Pros: Good value, nice pictures.
Cons: Some words by buttons rubbed off making less-used buttons troublesome.
The Bottom Line: I would get this camera again because it has worked flawlessly for over a year and I have been kind of rough on it. Nice pics, good value.

Full Review
This camera was aggressively priced so I didn't expect much. My wife got it as an inexpensive replacement to the Sony that stayed with my previous employer. This one has much better shutter speed than the Sony I used. I was also pleasantly surprised with the quality of the pictures it takes. I like the compact flash memory, the ability to store lots of pictures and all of the easy to use features like autoflash and zoom. One of the best things about using this camera is that it has the ability to quickly review a picture and delete or keep it. The major negative with it is that it doesn't have a lot of memory internally, so if you forget your memory card you will only get about 10 pics before running out of space--5 pics if you have it set for 5 megapixel. The lcd that displays the pictures has true color to what shows up. I haven't used the docking feature with a printer because I mainly just focus on doing Picasa, but if it works as good as the rest of the camera, then I am sure it is fine. I like its size because it fits right into almost any jacket pocket or into my cargo pants and since it doesn't weigh much I can take it almost anywhere without a lot of intrusion.
