Summary: Still going strong after 3 years of use
Comment: Love this camera. It is my first digital camera and my first point and shoot.
The picture quality is great. Although you can now buy P&S cameras with better picture quality I'm still amazed at how good my pictures look, especially compared with the old SLR film camera that I used for years.
After three years of using auto mode I'm now learning about aperture and film speed and shutter speed - all of which can be controlled using Av, Tv and other such settings. I'm also starting to get very creative with the kinds of shots I take. This camera seems to be the perfect little tool for my small photo projects and combined with a bit of Photoshop I'm beginning to create some very nice arty photographs.
Highly recommended.

Summary: User friendly. Great pictures. Overall a really good camera.
Comment: I have had this camera for more than two years and had absolutely no problems with the camera ITSELF. Sure, the extra battery charger that we bought for our rechargeable batteries failed on us, but that ultimately has nothing to do with the camera itself.
The only con I seem to find for this camera is that it is fairly bulky and heavy. I bought a soft case, so that decreased the problem dramatically, but I still felt like it should be lighter.
Anyways...to the pro's. Extremely user friendly. Easy to get around inside the camera and find the tricks of the trade. The quality of the pictures is really good as you can see the crispness and details of the face.
A great and perfect camera for the typical family/person who isnt interested in taking professional photos that will sell for thousands of dollars. A great point and shoot for the value.
Remember to buy separate rechargeable batteries and a much larger CF card. 256 MB was fine for me, but you can always get a 512. Anything bigger than that is not worth it unless you plan on taking thousands of photos.
Respect and care for the camera and it will respect you back with quality photos in a WORKING conditiong.

Summary: Works great - Until it dies...
Comment: Good pictures, easy to use... until it just won't work anymore. After about 10 months of frequent use, the display would periodically get "grainy" and have lines and then finally the power on & off became very sporadic. When we researched the problem on-line, we found that it had been recalled due to a piece malfunction. We turned it in for repairs we were told that the problems weren't due to the recall and we'd need to pay over $100 to repair it. Since we'd had other family members who'd had the same exact problems, we decided to spend the $100 on a new Nikon instead.

Summary: Been good to me....
Comment: I recieved this digital camera for Christmas back in 2004, and it so far been doing very well. The images I want come up nice a clearly (as long as my arms hold steady), and if an image does come out the way I want it to, I can use other options to retake the image (when doing still images). I do plan to one day upgrade to a newer digital camera for art purposes, but for a point and shoot it has done w good job. I have even dropped it a couple times when it was off, and the only problem that came from that is the screen slightly flickers lines through it, but when the image is taken the lines don't appear.

Summary: AWSOME CAMERA
Comment: I got this camara a few years ago and have been taking pictures with it ever since. They are high quality picture. The controls are easy to use. You will need to purchase rechargeable batteries to go with it though. I have had no problems with this camara. I only wish It had morte megapixels now.
