Summary: Digital Brownie Hawkeye
Review: I bought this primarily for eBay auctions. It performs adequately, but "battery hungry" is this camera's middle name. Battery life is about three hours total, a bit longer if you avoid using the display and flash. It does take good pictures, but only with sufficient ambient light. The flash tends to wash out the image, and the red eye feature is useless. I was told you can't get a really decent camera for under $150, and that is apparently true. I bought a cheap camera, and that's what I got.

Summary: Cool
Review: I got this for x-mas a year ago, and so far I have been satisfied. It has good quality with light, and if you don't have light there is a flash. The batteries do drain kind of quick. But it works good for me, and I use it for simple photography.

Summary: Easy to use, but...
Review: I'm not impressed at all with this camera. It's alright for the price and all, but without an A/C adapter it really drains the batteries. It would have been nice to have one. It is fairly easy to use though and is a good beginner digital camera if you have the money to constantly replace the (4) AA batteries after just a couple sessions.

Summary: Bad quality lens.
Review: This camera could have been great if the lens was of a decent quality. Unfortunately, objects that are relatively close or object at infinity focus are fuzzy. Even at the optimal range for the lens the images are just not good. I realize that fixed focus lenses have their limitations, but this one is definitely much much worse than other fixed focus lens cameras that I've used. Steer clear of this camera, even if you find it cheap at a garage sale.

Summary: Awsome Camera
Review: This is a great digital camera for anyone. I just got it and it works wonderfuly. the pictures for me come in really clear. this is a real good deal. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because it uses the batteries pretty fast. Other than that its really good.
