It's a good camera. The one I had before it was a Sony but at least 5 years old. The new one is now HD and has a bigger screen. Overall it's great and does what I need it to do.

I was looking for a small point and shoot camera for my wife that would also be easy to use. This one seems to fit the bill. She did not want something very complicated. With this one she can leave it on Auto and get the results she wants. I find it a little small for my hands but just right for hers.

The optics seem fine, the screen is bright enough, and it is quite light in weight. The user has some exposure control. The major shortcoming is that the some functions are hard to navigate to. Fortunately, my old digital camera had much the same user interface.

THEY WORK GOOD. WE USE THEM FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION USE. THEY ARE AT GOOD ENOUGH VALUE THAT WHEN THEY BREAK FROM MISUSE OR CARELESSNESS ITS OK. I BELIEVE THEY WERE $50 AND AT THAT PRICE IF IT LAST 3 MONTHS THEN THEY HAVE MORE THAN PAYED FOR THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE TENDED TO LAST LONGER THAN THAT THOUGH.

After all the research on point and shoot cameras I pulled the jumped in and purchased this camera that had good reviews, priced right and was about the size that I had hoped for, now that I have had the camera a couple of months it was time to sit and write the review.
I'm still trying to find a camera to replace my 2 former cameras that I absolutely loved (Casio Exilim HS EX-ZR500 & Casio Exilim EX-Z750...they still exist in tiny quantities and the price is double what I paid...often even for used)
I have spent more hours than I care to admit reading about 10-20 different point and shoot cameras. Sadly the phone cameras have taken over the world, for travel there is not enough memory on a phone for me and super hard to get them off your phone when you have a lot of pictures...frustrating to say the least. I often carry 4-5 32 Mb memory cards with me when I travel, I like to take a lot of photos.
Sadly they no longer offer smaller amazing point and shoot cameras under the $700.00+ range that I could find that is a point and shoot to fit in my pocket, take amazing night time shots, beautiful scenic shots, work great at capturing pictures while being a passenger in a car, respond quickly to turning on and be ready to perform....everything this camera sadly does not do. And easy to use.
I had high hopes for this camera, I knew I wasn't spending a lot...but newer technology, more megapixels, etc I thought would produce better pictures...sadly, no, no and no. The only thing I like so far is the size.
Slow to fire up, buttons are hard to use because they are tiny and not easily found or respond quickly to push the shutter button. Zoom is slow to respond. It doesn't capture motion very well either, the slightest movement from a bird and it's blurry.
I am going to see if me 13 year old niece would like it to capture fun memories of times with friends, etc., without having to want the pictures be simple amazing.
