I have owned this camera for a few weeks now and it is above average for the price .

 I wanted a point and shoot around $100 that would provide decent photos primarily using the Auto setting . In addition, this camera has image stabilization so no blurry shots, face detection, red eye removal and lots more that are usually only found on pricier cameras .

It has 8.1 megapixels and a 2.5 LCD screen -decent . The onyl flaws are the LCD screen is hard to see while taking shots in bright sun - a viewfinder would have been nice . Also, if your batteries are low ( rechargeables are a MUST ) , the lens sometimes has gotten stuck and will not retract. I had to power off , remove the batteries ,replace and power back on.  I did return the first one for that reason and bought the extended warranty but later read about the issue and the fix online . Overall, the pictures are nice and clean , no graininess and fairly simple to use .

Great review, I also returned first one. Thanks for the tip on how to fix next time. I use lithium batteries, work great & last long time. I accidentally formatted sd card while walking & carrying it & lost all pictures. Not sure how. Be sure to download pics regularly. Thanks!
