Great little camera

Bought for elderly but energetic technophobe mother and she is getting some great results. Rubberised hi grip finish is one of the reasons I chose it as it is less easy to drop and is a great feature. Would have preferred a built in rather than...

Great Camera

The picture quality is excellent on this but be warned you will need to buy a memory card as the camera only holds 4 pictures but otherwise very good camera.
