Out of the above the more likely I was suprised to see the quality of the picture and its big screen, also for charging and connecting the USB a seperate stand has been given and when everything done we can remove the camera from the stand and carry with us.
The one and only disadvantage I have seen in this model is the single point of failure, if the stand fails to work, we cannot recharge the battery, so we have preserve it very safely.coming to the price of the camera I have asked my friend to brought from US as it is somewhat costly here.
Overall I receommend this product to all who wants a compact camera, but dont compare this with a cam coder or any other handy cam, If u want to buy a digicam, strictly digicam
Go for it...
