For a 10 MP I was terribly disappointed with this camera. I didn’t go in & start messing with all the dozens of tiny things you can change, I just went w/ auto setting & all my indoor pics of my daughter were blurry! I have a new baby on the way & need a camera that I know will be clear every time. I don’t know why it was blurry & I really don’t care. I am an avid picture taker & this one is just too much trouble! I did get better results when taking outdoor pics using the “Sunny Conditions” setting but like many other reviews say, you can’t actually see the pics you are taking b/c of the lack of viewfinder (seems to be a common problem w/ this type of camera). The only way I got the indoor pics to come out clear (Indoor setting was terrible & DIS actually made it worse) was to go to Restore Factory Settings each time I used the camera! Since I never changed the settings to begin with, I don’t know what the problem was. My 5MP Kodak Easyshare was so superior to this one!! The only reason I’m buying a new one is I wanted something more compact & this one def. lives up to that! It is tiny but the zoom is also terrible. I tried taking pics of my daughter at her first recital but not only were the pics blurry (I tried every setting!) I couldn’t even zoom close enough to see her face! I missed those irreplaceable pics b/c of this crappy camera, do not buy it!!!

It is a excellent 10MP digital camera for novice. User friendly navigation menu, good tips for shooting in different environment.
Super fast response time (without flash), driving-mode is excellent, take up to 3 pictures per second and continuely until the internal memory is filled up (more than 12 pictures even with max quality SHQ mode), it allows you to pick which pictures you wanna save from the internal memory before really saving to the xD card.One thing that I don’t like is that you can’t select the ISO when you turn on the Image Stabilization Mode, as the spec states “This mode boosts ISO sensitivity and shutter speed for capturing crisp, clear pictures”, the trade off is the quality of the picture, a lot of noise on the image since high ISO speed is used, if you want to take good quality picture, don’t use it.

Since ISO can set up to 6400, you can take pictures even in a dark environment, but the same draw back - quality will dramatically drop.
