ProNice size and weight, nice selection of programs. Great beginner camera for someone who wants the ease of point and shoot and the option to go manual.
ContraIf you hope to have this camera for a long time, forget about it.
The motor goes out way too fast. Once it does, you have to replace the camera because repair is as much or more than the orig. price. I got about 5-1/2 years out of it, much less than I expected for a well cared for and well used camera.
ThoughtsI like this camera. It is my first Auto/Manual camera and outside of the motor failing, it was a good experience to shoot with this camera.
