When i bought this camera, i was a little doubtful as to whether it was really worth it - my old Vivitar camera worked fine and I'd just spent money on something to replace a still-working item. However, that all changed when I tried it out.

It has a 8.2 megapixel lens on it - it wasn't the best in the market but it certainly exceeded my old 3.2MP Vivitar. Taking pictures was a doddle - tap the button to focus, press it hard to take a photo. The flash was also a welcome addition - certainly made night photos a lot easier to manage. I was also glad that they had stuck with batteries instead of going for a rechargeable one - far easier to replace in a hurry. I never used the bundled software - it seems far easier to just use a SD to USB converter than load up some software.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Probably, although there are better cameras available for the same price now.
