Just got this camera last night, and I'm already wanting to return it. I've used a variety of digital cameras over the years, of varying quality and price, and this has to be the worst one I've ever used. If you have perfect light, your subject is completely stationary, and you have an extremely steady hand, you can take a decent picture with it. Barring that, you're not going to be satisfied with the pictures you take with this camera. The lag time between hitting the button and the photo actually being taken is almost a full second. On top of that, it doesn't take quick pictures even after the delay. Taking a picture of my cat walking very slowly (he's a fat cat, not exactly spry in his old age) resulted in a greyish blur in the middle of the screen. Similar experiments taking pictures of my wife turned out horribly as well. Now, for a cheap camera, I could almost live with this if not for the worst "feature" of all... it will not retain any of the settings after powering off. So every time you start it up, every single button press produces a high pitched squeal. It can be shut off but that's a lot of button presses to get through the menu, and by that time you've scared off any wildlife you were trying to take a picture of. My cats run terrified when I'm trying to get this thing setup properly because it must hurt their ears more than mine.

Bottom line: If you're only planning on taking pictures in good lighting of buildings or other touristy things, this camera might just barely suit your needs, if you can stand the horrible beeping noises.

I purchased this camera thinking it might be a good deal. I understand you get what you pay for, but this is way beyond reason. I was able to take three pictures before my twelve dollar pack oF triple AAA's (four pack) was done for. Not only that, but the pictures that I got were horrible. If I wanted a 7.1 megapixel picture of my dog as a black cloud I would have bought a disposable digital camera. Although, I bet those might be made of better quality.

DON'T BUY THIS 7.1 MEGAPEICE OF @#$# CAMERA.

Quite possibly the worst digital camera I have ever come across. My son received this camera for christmas and we were not able to take a decent photo in any light. I have used digital cameras since 1999 and have never seen such poor quality.

This is a terrible camera. As mentioned below, there's a long lag between pressing the button and actually getting the photo. In addition, if anyone is wearing white, they get blown out while everyone else is dark. I would take it back, but I bought it while traveling and tossed the packaging. I won't make that mistake again - or buy another product from this company.

My daughter received this camera for Christmas and it was a total let down. The quality of the pictures were very poor. Lighting in the room or outside has to be perfect and the person or object that you are photographing has to be perfectly still, otherwise the photos are blurry and distorted. I would not recommend this camera at all!
