*SLIGHT UPDATE AFTER I DROPPED MY CAMERA* I received this camera (the gold pimpin' version) on my 21st birthday from my boyfriend's sister. It was a fantastic thought, but I didn't play with it for several months as I had no idea how it worked. The instructions I received in the manual were awful, but having some common sense (not something I'm blessed with) would probaly help. More about that later. It's essentially a plastic toy camera, so I thought it was just a prop for my "Geeks'n'Chavs party". In any case, I guess I'll briefly go through the information that I have learnt regarding ... more

But, I tried, and was astonished. The picture had a colorful aspect and a large resolution. The black circle around the image made it special. Now, i don't regret the money.
