I absolutely love this camera. It's so easy to use and the pictures always come out great. It's small and easy to have with me all the time, but it's durable enough so I don't have to worry about it. Point and shoot is just my style and with face recognition I always get my subjects just where I want them!

Overall good value for the price. Like most P&S cameras it only offers 4:3 or 16:9 ratios. The standard 3:2 ratio of DSLR's match the standard 4X6 print size so you will want to crop your shots before printing.
With so many pixels on a small sensor low light imaging leaves a lot to be desired. Fine for the usual daytime outdoor shots.
Overall comparable to most other brands in this price range. It will come down to price and color preferences. Made in China.

The camera starts up slow, and there is a long lag time between photos. But it works great other wise for a pocket camera. Its tiny and cute and the pictures aren't blurry and that's really all I wanted for what I call a "party" camera.

The smile feature is great. It snaps the shot when it sees a smile. Great color[...]. I used to have a canon similar to this but the thing broke quickly. I have several friends with this one and never a problem. Takes great pictures which is exactly what I needed.

The camera's small, ultra thin size beats all cameras in its category. This is the 2nd one I've purchased within three weeks. Both for my nieces ages 15 and 19. Can fit into a small wristlet or right in a shirt pocket without being so obtrusive!
