    Good camera for a low price
    rating

    I've had this camera for two weeks, and I'm almost completely satisfied.
    Good:
    Easy to use for basic point-and-shoot pictures and zooming
    Quick to turn on
    Picture quality is good

    Not so good:
    Several of our outdoor zoomed pictures had a noticable streak/lens flare if the camera was pointed in the same general direction as the sun.
    As with most digital cameras, the instructions are skimpy and the features are indicated by cryptic little icons.
    The screen seems fragile, although nothing has damaged it yet. Maybe not a problem.

    Overall, not perfect, but quite worth the price.

    Well...

    This camera takes GORGEOUS pictures, however, the battery life REALLY SUCKS!!! I bought the camera as a gift and my mom loves it, however, she says, "I have to carry about 50 batteries when I go out". That part of it is sad...however, the pictures come out amazing!!!

    So far, we're happy with this camera. It does not come with a card, so be prepared for that.
    It is small and has a handy little carrying case; more lightweight than our previous Canons.
    And the pictures have been fine.
