I've been using this camera for about 2 months and here is my opinion. The biggest problem I have with this camera is blur. At first I thought it was just a preview screen because it's horribly low resolution, but these are real images once loaded. It works well in high-light environments, but indoor and day/night photos are almost always slightly washed out, regardless of the settings. It even happens sometimes when set with a timer! Very frustrating. I only paid $130 but if I had paid the full retail price I would have already refunded it. My next biggest complaint is the zoom. I was thrilled to find a 26x zoom on such a relatively cheap camera, but it's so fast and jerky! The shortest press sends it about 3 or 4 times further than you'd reasonably expect, and it takes a full second or two to actually start zooming after pressing the button. Everything else about this camera is great, I spent $20 on rechargeable batteries. which last longer than I expected, especially since battery life seems to be the biggest complaint in the reviews. Overall I would say that you definitely don't need this camera if you want to take quick, good pictures without fiddling with settings, but if you're on a budget and want a camera that can take great pictures with little effort then it is this camera for you!
