We bought this camera for our daughter, as it can also be operated with normal batteries and is not so expensive that you would be a (child) damage to very angry. She makes good pictures, especially snapshots, making it fully suitable as entry-level camera. Due to the shape and size it is also very good in the hand. It is not so "tiny" as many other models, but I can see that more as a pleasant. This it can also keep you safe. Unfortunately, there is an optical image stabilizer, but for the price and for the intended purpose of us that's perfectly fine.
