The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Decent device for the price. Bought as a gift for a schoolboy for 4tr. Also purchased:
a) Kodak set: 4 AA 2100mAh batteries and a charger -500r (simple batteries are discharged after 10 flash shots);
b) 4GB SDHC flash drive - 300r (built-in memory is only about 6MB - these are two, three pictures with maximum resolution);
c) tripod 1.2m - 400r.
d) case - 200.
I liked that when shooting fir trees in the snow in cloudy weather, the processor significantly stretched the green color.
The color of tea and the reflection of light in a glass glass was captured with an additional zoom of about 2 and a flash. But the brilliance of a blooming violet flower could not be conveyed. Instead of gloss, faded white dots turned out.
Approximately the same problem with portrait shooting. A flash and an additional flashlight do not allow to convey the brilliance and volume of the pupils of the eyes. The eyes are pale and slightly blurry. This is, apparently, the limitation of optics. In addition, the skin tone is slightly littered towards red. True, this is easily corrected by Photoshop or a good operator on a printing machine. In general, the quality of 10x15 prints can be considered quite acceptable for a family home.

Pros

Large selection of different shooting modes for beginners. The ability to fix the ISO value to reduce noise. Powered by two standard or AA size batteries. Cheap memory - SDHC. The presence of a panoramic shooting mode (automatic merging of three frames into a panorama). Possibility to disable automatic adjustment of aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity and subsequent adjustment to your liking. Ability to shoot videos 640x480.

Cons

No viewfinder. Small viewing angles at the screen. Approximately 20 degrees vertically and 50 degrees horizontally. Therefore, even with the maximum brightness of the screen under the bright sun, the subject sometimes has to be framed at random. Only vague outlines are visible on the screen. Only one format for saving files - Jpeg. Insufficiently sensitive microphone. When serving a sound recording, you have to increase the volume or filter out noise.
