Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, decent digital photos, easier to use than a regular camera.
Cons: The biggest con is battery life! It will drain the life out of batteries.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this camera to someone that wants to take the camera from the package and begin using it without too much hassle.

We bought the camera at Wal-Mart. It came with software to install on your computer so that you can share photos via email. You can also print out photos using templates available. It has a photo editor that I use to brighten the photo. The red eye repair works well also. The sharpen tool doesn't work for me. Now that I've become familiar with taking digital photos, downloading, email sharing and printing, I feel I'm ready for a more expensive/powerful camera. But for beginners this is a winner!
