Rating: Summary: Best camera for the money Review: This digital novice researched & narrowed the field between the HP Photosmart & this one (in my price range). I was told the time for reset between shots is longer in the HP, so I got this one. Easy to use, good results in just a week! Photos came out great, uploading to my iMac is a snap. Get a large memory card so there's no worry about not being able to take the photo you want--64mg holds alot! The most fun I've ever had with a camera! Caveat: Realize the added expense of necessary accessories--extra memory card, rechargeable batteries & charger; I also purchased an extended service agreement. Also, this does not have an optical zoom. Lastly, I've read that camera makers are going more with cameras using the Compactflash card rather than the Smartmedia card, which this uses, so Smartmedia may be on its way out--but I'm not sure about this.
Rating: Summary: Only for newbies Review: This is a very easy to use camera ideally suited for newcomers to digital photography. This is probably the cheapest 2.1 megapixel camera in the market at the moment. But be prepared to compromise on quality. Pictures are of acceptable quality in good daylight but absolutely horrible in low lit surroundings. The auto focus doesnt work that well either.I returned mine after two weeks. My recommendation: Go get a Canaon A20 instead.
Rating: Summary: I have two of them Review: This is an easy to use camera that you can beat the crap out of. I thought that i had lost my first one and i missed it so much i bought a second... well the first one showed up again and now i loan them both out to my high school kids for website projects. I used this camera in asia and central america and beat the heck out of it knowing i had another at home. Over the last three years I have used this camera in the rain dropped it several times and never once put it in a protective case. It still works great and my kids are still punishing both of them. with a 128MB smart media disk i can hold about 1,000 picures (on lowest quality) before i need to download.
