I have owned this super little digi-cam for a few years now and have been extremely pleased with the pictures it takes.

Because you can vary the quality of each picture - obviously the higher quality the pic the more memory it occupies - you can be sure that when you upload to the internet or to a photo program you won't end up with highly pixelated or blurry results.

It is a lightweight little camera, extremely easy to use - all the functions work on a staged basis with a very visible menu on-screen so that nothing is left to happenstance. It also, crucially, will double-check you if you are about to erase a single pic or the entire memory card.

New cards are relatively inexpensive so it is probably helpful to upgrade from that installed in the camera so that you aren't constantly having to upload/review/delete pics taken.

Batteries are rechargeable and a full charge actually lasts for quite a long time. You can opt-in to flash, to portrait and other functions to make your pictures better - but if you don't want to bother or find that too complicated just point/click and let the camera do its best for you - it really is that good!

Once you have taken your pics there is a cable to connect the digi-cam to your pc and it is super easy to upload - the pc merely identifies the digi-cam as an additional drive so you just find the pics you want to upload in the same way as you would look for any file in a folder.

All in all this is great value for money and its ease of use makes it perfect for all ages (the young and the very old!).
