Not so good after all

(Charles - 12/6/06)

I'm really desappointed by that camera; it has a good advantage: it is small, it can fit in your pocket and you can take it anywhere, but the big disadvantage is that it is definitely too small at the time to take pictures, the screen gives you a wrong idea of the final picture.
The battery is also a problem, it doesn't last long most of all if you use the flash. It is also too slow to start and if there is a picture on the go to be taken, well it is gone before the camera starts. It doesn't like 2GB SD cards. It cannot format it and it takes actually then 20 seconds to turn on. So in the end, don't buy it
