    I bought this camera because it was the cheapest one I could find that did both still and video capture. It is tiny and easy to carry around, but the quality is not that good. All the fonts are small and hard to read. It has limited functions and is for the very amateur user or to be used in a pinch.

    This camera was so slow I missed most of what I wanted to get a picture of. I ended up using my phone! The compact size is great, but way too much delay after the button is pressed.
