The Verve employs a new circular lens barrier that tucks away inside the camera body with a satisfying snap when the power is turned on, and protects it by creating a durable, impermeable seal from the elements when closed. The camera comes to life with a start-up sound of either a sports car engine, a pleasing chime or a lively electronic "Whew!" as well as a customizable start-up image on the LCD. The Verve also has three different catchy shutter sounds to choose from. Atop the camera's body is a unique rotating mode dial that spins to set the camera to take pictures, record movies or review images taken.

Verve: Stylish, but is it a good performer?
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Easy to function, many shooting modes to choose from, has a cool, sleek design
Cons: It would be great if this camera had a better zoom than 2x.
The verve is a very stylish camera. It comes in 6 different bold colors to choose from, which sets apart from the average Joe colored cameras.
The body is suitable for all weather conditions, even in some rain. Note: I have only tried taking pictures in light rainfall, not pouring rain. I don't plan on taking any in the pouring rain yet, but if someone tries it, I'd be interested to know how durable it is in heavy rain conditions. An underwater camera case is available for $80, and can take pictures up to 10 ft. I have not gotten the chance to buy it yet, but I would like to.
The design is utterly amazing, and truly a conversation piece. With a body so small, it has a large LCD screen that is 1.8 inches. However, I find it rather difficult to hold the camera without loosing my grip sometimes. The box includes a strap which I make sure to wrap around my wrist when holding onto it. I wouldn't recommend this camera for those who are a bit clumsy.
