This camera has a lot of good features that make it one of the most versatile cameras around.
One big advantage is that it allows you to save pictures you take directly onto a floppy disc.
Floppy discs are available almost everywhere now, and are fairly cheap, and as most PC’s now have a floppy drive, you can store your pictures right onto your hard disc without the fuss of having to hook up any connections.
It also has a good zoom feature, that lets you increase up to 16 times the actual size, and is good for taking close up shots, especially of nature and scenery. There is an on screen indicator that tells you what zoom factor you are taking pictures at.
If you want to send pictures to your friends by email, you can send them a cut down smaller version of the picture, which they can then enlarge on their own computer.
This saves on space when sending an email, and means you can send more pictures at the one go.
You can use it as a movie camera as well. It allows you to make small fifteen to sixty second movies with sound, that you can use for things like sending birthday greetings, or pictures of your children to friends and relatives.
The picture quality is very good as well. Unless you happen to be a professional photographer, they are good enough for almost any purpose.
One small drawback is its size. It’s quite big and bulky, and doesn’t fit into a coat or jacket pocket very easily. Another fault is the LCD panel, which can be hard to see in sunny weather.
But overall this is a good camera, and is not too expensive at around £400.
