Bought this camera for my wife to use because I got a great deal. She didn't have it one week and it started having problems. Some deal.

The first problem was that she couldn't download all the pictures without the camera shutting off. We found that in order to download the pictures from the 128MB SD memory card we had to download them 20 at a time.

The second problem was the battery life. Even when using 2000mAh NiMH AA batteries we could only get about 50 shots before needing a fresh pair.

Lastly the color representation was very bad. I have a picture of some flowers that I have shared here on Amazon. The blue flowers to the right of the yellow rose were really purple, not blue.

I've had better luck with my older Olympus and my wife's new Canon camera. Avoid this camera like the plague.

I am surprised there weren't any reviews for this camera. It's excellant for the price. I have taken some great pictures with it and it has worked with all my computer programs flawlessly. It also has 'limited' camcorder abilities if you purchase the larger memory cards, my children really like this feature for sending silly movies to the grandparents. All in all an excellant step up from a beginning camera, but less involved then my complicated Nikon professional equipment (which was at least ten times the price of the this camera). Remember to take the batteries out when you aren't going to use it for more than a few hours, or it will drain them. Additionally, the 'camcorder' feature will also eat batteries faster than my SUV sucks gas.
