Author's Review
This is a wonderful camera for first time digital users. I first borrowed this camera from my neighbor shortly after the birth of my daughter and was so pleased with it that I not only bought one for myself but also convinced my aunt, friend and sister to purchase this same camera. The money saved on film and developing has more than paid for this camera. There are a variety of options on this camera from Black & White to Sepia effects. The only problem I have encountered is that the batteries seem to run low very quickly when downloading the pictures to my computer. That problem will be solved shortly because we are buying a photo printer where you can put the picture card into the printer to download. It is so easy to take a picture and immediately download and email it to my family who all lives out of state. This camera has helped to shorten the distance between my family and my daughter with just a snap and a click.
