Author's Review
What should one expect from a camera that after the rebate only costs $57? My main expectation was to be able to send non-blurry photos of my folks to my sister quickly and easily via email. I'm not trying to win a photo contest. This camera filled my expectations nicely. Will it take pictures in a really low light situation? No. But I just took a photo of this screen and it came out great.

It seems to me this camera gives me exactly what I wanted:

1. It is small so it can be taken anywhere easily and doesn't get in the way.
2. The pictures it takes are better than I thought they would be. They are in focus. As long as there is front lighting or sufficient light they come out OK. I've taken pictures when the sun is going down in back of me and they came out fine. A photo editor can usually fix what doesn’t come out OK. I even got a nice 'effect' picture with the sun by accident. It won't give you the pictures an $800 camera is capable of, but hey!
3. The transfer to the computer is very simple and it launches explorer after moving them if desired.
4. It is inexpensive.
5. The display is easy to read and operate. I wouldn't think even a beginner would have a problem operating this camera if he/she can read. The book is sparse because the camera doesn't do much more than take a picture, but it is clearly written.
6. The initial installation onto the computer was an easy one.
7. I didn't try the photosuite 4 se sent with the camera as I have too many photo programs already.

Bonus: The camera has a 10 second timer on it. I do not really get why they put this feature on it because it doesn't have a tripod screw hole. Perhaps there is a tripod out there that will hold it in position. Otherwise the only thing that can be done is to prop it up on something and guess. Maybe a piece of wood with a slit in it could serve as a cheap stand.

It doesn't feel too delicate, however as I haven't broken it I do not know if it is delicate or not. If I break it I'll come back and edit this review. :-)
