• When powering off the camera it clearly displays “Bye-Bye” on the LCD screen.

Cons:

• The locking/closing mechanism on the camera for the area where the SD card and battery compartment is feels a little cheap to me.
• Buttons on the camera seem a little stiff to press down on
• There’s no lens cap to protect it when not in use.
• After taking a picture, there is very little delay and it disappears very shortly off the LCD screen so there’s no time to check it
• No sound on Video recordings.
• The Photags Express software is not compatible on Macintosh computers.
• Does not come with batteries.
