The display name of this product is quite deceptive. This camera really only has 3.1 Megapixels (2048 x1536 Pixels) that is interpolated up to 6.0. And, even if they try to call it a "4x Smart Zoom", it is just a digital zoom, resulting in further interpolation if you zoom in. You are *FAR* better off buying a 3 Megapixel digital camera, in the same price range, from Kodak, Canon, Olympus, Fuji, etc.

My girlfriend bought this camera shortly before Christmas and ended up returning it. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it is NOT actually a 6 MP camera - resolution, even on the best setting, is iffy. Also, the on/off button didn't always work, leading to some frustrating delays in taking a picture. Lastly, after taking a picture, it doesn't show up on the camera's screen. This requires pressing a button to get to another menu and, of course, for whatever reason this button didn't respond until about thirty seconds after the picture was taking. Bottom line - stay far away from this camera.

This is a junky toy camera. Never buy an "interpolated" digital camera, if you want to blow up your pictures at the cost of quality, you can just increase their size on your computer with any software.
