More CR Kennedy reviews , RRP: AU$304.00

The good:

  • Compact
  • Excellent macro capabilities
  • Easy-to-use manual focus

The bad:

  • Tiny, inaccurate optical viewfinder
  • LCD panel difficult to view in bright sunlight
  • Average performance

The bottomline:

Its viewfinder shortcomings affect outdoor use, but this ultracompact model for the point-and-shoot set is versatile and user-friendly.
