  Duration of ownership: 40 Days

  Strengths: The Features like Fireworks, Kids&Pets, Beach, Snow, Aquarium, Foliage, Sunset, Night Scene, Image Stabilizer, & Indoor Modes are a Huge Asset to have in a Camera for this Size & Price! Not to mention it also is an 8.0 Megapixel Camera. And to Top it off, it has Manual Modes as well. I absolutely love this Compact Camera. Highly Recommend!!!!

  Weaknesses:The only weakness found thus far is Battery Useage... That's if you take alot of pictures like I do. But you can always buy a Power Adapter for it. Also, there are no easy modes for fast moving objects.

  Overall Evaluation: A Great All-Around Family Camera. It's a Perfect Camera for almost any situation or scene, except Fast Moving Objects. Highly Recommended for People who have little to no experience with camera's.

  Strengths: Excellent pictures-I paid $149 two years ago-various selection of photo options-easy to download on computer.

  Weaknesses:Pictures/videos won't play on any TV when using the cords that came with camera-short battery life until I found a compatible battery for this camera.

  Overall Evaluation: This is my first digital camera and I enjoy it very much. I'm a beginner and still have a lot to learn.The best battery for this camera is Duracell Powerpix. One try, and you'll be sold.
