Good: takes standard penlight batteries and sd cards, easy to use

Bad: picture quality,slow to start and record to card

Comment: picture quality is TERRIBLE !
severe noise in plain white areas, pics are badly blurred, very bad jpeg artifacts. could be the jpeg prog in this camera is compressing pics too much.
pics are pale and washed out with very poor definition. very difficult to clean them up afterwards.
My cheap samsung 7mp takes better pics than this.
camera is easy to use, if a little slow.
I dont recommend this camera - although it is cheap and a bottom of the range model the picture quality really is just awfull !
