This five-megapixel, 3x optical zoom camera fits perfectly in your hand, and is nice and light. It has tiny, interesting-looking lights on the top, which display capture modes such as Auto and Movie. The 2.5-inch LCD screen crisply displays the images in focus, along with the various options such as white balance. Strangely, the menu button is on the top, and the ON/OFF button and the hard-to-handle menu navigation joystick are placed beside the LCD screen. Selecting and navigating through the menu is difficult. The lack of an optical viewfinder means that you are forced to drain your batteries by using the LCD all the time. The Auto setting works fine, but others, such as Night Mode, end up producing images with blue tinges. Even in broad daylight, images appear dark, and the flash goes off. Detail and textures in the captured images are superb, though. Indoor shots come out better, especially close-ups in Macro Mode; but
outdoors, with an overcast sky, the images are very dark. In order to connect this camera to a PC you need to carry around the USB connector- cum-power docking station everywhere, as it doesn’t connect directly. Also, there’s only 16 MB of internal memory. Overall, a great looking
camera, but with a lot of drawbacks.
