There are a few reasons I wouldn't recommend this camera. Firstly, the picture quality is predictably poor for such a cheap camera; skin tones often appear either pallid or a terribly milky yellow. Red eye is a hindrance even though it is endowned with a feature that is supposed to erase this defect. The battery life is not exceptional, though certainly not the worst draw back: after a couple of months use my camera stop working entirely for no apparent reason. If you're looking for a cheap camera, I suggest going for a different one or, more recommended, buying one a tad more expensive that will last longer.

This is a nice, compact, easy to use camera that takes good pictures during the guarantee period. It worked very well until shortly after the guarantee ran out, then it developed a tendency for the lens not to fully extend when turning the camera on. It's difficult to be sure whether the lens has fully extended, with the result that half of my pictures are now out of focus.
