Ultra-zoom cameras are increasing in popularity and with all that magnifying power in a compact it is easy to see why. The colour reproduction is excellent and the images are sharp. The absense of an image stabiliser is noticable, however this is a very capable camera and is pretty good value for money.

I have had this camera for twelve months and although I think its a great camera I am annoyed by the autofocus, as it is difficult to get it to focus on the right thing, especially if its something small and in the distance.
