    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Rechargeable Battery

    Weaknesses: Zoom

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera for to use at a graduation, and it worked great. The rechargeable battery that it comes with saves lots of me money by not buying large amounts of batteries. It can hold a charge. It takes a decent picture, but It needs to be able to zoom in more.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: *fast picture taking*extremely easy to use*compact and lite*several types of picture settings

    Weaknesses: *lense is close to the side and sometimes your finger can cover it*difficult to take action shots, lighting doesn't always show up well

    Overall Evaluation: All in all this is a great camera, especially for travel. You could probably find a better camera that is smaller and has more picture features but you would end up paying twice as much. This is a very reliable, easy to use camera. In a time where technology is constantly changing you could get a couple years worth out of this camera and it would pay for itself within a year. Dollar for dollar it is the biggest bang for your buck.
