I'm reading some of the reviews, and I just don't get it. First it does come with batteries. It also does have a place for extended memory which I highly recommend. I purchased a 512MB for $20.00. I mean I don't know anybody that only keeps the internal memeory. Most only have about 32MB, and that's not enough for any camera. The only thing missing is a flash, which is included in the 8200, but the megapixels is only 3.0 compared to the 5200's 5.4. Fot the small price and nice specs you can't go wrong otherwise just spend 2,3 hundred and get something better. You get what you pay for. Pay $20,000 and buy a Hyundai or pay $60,000 and buy a Mercedes. Both will get you around town. This is a great little item, but it's not a $300.00 camera.

I am fifteen and I do a lot of traveling around the country. I thought it would be fun to take around a camera that was sturdy and not too expensive to record all the interesting and fun things that happen when I travel. I decided to try this product out and I love it!
It doesn't have much memory on its own, so I bought a 128 MB memory card for $13.00, which holds over 200 pictures at a time and over 2 hours of video memory. That's enough for me. You can get memory cards for a good price that hold twice that, too.
The picture is also pretty sharp. The camera doesn't have a flash, though. With a normal houselight the picture usually is a bit yellowish, but not too much. The pictures are great outdoors.
The only downside that really bothers me is the fact that it eats up the batteries so quickly, and the batteries are not rechargeable... just normal AA batteries. So I will have to keep a pack of extra batteries in my purse, just in case.
I read that some people don't like how small the LCD screen is, but I think it's just fine. It's enough to see what you're filming and it's really sharp so it gets details well.
I wouldn't get this camera if it was going to be the family camera. I think it's more just for personal, everyday use. When you upload the movies to the computer, they are in WMA format, which works with Windows Movie Maker and is easy to upload onto the net.
Overall, I think this is a great, handy, well-built camera for an awesome price!

It doesn't have much memory or a place to increase the memory but my niece is having a blast with this camera. She loves the special effects and it's very user friendly. I think she was able to navigate all features in under a day and she's 13. Not high quality but definitely a good price in comparison to the other brand name youth camera's out this year, ie Barbie, Video Now, etc.
