I bought this camera as a temporary replacement for my Canon G3 after it had a run in with a fast moving motorcycle. Despite the rugged case the Canon lost! While not compatible with the Canon, a much more expensive camera, I am very impressed with this shirt pocket camera. What I like about this camera: GREAT value for money Small size Rugged metal case Flush fitted lens protection when not in use Easy of use All the standard features I'm not so keen on: The rechareable battery. I prefer AA batteries, particularly when abroad for the freedom from mains power or car adapter and all the leads and paraphanalia associated with wall socket charging.
