My camera is less than a year old and already malfunctioning. The "hideaway" flash is jammed and there is debris on the inside on the viewfinder. The clarity is not as crisp as I had hoped and it often focuses on the wrong objects in the frame. Also, the "panoramic" photos come back developed as a regular sized picture with black bars on the top and bottom. (Getting true panoramic shots requires that the be blown up, further decreasing the clarity.) I would opt for a different camera.

I purchased this camera without testing it first or testing other similar cameras, basically purchased it for the price and small size. I take lots of indoor pictures and the flash recycling time was about 6-7 seconds. (cannon similar camara had 4 sec and olympus has a 0.5-4 sec) I kept missing shots due to the waiting time. I also had to scooch back a few times to take pictures because the camera won't focus at close distances (didn't have trouble with the olympus stylus) Also, it was a little difficult to see through such a small viewfinder.

This camera has a lot of features and has taken some of the best photographs I have ever seen for a camera of this price. One of the features even allowed me to photograph aurora bourealis in amazing detail with a 30 second open shutter! We've not experienced problems such as flash regeneration. With good batteries the flash regenerates in about 3 seconds sometimes it even seems faster. For panoramic pictures, we have received decent pictures (this camera does not take true panoramic pictures), but we do have to tell the film developer that panoramic pictures are included on the roll we are developing or else they are not treated as such and we get regular sized pictures back with the black lines on top and bottom of pictures.

This camera is great for the point and shoot people out there. It will not let you take bad pictures. Some of the photos I have taken with this camera have been surprisingly good, one would have thought that it was taken with an S.L.R.

Oh I lost my shirt on this one and a roll of film motor burnt out in the rewinder and the lens, so I smacked it up with a hammer and threw it away.
