Summary: Clunky, noisy but still okay
Review: This camera is really a mixed bag. I hate absolutely everything about it: too noisy, zoom too slow, unimpressive viewfinder, etc. But even as bad as this camera is, I took some really amazing pictures with it. You know the saying: It is a poor workman who blames his tools...I'm not saying that those who got bad pictures with it don't know how to take photos but I have to admit that out of the several hundreds of photos I took with it, only a few were really bad, and it's mostly because the setting was too dark (I mostly take outdoor photography and sunsets). I'm definitely looking for a new camera because this one is just too clunky, noisy, slow and butt ugly. But it has served me well for a couple of years now and I'm happy with my photos, so in the end, that's what counts. 2 1/2 stars.

Summary: don't buy!!!
Review: This camera seemed great at first. But a few months after I received this thing, it seemed like the very loud noises it makes were getting slower. I changed the batteries, thinking this would help, but this did no good. The mechanism covering the lens that you slide open and closed IS very breakable, as my lens rarely works. I took very good care of this camera, but the lens has a mind of its own. It zooms out only occasionally..., do not waste your time or money.

Summary: Yo!
Review: This was my first camera (actually, I had an underwater camera and it ruined my film,the shutter release didn't work and hardly any of the pictures came out) and I personally have no problem with it. I just have to push the zoom button way to many times to get maxium-zoomage (and, believe me, maxium-zoomage is not that long), and the shutter release is way too close to the zoom buttons (I'm having night mares of trying to zoom, but then hitting the shutter release and wasting a picture). My pictures don't come out to dark or too light, like most of the other reviewers said. Hmmmm, oh, yea, it makes too much noise when you open the lense and push the shutter release (kind of annoying if I'm trying to take a candid photo). Overall, the miner flaws are not really that bad, and I reccomend this camera for any photographer. PEACE OUT!
