Unless you're a professional photographer, you probably wouldn't want to carry an expensive camera with you on a daily basis. This is a great little camera to carry around 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's comfortable in your pocket while the lens stays under its protective cover. Dead batteries? pop in new AAA's. The 16MB internal memory will probably be enough to get you through a day of casual snapshots, even though you could expand it. Finally, if you lose or break the camera, you're out less than $100.

Yes, let's be honest, the picture quality sucks compared to a higher-end digicam, so by no means should this be your only camera. But this little guy will be there for you when you wouldn't otherwise have a camera on you, and a so-so picture is better than none at all.

I purchased this camera because I thought it really was going to give me good pictures (I thought being a 5.0 MP camara was going to be good and enought) but the reallity is that this camara is limited and pictures are not of good quality. Even if you use the "fine" option your pictures are always dark and blur. I waste my money on this. I sincerely recommend you not to buy it. I don't know why other people have given a 5-star rating.

Pocket-sized cameras are usually valued for their size rather than the quality of the images they produce. But we weren't satisfied with that. We want size AND quality; and luckily, digital camera market leaders Mustek wanted the same thing, and produced the incredibly nifty D50. Although it measures just 8 x 3.5cm, the D50 offers the kind of image resolution that puts many more expensive models to shame - a superb 5 Megapixels!

The D50 is the perfect choice if you want to take the highest quality still images, but don't want to pay extra for a large range of features you might not use. That's not to say the D50 doesn't have any special features; far from it. It features a video recorder option, and has a built-in microphone and digital voice recorder for adding your own soundtrack. You can even use it as a web cam. Enjoy key features without being blinded by science.

The D50's top quality resolution and built-in flash produces fantastically crisp and clear shots, but you can still tweak them to suit your needs. The D50 features a macro mode for stunning close-ups, plus 4 x digital zoom. You can also choose between three levels of resolution, or shoot yourself, so to speak, thanks to the built-in self-timer. You can even view and edit your shots on the D50's built-in 1.5" LDC screen!

With the 16MB onboard memory, you can store upwards of 200 lo-res images, but the D50 is SD and MMC card compatible if you want to store more hi-res images or video footage. Stylishly designed and small enough to fit in a breast pocket, there's never been a better pocket camera for top class shots
