Summary
We bought this camera for our daughter after her Sony 6MP digital stopped working. The need for an all weather camera was made to be quite apparent in her request for a new digital camera. My daughter did very thorough research and decided on this particular camera as a suitable replacement for her Sony. The key physical features she was looking for was small easy to use, compact, lightweight and portable (fits into pants pocket or jacket). The technology aspects she wanted covered, waterproof, quick recharge time, low light capable, easy use with a flash when required and long life battery. This camera is really well made and lives up to its specifiations My daughter says that it is a fantastic camera. I was also impressed by the the Fujinon 3 X Optical zoom lens having a really useful Lens Focal Length (6.3mm - 18.9mm, equivalent to 35.5 - 105 mm on a 35mm camera) for general and travel photography. The large 2.7 inch LCD screen is very visible even in bright light conditions. The waterproofing is very good and we have not had any leaks so far. We were surprised by the underwater imaging which is actually very good for such a small camera. The face recognition and red eye removal tech talk may not impressed my daughter, but it sure did impress me. This camera is really suited for traveling in wet conditions or dry.
