There is a metal tripod mount in the center of the bottom of the camera, so yea it should work.

Personally, i have a Hama Star 63 tripod, i love it! i'd recommend it over and over!

I know it's more money, but I'd personally look at something like this:

The problem with the fixed leg angle tripods like the one you're looking at is that they're only really good for level ground. Yes you can adjust the leg length to balance the tripod but you can't change the leg angle and whenyou're trying to get the camera into a tight corner you'll definately need that feature!

The head also has quick release and a trigger type adjustment AND it has a built in bubble level (which can be very useful when taking landscape shots!

Nice spot Nath,id second that suggestion.Good quality tripod with decent features at a great price for light weight cameras.
