Advantages: Size, Price, Ease of Use

Disadvantages: Picture Quality, No case supplied

Just got one of these, and have to say I'm mightily impressed.

I'd spent a few days looking round the web for opinions and reviews, and came to the conclusion that 75+% were positive, and the few that were negative didn't understand the thinking behind the camera.

My 'real' camera is an Olympus E10 - big, bulky and gives excellent professional results. The Blink is small enough to be with me constantly, and is unobtrusive enough to allow use where the Olympus would mark me as a target. Ok, so its 'just a toy', but fun enough not to put down after a week or so.

For:
Size, size and size!
Quality of software bundle
Ease of use
Value for money
Fun!

Against:
Picture quality is dependent upon adequate light levels.
Can't handle contrast too well (try taking a shot of a white object against a black background).
Not a professional camera (but at this price who'd expect it?)
No case supplied (but I'll get a coin purse to hold it in)

Overall, I can't recommend this camera enough. Understand its limitations, and you'll feel the same.
