I was surprised by the quality for this price.

When connected to a computer under XP, the camera is recognized without additional drivers. Windows automatically launches the "scanner or digital camera wizard", which allows you to copy photos to a person who is not even friends with a computer. By default, the destination folder is "my pictures". True, it is copied slowly, about 1MB / sec.
In addition, it is possible, with such a connection, to open through the conductor.
I chose the color of the case live in the store. Black seemed to me the most stylish. The other, silver with a white center, also looks pretty nice. Blue and red with a black center look a bit rustic. It is the wide black rim-body that seems to spoil the view.

Pros

Optics of acceptable quality, only small aberrations are noticeable at the edges of the frame. Noises are discreet, like film grain. When shooting - fast in everything. The video is very good, lively. Good auto white balance. Enough standard modes. Well organized controls and menus. Easy to view photos and videos. I am very pleased with its standardization: batteries (accumulators) - the most popular - AA, audio-video connector - standard mini-jack, data transfer - via standard mini-USB, memory card - SD. Each of the listed devices is the most common in its field of application, which means that there will be no problems with connecting at a party, while traveling, or high costs for the purchase of new accessories.

Cons

No significant shortcomings were found. Unless: there is no position sensor - vertically-horizontally. But you can manually apply "verticality" to the desired frames when viewing on the camera.
