Advantages: No film to worry about, can be purchased for a very reasonable price. Disadvantages: Battery useage, does not last long.
Needing a camera that could provide reasonable images pretty quickly and without breaking the bank I made a beeline for a show of Digi cameras and found this.
TECHNICAL SPEC
2.0 mega pixels means that you get approx 2 million dots that make up your picture and whilst this is not film quality it is pretty good and in my view good enough for most home users for snapshots.
It quotes a six times zoom but don`t be fooled it is 3 times optical which ... ...which is not the same thing.
Digital zoom will loose some quality of picture so I rarely contemplate using it.
A 1.6" monitor is excellent and gives you a good view for composing your picture. It has a variety of readouts on screen which are a big help too !
The 8mb memory is probably sufficient for most people but you can add a plug in memory card SD ( 16mb and 32mb )has I have done and this is very usefull if you have a printer that will print ...

Advantages: Fantastic camera, great pics & clear screen Disadvantages: Needs special batteries
We bought our camera 3 months ago and I've been very pleased with its performance. It's able to take very good quality photos, regardless of whether in artifical or natural light. The camera will tell you when there is 'low light' but will automatically adjust itself to take the best photograph. Camera will also do short video streaming, but no sound.
If you're not very technical, like myself, this camera is great because it's so easy to use, it's ... ...easy to use zoom too.
The colour screen is great and you can view all the photos stored on your camera. You also have the choice to delete any photo from here before sending them to your PC.

Advantages: fairly cheap, ok for family occasions etc, short battery life Disadvantages: low pixels compared to more modern cameras
This camera is not the best on the market, by a long shot, however for the price you can get it for nowadays, it can be a very useful purchase, although out of date, the zoom on it can be very effect, although if you are a person who is planning to go into the photography world, this is definately not the camera for you, its red eye removal can be useful, the other features of this camera are quick and easy to use.
However there is one extremely ...
