What an absolute piece of junk! I think it will ultimately depend on what you are looking for. This could be a good camera for a very young child. It's not expensive, but it's also not durable at all. If you want a camera that doesn't care if it falls into a dung heap, then this might work. I wouldn't stress this chamber too much as it feels very fragile and empty. In terms of quality, it is about in the same class as the Bullfrog stool.
