With both viewfinder (Not true SLR) and screen facilities, a full range of functions including manual overide, it seems to be the ideal camera for a starter, or a spare in my case. She bought it new on offer from £199.00 now selling at £129.00. (Can't go wrong with that).

PS the pics aren't bad either.

Regards.....Phil
