Pros: | Good camera for photos | Cons: | video quality lacking | New or Used: New
| | Had bought this new years and years ago to replace a Kodak Easy Share. I had used Pentax before and had a Auto 110 as a point and shoot so I decided to get this.I replaced it with a LS465 which I used for years and now bought a Ricoh WG-50.

Pros: | Lens is surprisingly sharp | Cons: | Few manual settings | New or Used: Used
| | Just picked up one of these on feebay as it appealed to my inner child - customizing the camera! Looks like a toy and feels like a toy. No way to set aperture or speed manually. Basic point-and-shoot.
Put it on a tripod and aimed it at my K200D to see if it was a toy or a camera. Personally I was amazed - better than my FZ50, better than my SX160IS and 1000D, much better than my SP810UZ. Want a cheap camera to take photos of stuff to sell? Look no further.
I uploaded a full-size, full-res pic straight from the camera with no adjustments to flickr. Exposure, WB (manual) and focus are spot-on in my opinion. Maybe I underestimate cheap compacts but I have to say I was surprised at the IQ. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1630revello/sets/72157637062540825/
Ok it performs poorly in low light and most photographers will get bored with it very quickly because there ain't a lot of scope for creativity, but the performance is more than adequate for the target market which I suspect is teenagers.
Would make a good gift for the kids and enable them to take decent photos.
