"I ordered this camera for my mother-in-law who is very technologically challenged, so I wanted the simplest digital camera I could find! Since it is basically point and shoot automatically, it works great! She likes its simplicity to operate and small size very much! We do want to get a bigger memory card for it now as she ran out of space for pictures, but I wanted to make sure she liked it 1st - it fits great in her purse & the blue matches her cell phone! I liked the price too - only have seen once since I purchased this one for a few dollars cheaper on sale at a local discount store!"

"I bought this camera as a gift for my sister- and was so impressed by the quality of her pictures and the convenient size that I ordered one for myself. I have a larger, more complicated camera, and this one is easier to carry around, with similar quality snapshots. The convenience was far and away the deciding factor, but the ease of use and picture quality is a definite plus."
