Rating: Summary: A good little camera... Review: This is my first digital camera. Have already taken about 200 shots in 2 days or so. Beats a film-type camera for sure. Can take a picture and see it as soon as downloaded. Pros: 1) It's small and light in weight. 2) Macro feature is nice. 3) Also the self-timer 3) Software installs easily. 4) Once you find the right screen buttons to push...downloading the photos is quick and easy. 5) Software has a "Panorama" feature for "stitching" several photos together. 6) Video mode is nice...frame rate is slow though. No previous experience here. 6) After 200 photos, the battery is still showing a full charge (not too many flash shots though). Cons: 1) When the camera is first turned on, you need to push 3 buttons to get to the place where you can take non-flash pictures. Would prefer that this was the first option instead. 2) Probably need Win98SE installed or access to a Win98SE CD for a file that is needed? 3) Resolution could be better, but unless you take a picture of something with a lot of sharp, straight edges....it takes pretty good pictures. Note: To "install" the strap, you simply push the thin end (string end) thru one of the 2 openings near the battery cover...this end will appear out of the other opening and can then be looped. Instructions were poor here. Conclusion: Having fun...hope it lasts. The camera and the fun.
