Pros:Decent picture quality, dependable, easy for beginners, good owners' manual, durable, CompactFlash compatible
Cons:Boxy, random dots, no lens options, difficult control/finetuning, battery life, screen issue.
The Bottom Line: If you can get one from eBay or something, that would be fine. If not, shop around. You can do better.

Overall, a solid camera. Well made, things work the way they should. I've had it for 2 or 3 years now, and I received it as a gift. Picture quality is pretty good, and it's relatively small size makes it easy to pack in a bag or stow in a roomy pocket. Not for use by professionals or action photographers. Shutter lag is considerable enough to be frustrating, unless you press the button halfway and wait for the camera to prep itself to take the shot. There are little picture errors on the image files, in the form of small white or brightly colored dots in random places. Never more than 2 per picture, and extremely easy to remove / hide using modern photo imaging software. A must for this camera is the relatively difficult to find recharger and rechargeable battery, as it goes through batteries very quickly. Battery life can be conserved if the LCD screen is turned off, but I haven't figured out how to take a picture with the screen off simultaneously. The screen must be turned on to take a photo. The size, while small, is rather brick-ish- it is not slim or sleek. It will just out if simply dropped into the average pocket.

Recommended: No


Amount Paid (US$): 300
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Easy Enough for Anyone to Use
