"I really like the pictures taken by this camera. They're pretty sharp for a digital camera, though you generally have to pick the smaller picture size to transmit them over the Internet. I didn't use the included software because I already had Photoshop on my computer, so I don't know how that works. I only wish I bought a camera with regular batteries rather this rechargeable one, because you always want to fill the battery completely and discharge the battery again before recharging it and sometimes you just want to snap a picture whatever you want. Very nice features and pretty complete. The film on the screen seems to be peeling back however and that doesn't make me very happy. I don't know whether it's supposed to be there are not. I already peeled back one layer of thin-film when I got the camera so I'm pretty sure this one is supposed to stay there and stay put."

"This camera is grat! We have taken many photos and some video. We printed a picture that was 8X10 and it looked great. It waas not grainy at all. The on complaint I would have is that there is a delay when taking pictures, but other than that it is great."

"I was initially hesitant about purchasing a refurbished digital camera. I was concerned about the quality of the product and the warranty. After finding out that it came with the same manufacturer's warranty as a brand new camera, I went out on a limb and decided to purchase the camera. The camera takes great pictures, came with a memory card, and was very easy to use (especially for a first time user). I'm really glad I chose this particular model, and no one would ever guess that it's refurbished. I saved lots of money and got a great camera!"

"I'm a retired photographer, now just shooting for fun. There are a lot of functions you can use to manually capture an image. For a person who is expecting a point and shoot you really have to read the manual. But on the positive note you can do any picture with this camera as long as you know how to set it."

"I bought this camera because of the high megapixel and the fact that it has a macro feature. At the price it was listed at, it was a great buy. When I got it (in only a few days) it worked for an hour and then stopped working. I contacted Overstock and they sent me another camera to replace the defective one at no charge and emailed me a shipping lable to send the bad camera back to them. This was super easy, fast and fuss-free.
The new camera is a dream. The image quality is great, especially on the macro mode. It is extremely easy to go from picture taking to picture viewing, all you do it slide a switch. I'm very pleased this camera has a battery pack and doesn't use AA or AAA batteries, since it seems like it's impossible to get any decent amount of on time with those. It charges fast too.
The carrying case is very nice, with a pocket on the inside for a memory chip (sans case, the chip in a case will not fit). I like the fact that the screen is so wide so it's much easier to get an idea on how the shot will look. This is a great buy."

"The first camera's batery did not charge. I was only able to use the camera using the adapter. I returned that camera and was shipped another right away.
The camera has a long delay and some of the pictures come out blurrey. Other than that I love it."

"I bought this camera knowing it was a refurbished item, but I was assured that it goes through a complete inspection before being re-sold. I got the camera intact in the original box, and nothing is missing. However, the body of the camera looks like someone dropped it and caused major grooves and scratches on it. Because the camera works and the lenses are not scratched, and I got it at a really really good price, I won't return it or complain to customer service. What was interesting was that the inspection tag said that there were no scratches on it and that everything was fine."

"I really wanted a rechargeable camera but the battery doesn't hold a charge for longer than an hour. We only got to take 20 pictures on one charge and we turned it off between taking photos. That's terrible if you're out sightseeing for a day! Also, pictures you do take don't automatically show up on the screen for viewing. Bummer."

"This camera is very small and compact, yet offers all kinds of features. A quick read of the entire manual is done in 15 minutes and gives the new user the ability to get going right away. Charges right up. Very smooth, excellant value for a x3 optical zoom and +8 pixels, the extra memory card, and charger were the selling point for me, nice case, and it was all packeged very well, and arrival was timely."
