Good for this type of camera
|
The only meaningful comparison is between LCD-only, pocket cameras with non-extending lenses. I've owned a lot of digital (& film) cameras, including a digital SLR.
PROS: rugged, well-made, waterproof (I've actually taken it underwater; of course underwater shots are not sharp unless you get an expensive rig), good color, works well in auto mode, shutter lag is not too bad, LCD is big and bright, good battery life. Pretty good pics in common situations.
CONS, as with ANY pocket camera: the LCD is hard to see outdoors when you are in bright sunlight (unfortunately, most small cameras, except a few Canons, lack a viewfinder these days), the lens is tiny and doesn't extend, so sharpness and low-light performance is limited (but you don't have to wait for the lens to extend -- the camera, turns on or comes out of sleep pretty fast), limited zoom, you'll probably want to buy a higher-capacity xD memory card & they're are more expensive than other types.
ADVICE: It's a good choice for a go-anywhere pocket camera. If you want a better camera, get a bigger Canon with an extending lens (or an SLR, which has less shutter lag) and carry it in a bag (but avoid water). |
