Advantages: Tiny, very cute, great pictures Disadvantages: Viewing screen size and quality
You might have read my reviews of other digital cameras recently, I seem to be a bit obsessed with them! Anyway, this is my latest acquisition! Well, it was really a gift for my daughter, who requested a digital camera that was "small and cool looking" for Christmas. This was the choice that I made for her.
In the interests of research for this review, I have used the camera on several trips and am now very familiar with how it operates. The first ... ...SMALL camera!!

Batteries lasted quite long. Video recording was ok, but I think video usually needs audio, and I would appreciate vga quality ... ...warranty, focus just started malfunctioning and eventually whole camera stopped working.

Maybe problems linked with the fixed problem, which solution was just replacing the circuit card. Or maybe casing just pushes some inner parts, because pressing or moving the casing helps sometimes. Now I haven't been able to use the camera for ...
