1 Pleasure to Use
This camera is very lite in weight and easy to use. I own 3 digital camera's besides this one and I carry this one when I'm prospecting and mining. It has taken a beating and has not failed once. I would recommend this camera as a general all purpose camera.
2 Great 4mp camera
I know several people who've said that this camera eats batteries, but I've not had that experience. It will take up to a 512mb SD card and has a built-in 16mb memory chip that gets you 4 pictures in a pinch. The LCD is bright and easy to use. The camera has the standard Vivitar feature of the lens pushing out when you turn on the camera. The quality of the prints is fine as long as you're doing 8x10's or smaller. If you're using the flash in a really dark place, you will only have enough light for close up photos. If you're doing more than that, you're using the wrong camera - or get a slave flash. I got this at woot.com for $100, but even at $200, it's a pretty good value.
3 Very nice Digital Camera/MovieCam
This thing rocks, it will do 0.3, 1.2, 2.0, and 4.0MP with three settings for each MP setting (Econamy, Normal,and Fine) and a view finder that zooms in at 3 power, then once you take a picture you can zoom in at 1.33 to 6 power on the 1.5" TFT LCD 24bit display, WoW!!!
It will also do Movies, and comes with the cable that plugs into the back of the TV or DVD player to show the movies or pics on the TV. It also comes with it's own USB cable.
Just one thing that is a little upsetting, is the fact that most all the manufactures of digital cameras never give you batterys that last for more than Ten minutes. You will need to get a pair of CR-V3 rechargeables if you use it a lot as I do.
Other than that this little Digital Camera/Movie maker is Very Nice.

4 Poor picture
Takes poor quality picture. Pictures are always very noisy! Even lowering ISO setting didn't help. I didn't expect such poor quality picture from a 4 MP camera! I am returning mine.
5 Excellent Camera
This little camera is the best dollar for dollar digital camera out there. I was a little sceptical at first but after using this camera I can tell you that I was very impressed. I give it a solid 5 out of 5.
6 Cheap price, poor performance
Takes poor pictures both in bright light and low light conditions when using default settings. Any custom settings are lost any time the camera is turned off, so it is impractical to use them. It would take a few minutes to get the camera ready, and you would miss the shot. Not even the flash setting saves.
I am returning mine. I would prefer a 3 Megapixel camera of higher quality to meet this price point.
