Or maybe I'm just sorry for the broken old one and I'm just finding fault with the new one, but the lens is even visually different. The benefits of it include: Decent camera for amateurs. Simple to use and equipped with all the essential features. Landscapes and everyday life are captured with a respectable level of quality. As was stated, the battery does not lose its charge (I have not figured out how to protect it from discharging in the cold). Simple navigation with helpful hints. Different cons: I had exactly the same without the word Kit in the title (lasted 4 years, but it crashed). So the new lens is much less effective! That is not as strong (with light pressure to close the lid, the zoom itself changes).
