Advantages: simple to use, take good pics

Disadvantages: fixed lense

This is a good digital camera. It is a point-n-shoot camera in the same lines as the Olympus 35mm Mju-II. It is 2-megapixel camera giving you the ability to print pictures up to 8x10. For someone who doesn't really want to play around with settings, the camera takes most pictures well on Auto. Occasionally, usually indoors you might have to tweak the settings a little to give a better picture like Force Flash, or exposure compensation. The great thing about this camera, and all digital camera is that you can delete any pictures that didn't turn out too well! Also if the pictures don't come out the way you want it, you can always photo edit it with a program like Photoshop or Paint shop pro.

A thing to note. Because the camera has a fixed wide angle lense, taking closeups can often result in a picture with some barrel distortion. So, if you want to tak lots of close-ups, but a camera with a zoom lense (the zoom lens will compensate for barrel distortion).

Also, buy Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Preferably 2 pairs.

And, since the Smart Media cards are cheap, buy a 64MB one when you have the chance. I bought one at dabs.com.

And another thing, the picture quality at the best setting and normal setting, for a normal user (like me), is difficult to tell apart. So, the 16MB card which comes with the camera should be sufficient for 30 or so pics at the normal setting and should be enough for an outing, say to the sea side.
