Summary: Sorry I bought it
Review: We bought it for our daughter as an inexpensive camera.
(1) It takes 4 AAA batteries
(2) It takes a LOT of batteries.
(3) The Simple Tech CF memory card included is not compatible.
(4) The darned thing creaks as you press buttons.
(5) It is SLOW.
(6) The most difficult digital camera to use so far.
Buy something else.

Summary: Seems like great camera....if the one I got wasnt defective
Review: Well, I got this camera & took a few pictures with it, but it was a hassle. The power button never seemed to work properly. I couldnt tell if the camera was on or off half the time & it would make weird clicking noises at me. The few pictures I was able to take turned out good, even on the lowest res. There is a combination of 6 different qualities-
2 poss. resolutions: 1600x1200 (which still isnt 2.1 mp tho??) & 800x600; and 3 poss. compressions: super fine, fine, normal
This yields (w/ the onboard 8Mb) anywhere from 6 to 95 pictures. From what Ive heard (this is really my first digital camera), most digital cameras drain batteries quick. Well, this one is a joke- the batteries were drained in a day. Save the 4 AAA batteries that come with this camera for something else & buy some NiMH rechargeable (I bought 8 so I'd have 4 to use while the others were charging).... You'll also need a battery charger (if you dont already have one)- ... And an AC adapter (which BTW is extremely difficult to find one that matches the specs needed) ... Luckily I got a free 32Mb media card, or that would've brought my total for accessories up near the price of the camera. One more suggestion about battery life: turn off the preview and/or view finder to save power. In conclusion, if you have most of the supplies ... To be honest though, I wasnt able to experiment with the camera too much before the power button stopped working, but based on the low res pictures, I should be very happy with one that works.
