Nice pics, no battery drain.

What are you people talking about. I have taken hundreds of pics with this camera. I purchased a 256mb card for it and am camera happy. I live in sunny CA so I never have to worry about taking the camera out in freezing temps. A lot probably has to do with the shipping and handling. Do you know how well your camera was treated during shipping, NO. My only problem is the delay in between pics. I have lost a few good pics cause of that. Once in a blue moon I have to turn it back off because it does not turn on correctly. Aside from everything it is a great first camera. I just purchased a Kodak Z760, that camera is lightweight and takes pics a little faster than this camera. Both are nice though.
