Size - compact and good for travel
Good sized LCD viewer
Reasonable price
Working perfectly after 8 years or so

Older model - may not be in production anymore
Limited memory on camera itself - but has card slot for exanded memory

This is an older model now, but still working very well. It's compact size is a bonus for travelling and it does a good clear picture. There is also room for a short video as well.

The 2 x zoom function is also great for those little details you want to get close to, and the flash works well.

There is a good sized viewer at the back (1.5" = 3.81cm) LCDso you aren't guessing where the shot boundaries are or squinting to see the image you are taking.

I like the option of screwing in a little tripod to take pictures with you in it on the timed function or to steady the shot.

Memory - is limited on the camera itself - up to 20 shots - but also has slot for memory card which you can transfer the shots onto as you go.

Once you have learned how to navigate the different functions this camera is fairly friendly. It is hard to accidentally delete shots, which is good. I have done that before and since I use this camera for travel there isn't the opportunity to go back and take it again.

I can't comment on the price as it was a gift, but I understand it was quite reasonable. The main advantage is its size. I can put it in my pocket and it fits in the palm of my hand or easily in my shoulder bag.

Mainly I use this camera for travel and for pictures to post on my blog: www.paulinenolan.blogspot.com - you can see there the quality is fine.
