If You're Thinking About Buying One...

Battery life sucks! I started to use rechargable NiMH 1.2V 2000 mAh batteries, and camera stays powered for much longer. Camera seems to have problems interpreting colors correctly as its life goes on. Takes the best pictures on "landscape" or "close-up" mode. Video mode sucks. My camera has not died on me yet, but has "shut off" due to low batttery power. The new batteries helped that problem a lot. I've dropped this camera several times, and frankly, I'm shocked it hasn't died yet, especially reading these other reviews. However, I think that I could've gotten a better camera for $300.00.
