This is an easy to use 5 mega pixel digital camera . It has a 4x digital zoom and a large (2.5") monitor. Although it does not have an optical veiw finder. It has six white balance settings (Auto, sunny, cloudy, tungdten bulb and two fluorescent settings) self timer (10, 15, 20 sec option) The camera can be connected to you PC or laptop via a USB (included) and can also be connected to your TV via the 'video in' soccets. The focal range of the camera is 8.25 mm with an aperture of 3.0

The draw backs are that it requires two AAA size batteries and not one of the rechargeable lithium batteries many digital cameras have, also there is no cover for the lens unlike other modles where the lens goes into the camera body when switched off hence it is more vounerable to being scratched. The flash has a default setting of 'off' so you will need to remember to turn it on yourself.

The camera measures about 9 cm x 5.5 cm x 3 cm.

It has an inbuilt memory and can store 40 pics without the need to use a memory card (not included)

The camera can also take short video clips and record sound. It's fairly light and does take good pictures as you would expect from a 5 mega pixel camera but you can also adjust the size of the photo on the camera as well. Sizes which can be selected:

2560X1920 (5M), 2048X1536 (3M), 1600X1200(2M)

The camera also has an anti-shake built in and like most digital cameras you can view the photos you have taken on the screen.

It is a very good camera considering what I payed for it (£52 inc P+P)
