Rating : - Good camera, but I think there are better
I used this camera on a trip to the Galapagos Islands and mainland Ecuador. It is capable of getting some truly great shots and many of my photos look professional quality. I will spend more time on the downsides of the camera than the up, because it seems like the reviews are innundated with positive reviews already. And the camera certainly does have its drawbacks. Granted, I was a fairly heavy user, spending weeks in the rainforest and on fine, sandy beaches, hiking and doing other activities.

First off, the LCD screen cracked, which isn't a huge deal, but some other reviewers may say it is very hard to do... it's not that hard. Next, other parts did come loose, although they didn't fall off, and made the camera a little harder to use. Although it is marketed as weather-proof, a better term is slightly weather resistant. It couldn't seem to get a decent photo off in the rain, even when we stumbled on a tapir, quite a rare sight.

The zoom is practically worthless, but better than nothing, I suppose. On all of my pictures, I have to adjust the color saturation because the camera's normal pictures are somewhat dull-colored compared to real life; not a big deal, really, just an extra hassel. The "mode" settings suck, rare does one actually give you what you want. Night pictures are impossible, it is very hard to set the camera to a slow enough shutter speed to turn out with a good picture. The camera has an incredibly hard time in bad lighting (into sun, cloudy skies, etc), though so do all cameras, however, this one seems a little bit worse than most.

After saying so many bad things, I feel a little guilty, the camera really is pretty good overall. It is slim and easy to carry around. The quality is great, as long as the lighting is good. The macro is amazing.

Bottom line: I just want you all to realize the drawbacks it has before buying. It is a good camera, and pretty cheap nowadays so if you are on a budget, this may be a good pick.
