I am a student (the money from ciao (not much) is helping me survive) and I am currently studying hard! I have tried lots of software and hardware over my time so am fairly up-to-date on that stuff. www.pirateeye.co.uk
The Flash can be set to automatic, manual, off. Red eye can be turned on and off as well. A wide choice of sizes to choose from: 4m, 3m, 2m, 1m and VGA A choice of three quality settings Economy, Normal, Fine 3 Capture Modes (Single Shot, Continuous Shot and Self-Timer) Video Camera Option Scene Selection Off, Party Indoor, Beach Snow, Sunset, Night Landscape, Fireworks and Night Portrait White Balance Auto, Sunny, Fluorescent, Tungsten Digital Zoom (Not so good)
Ability to Delete and Thumbnail the pictures
The camera has a wide range of set ups for a range of different conditions to get the best photo. The camera for its price is an excellent deal. It is small and compact. I have purchased a memory card however as I feel the in-built space is a bit limiting. I recommend it to anyone wishing to buy a low pricedigital camera for basic use. Also the camera features a selectable flash option of automatic, red eye, etc, which I find ideal, especially when the initial set up doesnt take a quality photo.
Negative point however - I have yet to take a very good nighttime photo, coming out mainly dark. In good lighting the camera takes excellent photos.
The Basic Stuff
It cost me - £80 It has an LCD display 1.5" Max Res - 2272x1704 (4 Megapixels) 6x Digital Zoom SD input Macro Mode - For close ups etc PC/Mac Compatible Video Clip Capability TV Out USB
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
(+) Ultra-compact dimensions, fun automatic tools, good performance for the asking price (-) Cluttered menu layout, camera buttons are scarce, specs are almost identical to the Samsung ES15
Sounds like a pretty good camera. I agree with Blurbubble, if you want to add anything I will come back and have another read. Sharron xxx

Hi, I've re-read and re-rated on your update..however this still reads as little more than a list, as others have said you need to explain a bit more about some of the features, ease of use, your experience of using the camera etc. Cheers, BB :o)

Upgraded my original "SH" rating to "helpful"...You still have too many features simply listed, without explaining their benefits to the user...Ken
