This is my first digital camera and it was a gift from a novice so I have no idea how much he spent on it. It is an excellent little camera and very user friendly! The included software is very useful and not just a pile of crap that usually comes with stuff like this. If you have XP, the software is not necessary because it does everything for you, the software just has a bunch of fun extras. The display screen is not very large but this doesn't seem to be a big problem for me since I just wanted a point and shoot camera. It does take some time in between pictures using flash, however, outdoors i never use the flash and it works great! One photo after the other. Doesn't take forever to load the photos onto your PC either! very simple! Would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a compact camera and not a lot of bells and whistles! wonderful product! PS... don't be intimidated if you don't recognize the brand name, I was worried myself, but you have no reason to worry!----


i would like to retract this statement. This camera has proven to be AWFUL. After just 3 weeks with this camera, i've decided it's terrible. Poor photo quality, time between photos increases as the camera ages and there are so many better ones out there. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. it's awful!

It's light, it's inexpensive, it's small - AND takes GREAT pics! I keep mine set on the middle settings (pixels) and have taken pics of my kids on go-carts, riding the four-wheeler, bungee jumping - including movies of them bungee jumping! You should read the manual, so you know what all of the little icons are for. I have had no problems with the flash or blurry pics - I don't understand the person that wrote that the camera was terrible - apparently they don't know how to use it.

Great camera - the only downside I have found is that is does take longer to "reset" - if you want to take a quick series of pics, this is not the camera for you - takes about 5-10 seconds to be ready to shoot again - a long time if you are trying to do a series...

Listen, this may not be the best camera in the world, but when my 9-year old son asked for a Polaroid camera for his birthday, I saw this as a good alternative. Picture quality is good, the resolution is great, and it's extremely easy to transfer the pictures to your computer -- just plug in the USB connector and it'll show up as a removeable hard drive that you can copy the pictures from. It only holds about 20 pictures at full resolution, but about twice as many at the medium resolution (which is still pretty descent). If I had bought a Polaroid instead, I would have spent $80 so far just on the film he would have taken. Plus, with the video cable, you can plug it right into your TV, which my son did at the end of his birthday party, so everybody could enjoy seeing all the pictures he took all day long. The cost and ease of use makes this a good starter camera.

the flash washed everything out! outdoors it takes great movie clips and pics but if you are planning to use the flash be prepared to see white or black blocks of nothingness. batteries run out very quickly. i did like the size of it...just wished it worked.

I bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas, what a mistake that was, the flash overexposed every picture and the manual controls were not user friendly, invest in a better camera for your money like the Vivitar 3785 or Canon A510 .

We got the 308 with the underwater housing and took it to Hawaii. I and my girlfriend were very impressed. The underwater housing performed perfectly, and the pictures (taken one step below the highest resolution) were clear and sharp, even when we put them up on a 36inch monitor. It's not as fast and doesn't have as many of the creature comforts as some of the more expencive 3.2's, but that was great for my girl, who didn't want a something that was too complicated, and for the price, it was excellenet. This company makes all the internal camera parts for many of the big companies and now they have their own line, so I thought it was a good gamble, eventhough I'd never heard of them before. It comes with all the cables, batteries and software, but you'll need to buy your own SD card. We recommend this camera, and were glad to have it on our vacation.

Nice little camera, but it does not take quality pictures. We used this camera for pictures of all kinds and the pictures look great on the camera display, but once they are printed they are very blurry and distorted. Spend the extra money to get something of good quality, this camera is definitely not it.

this camera is pesky. the settings wouldn't save, the flash is off by default.

it seriously needs a viewfinder, you can't see anything, even in a very well lit room. the pictures are horrible, and dark, and very very grainy.

with the flash, the pictures are really overexposed, and most pictures are worthless. please do not even consider this camera.

If you need a digital camera and you don't want to spend a fortune. You can buy this camera. It's great and even if it only works for a year or two at least you can get your money's worth.
Give it a try... I've had mine for about 4 months and it's still in great condition...

I bought this camera for vacation and it was great. the pictures were great and i would reccomend this camera because it a good camera for the money
