Good camera with nice manual control
2008-05-12I've owned this camera for over 5 years and have not had any problems. I am, actually, ready to buy some lenses for it. If I had to have one complaint it would be my general complaint for all small, point and shoots. It is hard to stabalize a shot. Most photos look blurry. But, this has great manual controls making it more than just a typical point and shoot.

DO. NOT. BUY.
2007-02-19This camera has a chronic flaw: The zoom becomes stuck. Search the web for the name of the camera followed by "zoom stuck" and read the misery. A few fixes have been suggested, but those apparently don't work for most people. Essentially, if the camera isn't under warranty, it becomes worthless. I just tossed mine in the trash after trying the fixes to no avail and being advised that the cost to fix it will be much more than it's value.
We had used this camera very gently for its short, short life; basically a disposable camera.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes.
