Advantages: Cheap, Small, Easy to use

Disadvantages: No Preview screen

This is a great little camera for taking fun snapshots. When you get the right lighting conditions it takes nice crisp, clear shots which look best when re-sampled by 50% down to 320 x 240 pixels. It has 4MB internal memory which can hold either:

- 128 High Quality Photos
(640 x 480 pixels)
- 199 Web Quality Photos
(320 x 240 pixels)
- 126 Burst Captures @ 5 FPS
(that's 630 images!)
- About 20 Video Clips (ten seconds long .avi format)

or a mixture of all of the above
The camera is so simple to use - just turn it on and start shooting! Pressing mode scrolls through the 5 different modes: High Quality > Web Quality > High Quality Self Timer > Burst Capture (take 5 shots in 1 second) > Video Capture

When connected to a PC you can download all your images and videos, use it as a WebCam or capture live images previewed on screen. The focus ring can be adjusted in order to focus on close ups.

The focus ring must be reset to infinity when detached from the PC otherwise it won't take any photos - you just get an error beep. This is a failsafe way to prevent you from unwittingly taking all of your photos completely out of focus because there is no preview facility on this camera.
