4.0 out of 5 stars I'm happy, June 4, 2005

I use it for backpacking and camping trips in the Pacific Northwest. I'm not a photo nut, just in it for the memories. I needed something light for backpacking and cheap incase the thing gets destroyed along the way. It has all the features I need and then some. It's light, compact and the weather resistance is a great plus. I took it out to Glacier National Park with a 256MB and it worked out great. Worked well in most lighting conditions. Got some great sunset shots. All in all, very happy with it for the $149 I paid.

4.0 out of 5 stars this camera rocks!, September 5, 2005

i purchased this camera for myself, as i love digital photography. photoshop can do wonders. anyway, i take this camera everywhere i go and take pictures of random things, and play around with them on photoshop. this camera produces pictures at the perfect size i need. the LCD screen is just the right size and the buttons are not too small. the memory on it is horrible. it hardly holds any pictures. i recommend a memory card with about 52mb for a reasonable price. this camera is a great buy for not a lot of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible on batteries, works when it wants to, November 26, 2005

I got this camera as an early birthday present. Less than one week later I had to return it. First the camera turns on by sliding a door that covers the lens over. This mechanism works only when it wants to. Half the time you can't even get the camera to turn on.
When it's on it immediately drains the batteries. I changed the batteries twice in three days.
Somewhere around the 6 day mark the camera just stopped working completely.
In addition the software takes forever to download and ended up corrupting many of my files during the installation process. The pics are ok at best. They are pretty sharp if you're just going to email pics but if you're going to actually be printing them out, the quality is subpar.
Overall a horribly disappointing experience and a waste of money. I have since exchanged the camera for another brand altogether and I am much happier.
