Great little camera
Guy at Jessops recommend this camera to me and he was right its a great little camera. The picture quality is excellent, I took a lot of pictures on trip to London and they looked like professional standard. The camera connects direct to the IPad & automatically loads the pictures. They look pin sharp on the IPad.

I have said I would never buy a camera with out a viewfinder but I was seduced by the features, in particularly the 14X zoom. of the 220SX. It performs well but it is very difficult to take a photo in bright light, worse than others I have compared it to. Recently I attempted to take a picture of a boat out to sea using guess work and I missed it 4 times! I would not buy one again or recommend it to anyone who wants to take serious photos.

Cracking compact
I bought this as a 2nd pocket sized camera to complement my Canon SLR. This camera takes very good quality pictures - its easy to use and has an impressive range of auto / manual programs. The video options are good fun - the HD video is excellent for such a small unit. Very good value - if you want one camera this can do most of what you will want to do. Obviously it can`t compare to the SLR but you can`t slip that in your pocket.
