well after using it for some months I found following issues with this camera :
1. Format error : often it shows this message and you don’t know when you get this error and in spite of taking photos when you will try to see those they will not come up
2. Battery : it seems that the cost o battery is very high and if you are out of battery you have no option but have to recharge it before use again and spare battery will cost you fortunes and also sometimes the battery level is not the right indicator of its actual strength.
3. Portability : thats good thing about it, you can put it in pocket and easily take from place to lace
4. Zoom : Ok but sometimes you feel you not have the right focus on distant objects
but yes if you take care of it then its good camera for starters at good price and great picture quality in its class.
