Advantages: Cheap, LCD preview screen, Webcam facility

Disadvantages: Picture quality not great, Flash too weak, Poor build quality

I bought this camera after giving my Fuji Axia 100 1.3 MP camera to my mom. I bought it for £70 from Dixons. From the very first snap in the evening light, I quite not liked the picture quality of this camera. The pictures were bit grainy to start with. But with tight budget that time, I decided to carry on with it. That was my first camera with LCD screen, so was not sure how good LCD display looks like. But having LCD display for that cost (well £70 for that camera was cheap in 2003) was added bonus. The daylight snaps were quite okay, but camera was useless for indoor snaps. The flash was too weak to get any descent picture. As 001maz mentioned earlier, the battery life was not very good either.
It had webcam functionality, which was helpful. The picture transfer was not a problem. and I took lot of memorable photos using this camera.
The build quality was not too good, and battery compartment door got bit loose and resulted in loosing battery connection and accidental power-off the camera. So I decided to move on and purchased proper 5 mp Canon A95.

Summary: This is basic camera for normal sunny day snaps, but not suitable for indoor photography
