The pictures it takes are of excellent quality, and are not at all grainy like you get with some of the cheaper cameras on the market. The camera is easy to use with a simple wheel changing the mode depending on the situation you are taking the picture in. My biggest problem though is the battery. It takes 2 AA batteries and can barely las...more

I have had this camera for around 3 years now so i think the time has come to write down what i think about it! By todays standards, the specifications are not that amazing.
