this as a Christmas present for my step daughter, she is very heavy handed and dare I say it clumsy, it has taken several drops to the ground and has a few war wounds and scars on it now, but it still works perfectly.
It has enough gadgets on it to keep a teenager occupied for ages, the picture quality is amazing compared to a lot of compact camera's around this price range... altogether a great buy... and highly recommended for those people whom are less than delicate with ... Read More
