Quick review

The good: Tough, waterproof, freezeproof, dropproof, price, rugged
The bad: Images were soft, dropping it might not damage the camera but it will damage your floor or foot, xD or microSD only, fiddly buttons on rear
Verdict: If rugged is your thing, you don't want to print your pictures too large and you can put up with some fiddly controls, this might just be the camera for you

Actually, the lens is a 28-102mm equivalent (not 20-102mm) Posted by Peter K. Burian, Canada
Note too: When Beauty mode is used (in Capture mode OR as a post-processing feature in Playback mode), resolution is reduced to 2 Megapixels. Also the process is quite slow.

But it does work well providing a slight improvement without an artificial-looking effect. Posted by Peter K. Burian, Canada
The point of the tap tap function is so u can use it when u have gloves on. Say Skiing surfing etc.... The whole point of the camera Posted by Ryan, UK
