Key Advantages

The camera's compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for casual photographers. Its 8-megapixel sensor ensures good image quality for prints and digital display. The 3x optical zoom covers a practical range for many shooting scenarios. The inclusion of manual exposure controls allows experienced users to creatively adjust settings. The camera's quick startup and shot-to-shot speed help capture moments efficiently. Additionally, the bright 2.5-inch LCD screen provides a clear view for framing and verifying photos.

Limitations

The Stylus 840's maximum ISO of 800 may result in noticeable noise in low-light photography. Its limited zoom range restricts use in long-distance or telephoto shots. The camera lacks advanced features found in contemporaries, such as image stabilization. Battery life may be limited, especially when using the LCD screen extensively. Storage capacity depends on the use of memory cards, which are sold separately. The relatively slow autofocus can impact capturing fast-moving subjects accurately.
