Easy to use.......2006-11-19

I love this camera. I bought it for my trip to Paris. I found it very easy to use. One feature i didn't realize it had was video with sound. I found that very useful. I bought a 2GB memory card to go with the camera. The one it comes with doesn't hold that many pictures. The software was easy to install and use. Not really small enough for a pocket but still a great camera on a budget.

Some Important CONS you must be aware of.......2006-08-15

First off, let me make it clear that I am satisfied with this camera. I have had it for 8 months now and I have put it through its paces and its held up fine.

But there are few things you must know:

The camera has no zoom. I mean, practically no zoom. 2.2x may look decent but its pointless in any real-life situation. You WILL find yourself moving a lot with your camera to get a better shot, not standing in one place and using the zoom feature. You can never get a close wide shot - its just not possible with this camera. This camera is great for average stills but that's about it.

You have to click twice to take a picture or "press halfway and then fully" according to the manual. This is a major pain. Sometimes when the battery is weak, it may take a lot of time to take a picture (and a lot of frustration), so this is not a cam to capture any special pictures or "kodak moments".

Apart from these cons, the camera is great value for money and offers video and all kinds of stuff. If you're looking mostly looking to take landscape or portrait stills, this camera will do a good job!

Best camera for the price.......2006-01-07

I bought this camera six months ago for my 12 year old daughter. It was her (and ours) first digital camera. I read so many reviews prior to selecting this model. The reviews for this camera were so helpful. This camera has been so easy to use and it takes excellent pictures. Rechargeable batteries are definitely a must! This camera is the best camera for this price, no doubt about it. We have taken still shots and videos. It is so fun to have the option to take a video. We have some great clips. All I can say is we are so happy with the camera. We would definitely choose it again.

Good deal.......2005-12-21

Good camera for the $129 I paid. Does everything pretty well, and your picture modes are pretty customizable. Only qualm is it takes a second or two longer than I wish when the camera saves/loads pictures to the memory card. Might be a problem when trying to shoot consecutive pictures-- but probably wouldn't be doing it with this type of camera anyways.

Great camera - especially at this price.......2005-12-19

This is my 3rd digital camera and I bought this one to supplement my larger 10X zoom camera. This one fits nicely into a pocket or small camera bag to easily take it to all events or for travel. I've found that it takes nice photos indoors when the flash is used....Even when the cats or dogs I'm shooting are moving around. I've felt the life of a battery set is pretty good, but I've been using nice rechargeable ones. Definitely get a set of 4, then you have 2 to use and 2 as a backup set. The settings are pretty easy to figure out and change and 99% of my photos were taken on the "auto" setting and came out pretty good. As others have indicated, indoors - without flash - can produce blurry photos, but that's the nature of almost all cameras, not unique to this model. Glad I bought it and would highly recommend it.
