Bought this for my mom for Mother's Day this year. I wanted her to use something simple. If it's too difficult, she won't worry. We visit her in the summer holidays. What a great little camera. Takes wonderful pictures. She has a little zoom, but she mostly takes face and group photos, so that's not a problem. There are a few things that make this little camera great 1) Excellent image quality considering the price 2) Uses AA batteries. I've used Cannon batteries and I hate proprietary batteries. You can't just buy a battery for one of these cameras when yours dies at an amusement park. It uses regular batteries. GREAT TIME +++3) Easy to use4) Small enough to carry in your pocket. It's not ultra thin, but it's small enough. All in all, this is a great little camera at an affordable price.
