I purchased this because it takes RAW images and the lens can be changed to a super wide or fish eye and a zoom. Thus giving a great range and flexibility at a very low cost. The camera has loads of modes, including multiple shot, that professionals and good amateurs understand and desire. However there is an idiot proof auto mode for novice or the overwhelmed. For some reason people think the cameras are faulty if they stop working. However good batteries fix the problem as poor quality batteries make them stop working when the battery power drops. The only problem is the 9mp limit on the image, but with RAW, no one would know and even a 9mp image in other formats are OK for most uses. The zoom 4x optical is limited, but with the extra optical zoom lens, greatly extended and you also have the digital zoom on top. It has a 5th Generation Super CCD HR Sensor with 9 million effective pixels. Senitivity Range of ISO 80-800 for varying lighting conditions 'Real Photo Technology' for exceptional picture quality with minimal noise The 2 inch LCD screen to frame and view images is bit small and retro but adequate and functional. The senitivity range of ISO 80-800 is adequate for most needs as is the exposure range from 1/2000 to 15 seconds. The maximum aperture of f2.8 to f22 is also OK. It has a wide range of manual shooting options and functions. It also has high-speed start-up time of 1.3 seconds and near-instantaneous shutter response, which is great for the built-in bracketing and 2 shot per second mode (1.7 to be precise). You can take some fascinating photos at 2 frames a second that you would miss without this functionality. The camera is small and compact for its functionality and now it has been superseded by others means it is low cost.Read full review
I was looking for this particular camera to replace the one I already had, that had died due to daily use. This is a lovely little camera that has the facilities to take the pictures you want and also video. It has several different settings, sports, night etc. At 9 mega pixels its not the top of the range but perfectly adequate for general and holiday photos. This may not be the smallest of cameras and doesn't have a a touch screen but it's not quite old school. I already had the lens extensions for a telescopic lens for it. I was lucky to get this camera as new so you know it has not been left in the sand on a beach somewhere. The transaction was uneventful, I paid by PayPal and the delivery time was quick. A very good ebay transaction. Very pleased. :-)
I read a very positive review about this camera on a Photography website (Dec 2020) and bought one. I take it everywhere with me as my main cameras are much larger. The camera has a great Fuji film simulation option 'CHROME' which I keep on at all times. There are many manual options and auto mode for basic point and shoot. ***Important*** You will need NI-MH (!), AA batteries (rechargeable). Alkaline batteries will NOT work after a few shots. 9 megapixels might sound like not very much but it's fine for A4 prints. Recommend buying one with an XD card included as to buy it separately hikes the overall price.

Press the ON(/OFF) button and the camera is instantly ready to use. Reasonable quality pictures. A good range of features with control. That's why when I lost my original camera I wanted to replace it with the identical model.
