Good: Lightweight, pocket sized, crisp pictures.
Bad: Slippery, & worst of all the lens gasket has let all sorts of dust etc in which appears as huge blobs in zoom photos.

Good: Styling, size
Bad: Noisy images, average picture quality
Comment: I was so dissapointed with this camera that I took it back for a refund. Images were grainy even on lowest ISO setting. General image clarity and quality was far behind my previous PC world own brand Advent MP8.
It was a real shame, as I loved the looks, feel and size of the camera, but the image quality was a real let down. Other things I did not like was the fact the movies were in quicktime and not windows media viewer compatible, and that the battery has to be removed from the camera for it to be charged. There were also occasions that the camera failed to focus correctly - mostly on indoor shots.
