Advantages: Picture Quality

Disadvantages: Slow Shutter Speed, Nighttime Shots

The main thing that attracted me to this camera was the pixel count. Unfortunatly, a year or more on, I am still a little disappointed. I have taken many great photographs with it, however, I feel it has taken too much effort.

The shutter speed is disappointingly slow - too bad if you see something interesting flying past and want to photograph it - you'll be unable to! Non-flash nighttime shots are also poor, unless you set it to low quality or use a tripod. The amount of times I have been in a foreign city with lots of lights and been frustrated at being unable to take a decent picture!

I think there are better cameras out there for the price. 8+ pixel cameras are coming down now in price, so there is no real reason to get this one.

Summary: Too much effort to get decent photographs!
