Basically, I can say that this camera is a great buy, if you're into family photos and holiday pics. It wouldn't be practical for any professional photographers who require a wide selection of functions to manipulate the photos.
The camera looks neat and stylish, and has the ability to capture still images and motion. Although the camera cannot record sound during these captures. The main feature for the 'looks' of the camera, is the swiveling lens, which means the lens can be protected when not in use. The camera uses memory cards, although i found when i first bought the camera, it would reject the memory card which i bought with the product. Compact Flash 'Scandisk' memory cards work fine though.
The camera has auto focus, and a built in timer and flash. The previewed image is seen through an LCD screen, and after the photo has been taken, a sliding panel ontop of the camera changes modes from 'Capture' to 'Play', from where you can see the taken photos.
The camera comes with an USB cable, which connects to your computer easily. Assuming you have Windows XP, the system should detect the camera, and gives you options to extract the images from the camera, or view them as a slideshow etc. No Software Required! The images are of good quality when seen on a computer and can be easily printed.
In general, the camera is a good all round buy, and i would reccomend it to anyone wanting to use the camera for leisure activities or semi-professional photography.
