Acceptable, with limits

Like most other reviewers, we found flash closeups to be grossly overexposed.
Since we take a LOT of such flash closeups, we simply made a small "hat" made from a strip of copy paper to fit over the flash. End of problem.
As to unpredictability of the flash: The camera doesn't need much light to decide for itself the flash isn't needed. We tend to set the camera to force a flash and use the "hat" as described above. Outdoor pictures are generally very good, but certainly not up to mega-pixel quality.
The camera IS a bit of a battery-hog, but since it comes with an AC adapter, we often use the adapter for those indoor closeups. Battery savings hint: The camera uses battery #123, a single 3-volt cell. Buy a battery #223, which has TWO 123's in it, and use them, IF you're willing to crack open the plastic case, which isn't the easiest thing to do, but saves you about 30-40% over the cost of 2 #123's.

Short lifespan

I used this camera for about 30 photos over a 5 month period. Took okay quality photos, but one day it just quit working, tried a new battery even though right before it quit it said my battery was good. New battery didn't revive it.

You can use this as a teaching tool. You can take a few pictures, lerne how to down load, and learn a lot about the including software.It would be a valuable and relatively inexpensive tool, befor you spend a lot of money on a better camera.

I like this camera for its bare bones & inexpensive properties. I have had no trouble taking, downloading or editing the digital images that I have taken. As a mater of fact the camera is remarkable in its simplicity. As a first for me I love it !
