ultra-compact camera, worth the price?

Let's introduce you to the COOLPIX S01camra, a highly compact one, and yet with some good features.

The selling point of this mini is its size; it fits into your closed palms: it is even smaller than most smartphones. To compensate for lack of space for buttons, it has touch screen for display as well as setting changes. 

The camera boasts of about 10MP picture size and 3x zoom, good qyuality of pics and also HD quality movie recording. 

But, is it worth the price it comes for: about Rs. 7000 [or $140] at present? Yes, only if you - especially ladies - were in the lookout for a camera that was feather-witht and small, so that you could fit in your pocket / purse and carry it everywhere. But why not use the smartphone camera, if you want to keep yourself so light? Some solace here: its optics are likely to better than most phone cameras, even those with very high pixel counts. Then it has built-in flash, not found on many phone cameras.

The camera comes in white, silver, pink and red colors.
