Best for
A popular mid-2000s superzoom bridge - fully articulated LCD (rotate and flip) was notable for its era, making it useful for video and low/high-angle work. 12x zoom covers 36-432mm equivalent - practical for travel and general use. 8MP CCD delivers characterful colour. Still useable as a casual camera.
Frequently asked questions
Does the articulating LCD make it good for video?
For the era, yes - the articulating LCD lets you shoot from low or high angles comfortably. Video quality (VGA only) is very dated by modern standards; for serious video a newer camera is essential.
