The editors liked

  • The touch screen – the only access to camera controls – is intuitive and responsive
  • Although we did find it stuck on a couple of occasions. Being Android based file management is excellent – simply plug it into a PC (or a Mac using the Android file manag

  • This camera is good
  • Really good. The software and management features are significantly ahead of traditional camera brands and the fact that it comes with a full blown Jelly Bean OS

The editors didn't like

  • The touch screen is super sensitive and it is easy to accidentally take photos. Fortunately they don't cost anything but they are time wasters when sorting through pictures
  • Easy to get lost in the flashy features and forget that this is actually a camera too
  • Asking price is high for a camera of only snapshot quality
  • Removable media is the small and fiddly microSD
  • Larger than the average pocket snapshot too
  • $599
  • What's missing is accessories such as a decent camera case or mini tripod. A slot for a hot swap flash would also be an advantage especially if you want to use a stronger flash with its own battery pack.
  • Short battery life. Overall photo quality is OK
  • But may not be worth the price for some users
  • Battery life is poor
  • Reasonbly bulky
  • Not exactly the fastest camera to switch on
  • Proprietary HDMI port
  • Many apps aren't really designed for a camera with optical zoom
  • Can send texts
  • But not make phone calls
