Advantages: Price, ease of use, flexability

Disadvantages: Batteries, speed, On button

Great resolution. Good picture quality. Easy to use camera, but sooooo slow! Admittedly I always use it on the highest resolution setting, but it must take between 20 and 30 seconds to process the picture onto the memory card. This seriously limits the number of pictures you can take in a short period of time.

The other disadvantages are of varying seriousness. The main design flaw is the Rec/Off/Play wheel. This is too easy to turn and can easily turn the camera on in a bag with the result that the batteries are completely flat by the time you come to use it. I use blutack as my solution of choice!

It can only accept up to 8MB cards and no where in the documentation does it tell you the voltage or polarity of the mains socket.

The software supplied is good and generally using the camera is a pleasure.
