A lot of bang for your buck.

simple is good, Not technically savvy, value conscious, a comparison shopper, love to take nature shots

Pros

Small, easy to carry, Uses AA batteries, 4x Zoom, 7.1 Megapixels, Easy to use

Cons

So many functions, Setting options difficult for novice

NOV

2007

This is a pretty inexpensive camera as far as digital cameras go. There are a lot of features on this camera and it fits snugly in my purse.

You can use the view screen or a traditional camera viewfinder to locate your target. The lens allows you to zoom in on what you want to photograph.

The camera has internal memory, as well as the included removable memory chip. This allows you to take the chip to a store like Walmart and have the photos printed.

The most important thing about this camera is that it takes good photos.
