Excellent Budget Buy
I wanted a cheap and good camera that has the abilities to shoot photos and do a good job at shooting short videos. The battery cage is a but fiddly. They just don't tell you that regular batteries don't do the trick. Consider going to Radio Shack and buying a 4AA battery charger. I can shoot up to 40 pictures with 2AA rechargeable batteries. Walgreen's Ultra Alkaline SuperCell also work best when in a pinch!The best part about it is that fact that it is almost pocketable and so easy to use with...

Real bad first experience
I chose this camera as a reward for 25 years with my company. ARGH, I've all kinds of trouble with the battery and power indicator. The first batteries lasted about 5 shots. The ones that came with the camera lasted longer. About the 3rd shot with the original batteries the camera battery light was flashing red. I flipped the battery door open ripped the batteries out, put them back in and it said 2/3 strength again. Last night I had 2/3 of a battery, tried to take a shot and it just died. The screen...

Whatever You Do, Avoid This Steaming Pile Of Poo
I just recieved this camera less than 24 hours ago and it has already bit the dust. After the batteries slowly died this morning, I replaced them and took a picture.

After several attempts at reviving it, I pronounced it dead and was looking forward to returning it for a better quality camera. I am hoping to get my money back and buy a Panasonic Lumix® Digital Camera since it seems to take great pictures and was given great...

You get what you pay for..
I wanted to chime in about this camera.I bought mine back in July and have had some of the problems mentioned here, namely the short battery life and the blurry pictures.I dont really understand what happened with the camera the first time I put the batteries in, but as mentioned here, they only lasted about 10 pictures, it was absurd.I think the batteries were bad, because once I put my rechargable ones in, the performance has been average.It does take more juice the higher quality pictures you...

returned it
I had this camera for approx. 25 days before I gave up on it.The worst problem was the inability to focus when lighting was the slightest bit dim.I stubbornly refused to believe this camera was so bad thinking I was doing something wrong.Thank goodness for Amazon's return policy.Now I have a Canon A610 and absolutely love it....
