This is an awesome camera that takes great quality photos. It has a number of customizable feature if you want to explore them or you can use the automatic or preset modes and just point and click. The video isn't bad either. I bought a kingston 512mb sd card to go with it, and it holds 184 fine quality 5 mega pixel pictures before you have to download them or switch cards. Like all digital cameras your going to need to make use of a battery charger. This camera also has a traditional view finder hole in addition to the monitor, so you can center you subject even in bright sunlight.
I bought this for Christmas 2006 and for the price (I paid slightly less $100) this camera surpassed every expectation I had.

we have owned several kodak cameras prior to this that cost more than twice the price and this one has more capability and is smaller and lighter. Don't get me wrong we love our Kodaks but to go from 3mp to 5mp for much less money it was a great buy

I bought five of these cameras for our company sales team. They like the simplicity of the controls, the compact size and the sharp photos they get without much effort. For the price, you can't find a digital camera that offers more.
