It packs a substantial8.2MP for its class, an optical zoom of3X supplemented with a digital zoom of up to 12X and a host of interesting features like Face recognition AF and AE, Image stabilizer (ASR) Ergonomics are good.

The Face Recognition mode automatically recognises and focuses on faces, enabling you to take better portrait pictures.The ASR technology designed to preventthe degradation of image clarity and colour, works effectively as well . Even though it boasts of an ISO of 1600, this domain is left with a lot to be desired.The images at ISO 1600 are of very poor quality. The movie feature is definitely a plus point.With movie recording in the SVGA quality (800X592) size it provides wider images than the VGA (600X480) size.

It supports MMC (up to 2GB) and SDHC (up to 4GB) external memory cards.The camera comes with a unique multi charging system, which means that with a single charging cable, you can conveniently charge the camera on a power point or a computer.
