Duration of ownership: 1 Months

Strengths: Very good pictuers, and very compact; i kept it in my pocket all the time

Weaknesses:Zoom features stopped working. As a result, the lens would not retract when powered off. Returned to Best Buy for full refund

Overall Evaluation: Very good camera, certainly for the price. However, the fact that it stopped working after only a few weeks of use is disappointing.

Duration of ownership: 90 Days

Strengths: Slim, lightweight, good pictures. battery.

Weaknesses:xD Card

Overall Evaluation: Pictures seem to be good however I would rather have SD since my other cameras and camcorder uses SD cards. sometimes in light the camera takes pictures that are too bright but they may just be a user malfunction. Battery that comes with is good and a reachargeable. software program is robust and easy to use.
