Title: don't buy it
Review: We bought this camera 1 year ago and it does take great pictures, but it has 1 major flaw. The lens cover which slides over the lens has a bearing and a spring under it which serve as the mechanism which holds the lens open or closed and tells the camera whether to retract the lens to off position or leave it out for a photo. The mechanism gave out on our camera and upon taking it to a store for repair the service rep. says he sees the same problem a few times a week and that it is so common that he is having a hard time getting replacement parts. This causes the lens to suddenly retract as you are about to take a pictue at random intervals. I know two other people that have the same camera and the same problem. It appears to be a design flaw in the whole Epic line of cameras. It is around 70-80 dollars to fix and for that you might as well buy a new camera.
