This is the first digital camera I ever bought. I was very excited about the purchase because it was inexpensive as far as digital camera go (I paid around $180 four years ago). I was happy with the results of photos, but only because I didn't know better at the time. Now when I look back at those photos I want to cry. Grainy, blurry, color is muted. Just crap.
Another problem I found with this camera is the so very slow upload from camera to PC. I would connect the camera then go make supper before I could come back and view the photos. The software they provide is not very good either. I tried it then used my Paintshop to edit photos from then on. I did a lot of editing to get the photos to look somewhat correct.
After I started seeing other digital camera results I vowed to buy a new one and thought I'd give this to my son. It broke before I was able to do either. $180 disposable digital camera. It did last a few years, but I can't go back and take better photos. If only I had known.
Don't buy this camera.

(+) 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
