pretty cool camera

Good for the money, but screen is fragile. If you DON'T use the Auto function, and take some time to learn how to use it, it takes great stills, and even really good video, in compatible format for editing! It has a good Chroma ability, and is so snappy and simple to use. The feel and buttons are really cool, I was hooked right away.

Shutter speed is super quick, .01, flash charge is not slow, it's fairly quick except in darkness, but even then only a few seconds.

The rechargeable battery is great, giving over 300 pics, it never went dead on me, and only takes about an hour to charge.

The features are excellent, Natural/flash on flash off takes two consecutive pics, there is an auction feature, blog, too many features to list here, really, a really good camera.

Unfortunately, in the days of iPods, with really tough screens, this screen is old LCD all the way. It looks good enough, but it broke like an old laptop. NEVER put it in your pocket, even for a short time, and don't put it in ANY stress situation. Buy a case, it's worth the money.
