Unusable because of battery consumption.......2007-06-12

I made the mistake of buying two of these. One for my wife and one for my son at the same time. Sure, they are cheap, but they should at least work like a camera. They take double A batteries. You are literally lucky to get 10 pictures out of a set of new batteries. Sometimes you get 3 or 4. You literally have to carry a pocketful of batteries to use this camera. Sure, the pictures are great, you just can't take any. There is nothing more frustrating. I have an old Cannon Elph that will take literally hundreds of pictures on one charge. These guys are begging for a class action lawsuit.

Great little Camera.......2007-05-14

I bought one of these for my son (black model)last Christmas. He LOVES it. Takes short video and nice pictures. Then my mother in law was taking about getting a digital camera. We suprised her by getting one (silver model) She just came back from a trip around the USA and she LOVES it! It is easy to use and takes very nice pictures. We also got her a 512mb memory card, large enough to store hundreds of pictures.
We paid about $100 them, you can find cheap shipping on some if you look around.

Great camera.......2007-05-13

This is a great little point-and-shoot camera and video camera with sound!, but for the same price I could get the 630 at wal-mart, so I sold it for $100 and went and got the 630. The 630 is exactly the same size and usability but it's 6 megapixel and supports 4GB SD card so you can record lots of movies without having to exchange the card. A 256 MB SD card will hold a 3.5 minute video, so if you do the math..potentially you can take almost an hour long video at 30fps, 640X480! That's awesome and NO TAPES..you got to love that! On auto mode, it takes great pictures! Also, if you get 2700 NimH rechargeable batteries, the battery life will last for an hour long video recording as well. This camera is so small I can stick it in my front pants pocket and I've got a great still shot and movie camera wherever I go! No more lugging around a camcorder with the case and everything...very convenient!

Great Little Camera.......2007-04-22

I bought this camera for my 9yr old son because of the price (less than $100)and it turned out to be better than any of the canon digitals I have owned. I learned log ago to use rechargeable batteries, so I wouldn't let any posts regarding battery drain sway you from a purchase. My son has autism and gives this camera a workout. It's taken plenty of abuse and up to 500 pictures per week for the past six months. The video and lighting modes are incredible too, I get a lot more "keepers" out of this inexpensive camera than any I digital I have owned to date.

excellent for the price.......2007-04-03

I'm not 13 I'm 15 but I do not have an account to comment.
I bought this camera through amazon for my Graduation present. I have it for already a few months and its a good camera. Its easy to use, lots of different settings, a large nice screen, even makes long movies.
Its not as small as the other more expensive cameras, but its not huge and bulky. There is a few negetive things to it:
It uses batteries, and charging it mean you have to buy new ones. I solved this problem by buying rechargeble batteries, they last longer and you can reuse them. The battery life on this camera is not that great too. Well that might be the fault of my duracel batteries. If this camera would have better battery life then it would be five stars.
Overall this is a great camera, with a great price. Good for teens and beginners to cameras plus is budget friendly. I got it under $120!
