What's Hot

Massive battery life, nice features

What's Not

The pictures are simply horrible, big

The Final Word

A camera that offers quite a bit, and would have scored well, but it is let down by pictures that are absolutely horrible. The purple fringing is like nothing we have ever seen before, and makes it impossible to recommend no matter how well implemented some other features are.
