Quick review

The good
Build, image quality, easy to use, handling Face Detection AF
The bad
Noise at higher ISO settings, full manual on CD, purple fringing at wide end of zoom, 30fps movie’s limited to 10-second clips, frame rate, lacks manual/creative control
Verdict
A 3m-depth waterproofing and robust build means it is droppable from 1.5-metres – without it breaking into a sweat – or any of its components, and it is also capable of good quality images
