Limitations

The camera’s 3x optical zoom range is limited compared to higher-end models, restricting telephoto reach.

Video recording is restricted to VGA resolution with no HD capability, which limits video quality.

The low-resolution LCD (230k dots) may affect image review clarity under bright light.
