Advantages: strong enough, value for money, not that smelly Disadvantages: Not strong enough for serious jungle work
...I bought this product this year after previously owning the 100 deet repellent, which is far stronger. However i will have to say that if i had the choice against i would definitely buy the 50 instead and for the following reasons:
1. It is not as smelly as the 100 deet and therefore if you plan on walking into nice restaurants or just being with company in general you can get away from it, unlike the stronger stuff which makes you smell like a chemical plant.
2. It is far stronger than any home-brand names you get on the High Street and therefore i found that after a 3 week trip to a malaria infected area i hardly had any mosquito bites.
4. Although it is strong enough to keep all mozzies at bay with exception of the dreaded piri piri fly, it is not strong enough to really damage your clothes or make your skin feel...

Advantages: very strong, lasts for ages Disadvantages: smelly, melts plastics
...I took this repellent with me when i went to Venezuela a couple of years ago now and some aspects really impressed whilt others were slighlty worrying.
With regards to the good aspects, well it killed pretty much everything and meant that over a month long period in the tropics i had very few mosquito bites. It was also very easy to use as it only required a quick spray on the exposed areas unlike coils and incense burners which require some fiddling.
It also stayed on the skin for a remarkable amount of time considering how much i sweated in the heat. In fact i only had to re-apply twice possibly thrice a day.
At 50ml there is plenty for a month long trip and i actually had a quater of a bottle left when i came back so i would reccommend purchasing this amount as oppose to carrying a larger bottle and spending more money...

Advantages: strong, lasts for ages (the bottle) Disadvantages: can sting, melts plastics
...I bought this repellent prior to an expedition to Venezuela and my opinions about it are mixed. The manufacturer claims that one application will last approximately 8 hours, but most environments where repellent is necessary it is very hot and therefore sweating reduces the effective 'repelling time' of the spray. However the main problem i encountered was the harshness of the spray, it can really sting your skin and if you have sensitive skin i strongly recommend you to avoid this. Another problem is eyes and nose, if it gets near any of these, it can be very problematic as one of my friends discovered (it can damage your lungs). An example of how strong this spary is: it melted my plastic pen, and as a word of warning it can do that to garments to. With all its disadvantages it does have its up sides: the small bottle of 100ml lasts...

All in one, D-SLR-style compacts bridge the gap between budget D-SLRs and system cameras, and their main appeal is the large built in zoom housed in the body.
