We haven't had our hands on this product, but we know which features matter. Here's how the measures up:
Best For Small Prints Only
Even for a point-and-shoot, this model has a low megapixel count--but it may suit your needs anyway. A 3- to 4-megapixel camera lets you print images at sizes up to 4 by 6 inches without visible reduction in quality or sharpness. Though you can print images at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches, the prints will lose sharpness and detail noticeably. Cameras (such as cell phone cameras) with a pixel count below 3 megapixels are best used only for images destined for e-mail, Web pages, or presentations. As the pixel count on an image sensor increases, so does its tendency to produce images plagued by noise--ugly speckling patterns. To avoid noise, look for a camera with the lowest pixel count that still serves your output needs.
Small LCD Screen
In the universe of digital cameras, this model has a fairly small LCD screen. It’s tempting to think that bigger is better, but there are advantages to having a smaller screen. What you lack in big-screen bang may likely come back to you in longer battery life: Powering a big, bright LCD takes a lot of juice. When a camera's LCD screen has its only viewfinder, you need to make sure that you can see it easily in bright daylight and in very low ambient light. Use the LCD screen to judge the composition of your images but not to gauge color and exposure. For color and contrast, histograms of your images are much more reliable--and most cameras these days provide them.
JPEG Image Format
All digital cameras can capture JPEG images. The JPEG compression process greatly reduces the amount of storage an image requires, and JPEG images transfer quickly from your camera to your computer. JPEG compression is a lossy algorithm, however, which means that saving an image in JPEG format degrades its quality. The high-quality JPEG settings on most cameras are quite good, and it's difficult to spot differences between a JPEG compressed image and a noncompressed image. Still, if you like to edit your images, you may want to upgrade to a camera that also supports a noncompressed (lossless) format, such as TIFF or RAW.
Good for Taking Arms-Length Shots
This model has a middle-of-the-pack minimum focus distance, meaning that it may have trouble focusing on subjects very close to the lens. Better cameras are available for macro photography--detailed close-up shots of flowers and other small objects--but this one is a good option for arms-length shots such as informal self-portraits. To test the unit's minimum focus distance, position it very close to a subject, and press the shutter button halfway down to focus; if the camera never beeps to indicate that the image is in focus, you are closer than the camera’s minimum focus distance. If this happens, switch the camera to macro mode and try again. If the camera won’t focus even in macro mode, you can sometimes zoom in or out to get it to lock into focus.

Strengths: Price, quality pictures, 3.2 mp, Easy to use, compact, SD memory
Weaknesses: No optical zoom
Overall: Very good camera for its price. Easy to learn to use as design of the camera, and menu is very user friendly. Anybody can master this camera in few hours unlike other pricy high end camera. Picture quality is very good and meets most of the purpose.Use of SD card is another plus and this card is not so expensive like xd card. Camera is light and medium compact. Design is quite ergonomic.LCD quality is bright enough in daylight for most of the users. The only weakness is having just the digital zoom, which is better not to use.
