Summary: Awesome Camera
Comment: This is an awesome camera for the price and I didn't have an issue with the batteries as I use rechargeables. Alkalines on any digital will be done in hours. For those who complain about battery life, switch to NiMH.
I think you also have to be careful to select the proper battery mode: alkaline or NiMH.
In all, I am very satisfied.

Summary: Superb value in a digital camera
Comment: I had a Sony Cybershot 4 MP camera, but wanted a more portable digital camera. I bought this camera because it received good reviews and was affordable. I've used the camera to take low-light pictures, nature photos during the day, sunsets and pet pictures.
I like that this camera uses AA batteries, unlike many others this size. This is wonderful if you run out on travel, although alkaline don't last nearly as long as high-capacity NiMH rechargables.
The daylight pictures I have printed out on 8x10 glossy photo paper have often come out amazing. However, since the camera is small, the camera doesn't have a wide focal range (meaning if it focuses on someone's face, that person's friends a few feet in the background may be blurry). With practice, the pictures are amazing.
In low light, the camera often takes good pictures, but the red eye reduction doesn't work on pets. It works fairly well on people.
So far, the camera seems durable---I've used it in 19 degree, windy days in New Hampshire, and dropped it once (albeit in a camera case) with no incident.
Unfortunately, there is no manual focus control. This means taking pictures through windows or mesh screens is difficult, because the auto focus locks onto the window or screen instead.
Besides the point-and-shoot mode, there are a huge variety of picture taking modes. These include slow-sync flash (i.e. keep the background and foreground lit up), child pictures (fast moving), sunset, portrait, landscape, aperture and shutter control, as well as full manual control. You also can control the white balance. Unfortunately, if you need face detection, you'll need to look for the 8 MP model.
In addition, once you've taken the pictures, you can do a good amount of post-processing in the camera---filter colors, crop the picture and the likes. You can zoom in on the picture to confirm it is in focus.
Beyond that, you can add a 10-second audio annotation to each picture. This is invaluable when you go on trips. You can also make simple movies with or without sound.
To me, the camera is an amazing value in a point and shoot camera.
