I Got this camera last week, ...
what makes this camera distinctive is it's touch and very sharp LCD , brilliant body design and slim size, it comes with rechargeable battery which saves batteries drain. it's very easy to operate even from first time, resolution of this camera is minimum requirement for you needs. Only movie mode is not available in it which is the only the drawback I found.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter Camera, July 16, 2003

This is a good Camera if you just want point and click. No having to worry about file formats (only does jpg) and focusing .If you need to do things manualy buy another camera. The LCD is easy to use and the internal battery is nice touch since you don't have to buy batteries. The main drawback is if you forget to charge it you can't just buy batteries. The software is easy to use both on the camera and supplied for the pc. It also supports a sd card which is really nice as well. Like I said before this camera is for those of us who just want to take quick pictures when were out without much hassle.Overall I am happy because that is all I want out of a camera. Much better then buying disposables or a cheap 35mm camera.

I actually purchased this camera while I was vacationing in Hong Kong in early 2002. The touch screen is a nice bonus, but it has done surprisingly nice 4x6 and 8x10 prints from my Epson (Stylus740) printer without "pixelating" or grainy distortion. I am printing on Epson photo paper. The main problem I've started to have is the flash gets stuck when popping open for shooting. Not a major killer, as I've taken this camera to HI, AK, and too many parties and last minute "crazy airfare deals" to remember. I've tried the camera in all three ISO modes, got some stunning Alaska wilderness pictures in Sepia and B&W color modes, and have taken most of my shots with "High Quality" picture mode. I've had to replace the battery once so far, and have been able to get more than 300 shots on a 256MB SD card.
The outside case has held up fairly well over the years. The chrome plastic lens cover that slides out of the way has taken a minor share of scratches. I've never used the accompanying soft case for this camera, preferring to just "coat pocket it" when necessary.
Overall this has been a great lightweight, point-and-shoot camera. People are surprised to see me pressing on the screen and tweaking the settings while setting up a shot or 3 clicks to force a flash when taking sunset subject shots. It continues to serve me well even with the addition of a 12x Panasonic DMC Leica digital for close-up wildlife shots. When it comes to pictures of the family, it will definitely be the one for getting the quick shots in.
