Performance
Overall rating	79
Image quality: To gauge picture quality, we take a series of shots, with and without flash, at 640 by 480 resolution and at the camera's highest resolution. We photograph a complex still life and a mannequin to see how well each camera captures details and subtle colorings such as skin tones. A panel of judges reviews the on-screen and printed photos and assigns image-quality scores; we then average those scores.	Fair

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Nice features.

Weaknesses: Bad quality.

Overall Evaluation: Have had it for 2 years. After 6 months, the lens got stuck. Got it repaired. After 18 months a button on the back was out of function. I managed without it, but now the display have gone all black. I think 2 years is too short lifespan for a camera. My old Nikon SLR is still as good as new after 20 years.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Short shutter delay, high resolution, compact, big LCD screen, long battery life

Weaknesses: slow to set zoom, awkward manual settings (though automatic settings work fine for most pictures). Autofocus fails in some low-light situations (stained glass windows).

Overall Evaluation: I've owned this camera since about July 2004, and have been very happy with it. It has a very short shutter delay. (I hated the long delay on my first digital camera, a Ricoh RDC-7.) Beautiful pictures.It also comes with a cable to plug into a USB port on my computer, and automatically emulates a disk drive. Trivial to download pictures from. Works fine with Linux.Only one significant problem so far, when the zoom failed suddenly. Everything else kept working - it would take pictures, display them, retract and cover the lens when turned off, uncover and deploy the lens when turned on. The zoom worked in replay mode (can zoom in and out of the recorded picture), so apparently the switch was okay.Solution: The bezel around the lens had come partially unscrewed!Apparently there is a switch to detect this, which disables the zoom function so an accessory lens will not cause damage. Just tightening the bezel fixed it. Thanks to my son in law Drew for figuring this out!
