Review by Karen on January 14, 2010:
Let me start by saying that I’ve never had so much fun with a camera before. It’s extremely user friendly. The picture quality is pretty good. It’s obviously not meant for taking action shots or other fast-moving situations. What it IS great for is taking photos of yourself or your friends at parties and things like that. It also has some cool features… like Beauty Shot, which automatically makes your skin look smoother. Very cool. Like I said, it’s fun camera!
