"This camera does not take good pictures in any light setting. The flash either overpowers the shot and the picture is too light, or the flash makes the picture dark. For 5 MP's, I am surprised that the pictures are always blurry. I get better shots on my cell phone. "

"Item is not a bad item but im more interested in somethink like the kodak z650 or p880. I bought this as a cheap temporary one to replace my stolen camera. [...] Once again makes awsome gift for someone in school or a digital beginner. "

"I think this is a pretty good deal for a camera with 5 megapixels. U have to use it with the flash on or the pictures will not look good but with the flash they show pretty good. I bought this camera Friday after Thanksgiving [...]I would recommend this camera to first time user. "

"I expected the camera to have more features. What good does it do to record video to a camera that has no memory? If the camera connects to a pc via usb, why not make it possible to record video and save to the pc since video uses so much memory? "
