Good but can be better

( - 12/9/05)

I have taken this camera for use on 3 different trips around the country & one Down Under (both Australia & New Zealand) plus numerous family get-together occasions. Over 2,000 pix were taken & developed. I love its compact size & ease of use, with the following observation: 1) there are problems with red eyes, requiring lots of time spent on software fixing the problem; 2) the pictures tend to be a bit dark, again, requiring time for repair; 3) somewhat disappointing in that the pictures are not as crispy & sharp as I had expected.
