I have this camera and it is worth the money easily, but in no way is it a "mini SLR" it has a fixed 10x optical zoom which you cant change, but it does take great pics.

Read the details 'mini SLR Style ' STYLE is the word here.
As in its not a compact camera cos it has a ruddy great lens on the front of it. And it protrudes.
Nice find (the next model up, the S5700, is around £90-£100) BUT I'm pretty sure this is NOT a Digital SLR - it's still a compact with some SLR-like features.
If I'm wrong I apologise - voted hot anyway!
It's still a misleading title. SLR is the mechanism by which the photographer views the subject. You see exactly what will be captured on film, as opposed to a non-SLR camera.
This 'style' of camera is known as a super zoom digital camera.

Good find though.
There we go, edited. Just wanted to include as much info as poss. This, for anyone who is interested is marketed sometimes as a Baby SLR. As it has alot of features that an SLR camera has. It does not have interchangable lenses. Just has a similar feel to that of an SLR.
