Short Review:
At 24mm thick, this camera will fit into your pants or jacket pocket for nights out in the town taking party pics. This thin camera is also weather proof, so you can continue taking pictures regardless of rain or snow. Round the back a 2.5 inch Hypercrystal LCD makes viewing and reviewing your pictures possible even in bright outdoor conditions by using the sunlight to boost the monitors own brightness, and with a viewing angle of 176 degrees, showing pictures to a whole group of friends around you is not a problem. With 7.1 megapixels you can get about an 8×10 inch print at full resolution with greater enlargement possible to achieve high quality poster size prints. The 5 times optical zoom is a 35mm film equivalent to 36-180mm, which will give you a perspective from standard wide angle to telephoto for small group pictures and good portraits, as well as more creative flexibility. It also has a 5.6 times digital zoom. The TruePic III processor has an improved noise filter for clean and clear pictures and faster processing. This camera is also capable of a high 1600 ISO for better lowlight photography.
