This is a nice little camera. Very easy to use. I started using it right after I put the batteries in and not even reading the instructions. Sturdy, nice looking, and small. Easily fits in any pocket. I bought a cover for it to protect it. Takes really nice pictures. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is just like what other people said, it you are not steady the picture will be blured. But I'm pretty sure there is a setting to correct that, I better read the instructions! I've taken about 90 pictures so far. Very nice color. The batteries lasted for about 75 using flash. And sometimes there is a few seconds delay after you use the flash, but there is a red led on top of the camera to let you know. Other cameras I've used have done the same thing, so I don't think this is unusual. This camera also takes videos with sound. The LCD screen is large and clear enough to see even in the sun. Like I said, maybe I should read the book, and I might give it 5 stars as it has several settings which I haven't tried yet. But it is easy enough to use so you can start taking pictures as soon as you get it out of the box. So I'm happy I bought it, have taken a lot of really nice pictures, and the price is a lot cheaper than if you bought a similar camera with a more well known brand. I like my little camera!
