Great for Its Time

When I got this camera in late 2002 it was the only 3 + megapixel cameras with 6x optical. Daylight pictures were great and color resolution were spot on. No cameras in this price range including canon and nikon could touch this camera! It still takes great pictures after 3 years. The eye piece came in handy for very bright scenes and saves battery life in general and much more accurate than other view finders on other cameras. The bad is that it only has 1 film speed iso 100 and shutter lag was intolerable approx .3 to .5 seconds. That is really slow. Night long shots are only great if you rest the camera on something and use the timer, but it will give you a great night shoot! :-) Other than that this camera takes very crisp shots.
