5 of 5 Great Little Camera Friday, November 30, 2007
A Customer from Denver, CO
I am very satisfied with this purchase. This camera is small enough to fit in a pocket, lightweight and easy to use. Short learning curve for this camera! I recommend it for the casual photographer that wants to take it to events, etc. and not carry something bulky around. It takes crisp pictures, has a rechargeable battery and has many different subject modes (pet, night, kids, snow, etc). Buy.com had it on my doorstep in less than a week. Was this review helpful?
