Small size, low cost

The camera leaves a lot to be desired. Its maximum stills resolution of 3Mp isn’t necessarily cause for an immediate sigh of disappointment, but I found its performance ragged.

In amenable conditions it turns out a fair shot. The playground photo is bright, for example. But it has real trouble with lots of outdoor light – the scene with the large trees and white building was shot in bright sunshine and the building is just a dreadful splodge of bright white.

It isn’t good at close-up shots – see the flowers. And indoors, with no flash to help the camera out, it needs plenty of ambient light. A final nail in its coffin: the shutter lag is seriously long.
