Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $400.00 from Fotocats

Summary:

A very well put together compact digital camera! I was going to buy the S4i but the S40 is a lot cheaper with exactly the same features. It also takes normal AA size batteries which make it ideal for people on the move. Quality is high and I easily get sharp A3 size prints. Not the quickest of cats but a good everyday compact!

Strengths:

VERY GOOD build quality, better than S4i. AA batteries. Compact. Sexy design. Lots of features. Big zoom.

Weaknesses:

Not very quick in low light conditions. Flash takes time to charge, longer than most.

Similar Products Used:

Fuji finepix and HP cameras.

Customer Service:

Not tested!
