The good: Ultraportable; fast performance; easy-to-use menu system; PictBridge compatible; includes rechargeable AAA batteries and charger.

The bad: No optical viewfinder; small, stiff controls; no optical zoom; no exposure compensation; so-so image quality.

The bottom line: Snapshot photographers who value portability and style over advanced features and photo quality will like this sleek little camera.
