Very Very Very bad picture quality, the images are vague and not clear. slow using

Pros: small, compact, various options

Cons: the images turn out to be very unclear and of bad quality. this is, in my opnion, the most important feature of a camera!!

Biggest drawback with this camera is the lack of a viewfinder. It is sometimes very difficult to see the object on the screen with the result that you have to guess. Very slow when going from one shot in memory to the next.

Pros: Relatively cheap. Very small. Large screen. Acceptable picture quality. Battery lasts a long time.

Cons: no viewfinder.

This is a great little camera at a very low price ($114 at WalMart). We already had the memory card. We have no problem getting great shots with this camera, especially since it has image stabilization or "anti-blur". Colors are clean and sharp both inside and out, flash and without flash. This is a quality camera that's easy to use, attractive, works very well, and is small enough I can keep it in a clip-on cell phone case.

Pros: See everything above.

Cons: Only gave it a 9 out of 10 because nothing's perfect. But this little camera is very close.

Took it back to the store

Pros: Fairly easy to use

Cons: Picture quality is probably the worst I've seen.
xD card is senseless and hard to find in a small size.
Bundled software is poor.

I just bought this yesterday and i think its amazing. I am going to disney for a week and was having trouble finding a good camera that wasnt crazy expensive (cost 150), took good pictures, took good video clips (can record up to an hour of video on a 1GB), was stylish, and didnt feel cheap when holding it. But with this camera i found everything i was looking for. And they sell extra rechargable batteries which is great because we are going to be in the disney parks for hours so its cool to be able to have some extra already charged batteries in my bag that i can pop in if i start running out of juice to continue the image taking fun lol.

Pros: durable, great quality settings, very clear pics, good zoom for the price, and love the color!

Cons: takes xd cards instead of sd cards. Which really isnt a problem because you can still print out pictures with no problem on your computer or at a cvs or walmart. But they do cost about 5 dollars more than the sd cards. But if thats the price i have to pay to have a camera that has everything im looking for ill gladly pay the 5 bucks

Very poor. This is my 4th digital camera and by far the worst. Poor image quality is my main complaint - not sharp. Also red-eye control has to be turned on every time you want to take a flash shot.

Pros: Compact.

Cons: Poor image quality, slow to boot up everything else said above.
