i bought this camera in pink as a replacement for the 4 previous cameras that have not survived long in my hands. i was not expecting much of this one either, but you can pick one up at a very good price from various places.
I have now had this camera a year, and it has survived drinks being split all over it, repeatedly being dropped, two holidays and various other mishaps.
I am incredibly impressed with the picture quality that comes from this camera, produces some beautiful photos (and girls, makes your skin look incredible! even after a long night out...)
it has a lot of different settings to apply that can even increase and adapt the quality of photos to the lighting in the room, but even with it just on the 'auto' setting it takes excellent pictures.
it is VERY easy to use, with minimal buttons, the only problem i have found is that if your not used to the camera the video button is right next to the take a picture button, so when someone else is taking a photo it can result in a video. and that is literally the only problem i have found with it!
all in all, i would DEFINATELY recommend this camera.
