Author's Review
I haven't used many of the advanced features, but so far, what I find nice is ease of use. It took me about a day to figure out how it worked, and then I was snapping pictures left and right. The con is that when using the LCD screen (which can, by the way, be turned off) it really sucks up my battery life, which is why I got a battery charger. Otherwise, get it for nice pictures (4MB) but just for basic jobs. The other irratation was that it only came with a 16 MB memory card. This camera actually uses a new type of memory card. This card, ("XD picture card") can only hold 4 pics on high resolution, which is needed for prints. On low resolution, which is good if you only want to view them on the computer or TV, it can generously hold 33. Movies are also avaliable, but are audio only. The time you have avaliable to film depends on resolution and memory card space. Movies have two resolutions avaliable. I used the lower one on an empty memory card and shot 60 seconds of video. Another thing I really love about it is that you can protect pics and movies you don't want to delete. To make sure this worked, I set a picture on protect, then tried to delete it. It wouldn't let me, so I unprotected it and deleted it. This camera has great value and is good for a person who isn't professional but just wants good nice pictures.
