Title of review Fabulous!!
What are the strengths? The images are excellent - you will be stunned speechless. It is easy to hold and handle. Th controls are easy to understand and manage. The 12.8 megapixels are a definite plus point. It is reasonably priced. The LCD display screen is pretty good too.
What are the weaknesses? Slightly bulky build.
Summary In my opinion this is one of the best cameras available in the market today. Not only does it offer you 12.8 megapixels, excellent image quality, easy controls and features, but you get all this at an affordable price. I recommend this camera to all. It is worth the buy!!

Title of review High Resolution Camera
What are the strengths? High resolution images, low noise and easy to operate
What are the weaknesses? Price is comparitively low but still a bit on the heftier side. There is no constant ISO display.Minimal weather resistance
Summary On the whole it is a decent midrange digital SLR. It has a good sensor ISO 1600 and 3200. Outstanding image quality and very user friendly. Except for a few things like having minimal weather reistance and no vertical shutter release, it is on the whole an affordable camera for the new generation.

Title of review New generation Camera
What are the strengths? Delivers great images, Top notch high resolution, large 2.5 inch color screen and an ergonomic control layout.
What are the weaknesses? Sometimes images show a red fringe around highlighted transitions. No water and dust resistance.
Summary Comaparitively low price, It is a camera for the new genneration of photographers with a large screen, high resolution images, low noise levels. The 24x36mm sensor maintains normal viewpoint of wide angle lens and enable group, architechtural and landscaping pictures. Its non resitance to weather conditions, however, may prove a small problem. Else it is a highly recommended camera.

Title of review Versatile
What are the strengths? Very versatile. It has a 35mm sensor which obviates focal length conversions. 2.5 inch color LCD with 170 degree view angle. High resolution, good picture quality and good for architechtural and scenic photography
What are the weaknesses? LCD often needs to be adjsted to the brightness in sunny situations. It has no build in flash.
Summary Very highly specific machine, professional and good performer. If some of the glitches can be improved, it would rate high on the scale.
