I've only had this camera for about a week, and I think it's a great little camera. Compact yet clear video. I haven't used all its functions yet, but I mostly bought it for the video feature to capture the little moments of my children's lives. There is a lag when taking photos. It doesn't do well with fast moving kids. They need to be perfectly still for a few seconds and you need to have a very steady hand to take the photo.

I do like the image stabilization feature, but the downside to that is you can't use zoom in that mode. Bummer. **EDIT** I must have done something wrong when I first tried it, but the zoom does work with the image stabilization on.

Also, I noticed that the battery got really warm after about 15 minutes of continuous use. I don't know if that's normal, but I'll see how that goes when I take a continuous video for over an hour. I bought a 4GB SD memory card to record more than the internal memory allows.

Overall, it's a great product for the price I paid. So compact and easy to take with you anywhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so great, December 27, 2008

The video this shoots is of fair quality, however the photos leave something to be desired. Every picture I take is hazy and the colors muted. My cheap digital camera takes better pictures than this one and it was half the cost.

It starts out seeming like a great camera for a great price. But for whatever reason the video format that it uses doesn't always work when you're trying to play it on the computer (and maybe even elsewhere). The photos seem fine at first but you end up wanting more in the end. You'll never want to use the mp3 player after trying it once.

Don't even bother with this camera. I'm sure you can either get a better one for the same price or pay a little bit extra and have some peace of mind. It will seem like it's great at first but you will be more than disappointed after some time.
