Summary: Please read this befor you buy
Review: This camera is great because of its size and ease of use. But only half of my pictures are in-focus. I have experimented with every setting and still can not get consistently clear pictures. I bought this for my upcoming honeymoon and wish desperately that I had not because I don't want any of those moments out of focus.

At around $300 it may seem like a great deal but spend a few more dollars on a camera that gives consistent performance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loads of camera in a small package
Review: This camera is very compact and will easily fit in a shirt-pocket. The 5MP resolution is astounding in such a fun little camera.

The software included is a little sparse, but useable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this camera

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great point-and-shoot
Review: This is a great point & shoot digital. It is very small, fits in your pocket. The lens cover is very convenient. It takes great pictures at 5 megapix. Start up time and time between pics is very fast. The movie made allows you take 30sec audio/vid clips which is very cool and convenient and they come out great. Its nice for those times when you don't have / or dont feel like getting your camcorder out.

My only issue is the red-eye - which seems to happen on all small point and shoots. Most photo software packages allow you to zap out the redeye pretty effectively with the click of a mouse - so it's not a big deal.

Battery life is awesome. I've taken about 15 vids and 100 pics and the battery indicator still reads full-charge; and I always the display (not the viewfinder). My old camera used to chew through 4 AA's after some 30 pictures.

I was going to get the canon s40 which is very comparable but the price is better on this + its 5 megapixle + there is a 25$ credit towards memory card upgrade. You'll need to get a bigger mem card.
