Review Summary: Def the best camera to meet my criteria
Overall Score: 4/5 Overall score - 4Overall score - 4
Review: I was needing a camera mainly for leasure puposes. Didn't need a camera to take the best pics possible, just a reasonable one which is small enough to take with me when out with mates etc. I have found this camera to do everything i need very well. I spent ages doing research and then this cheaky number came along, and im not regretting the choice at all

The camera seriously is tiny! it easily fits in all my pockets and i can hardly tell when its in them! it is smaller than my phone. The build quality is really good, its all metal, and feels very solid. it is a good weight, not too light but heavy enough to feel sturdy. it does also look very cool! i have the silver one, but all the colours it comes in are cool.

The battery life is very good, lasted a weekend of impulse snapping and reviewing and taking videos.

Here are some details about the things that matter..

Photos can be extremely good in the right conditions. Out side they are really very good, colours are bright and light metering works a treat. lots of manual options too if you know best.inside in darkish conditions i have sometimes been disapointed but i think this is the case with most didgi cameras. sometimes it struggles to focus and pics can be underexposed or blurred. On the whole though they are normally very good, and no doubt as good as all the cameras this price. Also fairly often get light spots a bit like lens flair in indide photos. Was worried about the lack of optical zoom but on a 4MP camera this will not matter often. didgi zoom is good up to a point but when zoomed in 5x you see drop in quality big time

Videos are really good for 320 * whatever it is. very crisp for what they are and you even get sound which is a big advantage over some others.

32mb card provided which is better than most for this price but i bought 128mb which is plenty!

the software it came with is really really good, and installed fine.

if you are looking for a camera in this price range and you need it for the same reasons as me (small and versatile) i can assure you this is top choice.
