I LOVE this little camera!:
Researched and researched cameras until I was researched OUT! Saw this little jewel and decided (based on other reviews) I should try it. SOOOOO glad I did! Human-friendly camera, easy to use, GREAT pics and just what else could you ask for? Oh yeah....was at a GREAT price. Got an HP camera a couple years ago, cost much more and wasn't anywhere as user-friendly as this one. Plus, it kept "eating" batteries so couldn't keep it working. Eveyone that has seen this one and the pics taken are astounded by them.... more info
Small & Versatile:
Amazing versatility in a small, lightweight camera. Uses only 2 AA batteries; we had been accustomed to needing 4. User manual is a PDF file. You'll need to purchase a larger capacity memory card, as we found out on Thanksgiving day.
New camera malfunctions and its 2 months old..:
This camera was bought for me as a gift and its barely two months old and the batteries are draining brand new after one or two pics. I AM SO UPSET! Now I can't take pics for the holidays. My next camera wont be a canon for sure!
Very nice camera.:
For the price, it really can't be beat. Takes great pictures and is a total steal. Nothing in its price range can compare at this point.
