Excellent Starter Camera
( - 5/2/05)This camera is one of my better investments in the past short while... I bought it because I wanted to be able to take pictures, and I liked it enough that I'm now thoroughly interested in photography. Also takes extremely good pictures, although I had to acquire a 552mb memory card first. Still, it's an excellent camera, and if you've even got decently sized pockets you can easily lug it around with you wherever you go.
However, being that I AM getting more into photography, it is a bit disappointing that it doesn't have all the focusing ability I'd like it to have. It doesn't fare all that well in the extreme close-ups. Does balance the brightness excellently. Don't think you'll be getting any shots right at the sun... unless it's setting, it'll overwhelm the camera and may well ruin a picture of some excellent sunbeams (a problem I have far too often).
As for it breaking easily, well, being a clumsy teenager I've dropped it off of my friend's roof... granted, it landed on the grass, but it remains in the same condition it was when I got it, with a few added scratches. Definitely a durable product, which is excellent.
I'd recommend this camera to almost anyone who wants to just be able to take pictures where ever. Small, easy to use, and extremely good for what you're paying, this product is definitely top notch.
