To start with, I bought this camera off eBay, not expecting excellent quality, as it only cost me a little over £30 and came with a case, software and a 128mb memory card!
But when I got some batteries in it, turned it on and took a photo I was pleasantly surprised, the picture quality was very good indeed! Then I realised it wasn't even on full, as you can change the resolution of the picture and the quality, by pressing the little 'star' button, to raise it to 2 star images! WIth it on ful you don't get many pictures, but those you do get are excellent!
It is also exceptionally easy to use, I didn't even bother to read the instructions, even though they are very good and detailed, i just turned it on and played with all the features, like different colour effects and video recording! That leads me onto another good thing about it, it has a surprising amount of features for such a small and cheap camera (only 80x74x35mm), with different image sizes and qualities, video sizes and qualities, self timers, date stamps and time stamps.
It is also very durable, having been dropped a fair few times, and very reliable, I haven't had any technical problems with it....not one!
However, on top of the very good picture quality, features, durability, reliability and general value for money, there are some bad points!
For example, the flash isn't bad, unless it is just a bit too dark or just a bit too light, it has to be just right or everything goes completely white! It also is very slow to turn on with a memory card in, I don't know why it makes a difference, but if you are the type of person who suddenly gets the urge to take a photo quickly, this isn't the camera for you!
Also, i don't know whether you will think this is good or bad, but it weighs quite a bit for such a small thing, to me this is good because it shows it is of quite good quality, but it may not be the kind of thing you look for!
Overall, for the price, this is a very good little camera and I would definately recommend it to someone who just wants a small camera to have with them just in case they want a picture of something, it is also good enough quality to take to weddings and other special occasions.
