My rating is bases on - how much worth it is for the money I paid.
This is the first and only digital cam I ve used. I find it quite useful for capturing family functions. It has a 3xoptical & 4xdigital zoom. The picture quality is really good - 6.0 mega pixels - for photos shot in well illuminated environment.
This model certainly has a upper hand, even comparing to latest models, when it comes to battery life. Its got a real good battery life.
The software is not very user friendly. It comes with two adaptors - one compatible with indian plugs & the other compatible with western plugs. This model is very handy. Not to be used in wet environment. Comes with a USB interface so I never had to pull the card out. No need to pull the battery out for charging the entire unit can be put for charging.
This is the most suitable model for general use but not good for any image editing or stuff.. by the by who gets time to do all these unless u r a tech geek...
