Camera Reviews:
Photographyblog.com:
As a digital compact camera, it is average - it has some nice functions, such as the Touch Shutter feature that lets you focus on your subject and take a picture very quickly; but enthusiast photographers will feel limited by the lack of user control over the picture taking process.
Cameras.co.uk:
The camera is likely to appeal to the gadget conscious with its touch screen control. In the main picture quality is good enough for snapshot quality, but when shooting subjects from distance the pictures may lack sharpness.
