I have had it for approximately 6 months, and after very light use, I can’t get it the power to stay on sometimes, no matter how fresh my batteries are, and the pictures are of terrible quality (not always a problem mind you, just one day the pictures started to come out horrible no matter what setting it is on). I found the fact that it could take video pretty neat, but the quality is so bad the videos just annoyed me. It really is just junk, invest a few more dollars into something better.

This one has white plastic body, unlike silver one in poto above.

Digi zoom produces rather poor results.

I thought that the quite plasticky example on the shelf in store was a dummy, but it is actually as nasty in real life.

Shots outside in bright sunlight produce good results.

Cames with 2x AA * Duracell * batteries in the box.

On reformatting the internal memory the shot counter/namer seems to reset also.
Internal memory can hold 6 or so shots in top resolution/quality setting, goe without saying that a SD card is a must to buy with this camera.

Takes good pictures ? Mmmm…..Tori perhaps should have gone to specsavers :-)

Fine for the price point, but if you can afford it, spend more to get a better quality one.

Perfect if you want a little snappy that takes good picture with no fuss!
