You WILL NOT win a photography contest with this camera.  Simply, it serves as a good little workhorse for your online auction pictures.  It's easy enough to use, but not easy to get used to.  The buttons are a bit small, and the LCD seems quite dark.  I haven't noticed much of a difference with lighting when using a flash as opposed to no flash.  It may require additional lighting or backdrops to get a good picture.

 I did, however, like the price.  This camera has been around a while, and you can get it from distributors at a heavy discount these days.  That's precisely why I went shopping...
