Well, I think its a cracking little (ish) camera. I have not idea whether you can still buy it, but I have used it a lot. I am sure there are better models availble now, but when I got it, it did and still does represent great value for money. This software is good, and I can use it for my scanner too. The auto-enhance feature is impressive. It is quick to upload, easy to view pictures already taken, and easy to bin them. You can use the video feature to see exactly what the photo will be like. It has a timer and a range of flashes, a good memory size, especially on low quality (they rate it Good, Better and Best !!!) which is not really very low at all - more than enough detail for my casual use.
However, there is a certain sticky point. The major one is batteries. It eats them - quickly. At the start, I was using one set of 4 AAs to take pictures and another to upload and save - 8 AA batteries for 30 photos is not too good. It only takes alkaline batteries. However, I have found a new rechargable alkaline battery called Rayovac, in Dixons, which for an initial investment of around £20 means you get your snaps for a lot cheaper in the long run. The camera is also considerably larger than recent digi-cams, but still not much larger than your average film camera
