Title: All things considered, a very good camera for the price
Product review: I've owned many different cameras since becoming a shutterbug in the late 70s, and this one for the price ($159 new in sales tax free Oregon) is a winner on all counts. It has the solidity, heft and optional manual functions that seem right to folks who started on 35mm cameras, takes clean pictures and seems built to last.Like all digital cameras it eats batteries, so a charger is a good idea. And 5.2 pixels is ridiculous overkill for any pictures that you don't plan to blow up to poster size. At the camera's lowest resolution setting you get pictures that are sharp enough for general purpose photography--snapshots, email and website photos.Prices on digital cameras have gone down so fast in the past couple of years. If you could have found one this good a couple years ago it would have cost an arm and a leg--they seem to just get better and better, even compared to my beloved old Nikon and Minolta 35mm dinosaurs!
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
