5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera once you get rechargable batteries, December 21, 2005

The camera takes very clear photos. It is very simple to use and takes no time to learn. However, the battery life with alkaline batteries is the worst I've ever seen, only about 15 - 20 photos when you use the flash. However, once I changed to Sony 2500 MaH rechargable NiMH batteries, I can take over 80 photos! Make sure to spend the extra money and purchase the 2500 MaH batteries and charger. It charges in 15 minutes as opposed to hours.

2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for the red eye!, January 1, 2006

This is an ok camera, definetly a good deal money wise. The only problem I have with it is that the red eye in the pictures is HORRIBLE. It cannot be removed on half of the pictures. It does have a red eye reduction built into the camera, but I find that it takes to long to take the picture that way, and the multiple flashes for it is confusing, most people turn away thinking the picture is over before it actually is. I find it easier to just take the picture normally and fix the red eye on the computer. However, on more that half of the pictures I have taken with this camera, I cannot fix the red eye. The eyes either stay red, turn yellow/green, or turn a weird mixture of grey and who knows what else. It is the same no matter which program I try and I have tried about 6 or 7 different ones. I have never had this problem with any other digital camera.

Watch out for the red eye with this camera! If it doesn't bother you than buy this camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!, December 27, 2005

I got this camera as a gift and I love it. It cost under $100 and is by-far worth it. As stated by a previous rewiew, the image does move around a lot when trying to focus, however every single pic i have taken has been crystal clear...even if the image on the screen was not at the time i took the pic. I am going to have to invest in some rechargable batteries, becuase it eats through them, but that is the only drawback i have foud yet. Deffinately reccomend. I also picked up a 256mb memory card, and reccomend that as well, i can get nearly 300 pics on it. Love it!
