Summary: Good Little Camera
Review: This is a good little camera. Very easy to use, and the shots I took were pretty good. Indoor and close up shots are a little tricky, but overall a great prurchase.

Review: This is an excellent easy to use, go anywhere work of art. And Amazon's price (my favorite store) cannot be beat. It is beautifully crafted and takes very good 1 mp pictures that are easy to transfer to computer and charge at the same time with the included USB cable. No sofware to install in Windows XP. So easy, a manual is not even needed to begin shooting. The litium ion battery shoots the full 45 pictures at highest resolution without showing much use, and then downloading them to the computer, recharges the battery... simplicity and beauty all in one. It is the same overall size as my Canon S400 (Elf) but less than half the thickness. It weighs next to nothing (half my Nokia 6560 wireless phone). I have used or owned several 1 mp cameras and this takes the best pictures I have seen... none of that blurry edge as on others... nice sharp shots edge to edge without any pixelation whatsoever. Cautions: do not leave the camera attached to the computer when it is turned off or goes into standby as it will drain the battery. Also be SURE to hold the camera against something to prevent motion blur. The flash is very nice, although quite weak (shots 3-6' are fine). I love it and that is from someone who has several other high-end digitals.
UPDATE: I have now taken over 200 pictures with this little gem and my rating is unchanged. I even took several dozen during a snowstorm from inside the house and dozens outside after it was over with trees and ground deep in white. Only two pictures needed to be deleted since they were blurry and overexposed. I must have shaken the camera since the wind was strong. The others, even with all the white and with a high potential for over-exposure, were perfect. I printed several 4x6s and 1 8x10 and even the 8x10 from a few feet away looked like a photolab print... just beautiful. I use only the large picture size, so I cannot comment on the 640x480 pictures... why bother... with 45 shots at the largest size setting and nearly a full battery at the end of shooting, it is the only way to go. Colors are uniformly natural with only a slight fare on highly saturated and bright colors (a shot of a pointsettia showed some flaring due to the intense red). For the money, this camera cannot be beat! One other tip is to use a small clamp from the garage to sit it on a table or shelf for pictures since it does not have a tripod thread. Just clamp at the bottom horizontally and the clamp acts as a stand. And amazingly the camera carries a two year warranty.

Summary: great camera
Review: This is by far the best 1.3 megapixel camera I have owned and extremely convenient too.It's small and strong enough to carry in any pocket all the time ready for quick use.The power and shoot time
is about 2 seconds with 1 second between subsequent shots.As long as you have reasonably steady hands the picture quality outdoors or under fluorescent lights is excellent.Indoors in poor lighting its a little harder to judge flash distance for good results.

Review: Win an award with this camera I think not, however for what it represents itself to be it delivers. The camera is about as simple as it can get, just point and shoot, the included software is very user friendly and helpful. If your looking for a secondary camera to carry with you for those unplanned, photo opportunities this one is definitely worth considering. The cost is well worth the camera, which is in its on very well made metal cover, and is not only very compact, but nice looking as well
