I wanted a small camera with a large screen. This camera is small enough to fit into your pocket and light-weight to carry around in handbag. With the 3in screen there is no messing about with a small veiwfinder or little screen, this helps when you need to wear glasses. You can take pictures discreetly, as there is a good zoom. Pictures are easy to download to a P.C either by putting in the sd card or by plugging in the camera. I like this camera it is smaller then my last compact camera.
Fits my large BBQ well, drawstring tie-up which holds the cover neatly in place and there is no noise from the cover when the weather is windy or raining. Good value.
