Won't focus or takes forever.
Pros: I paid $199.00 for it 10/03, so it was a heck of a buy. Even though I had lots of problems with it not locking focus, the pictures it did take were great. It finally stopped focusing at all, and they sent me a brand new one. It didn't work at all, righ
Cons: It's slow and doesn't like to focus.

Good 5mp for $200-makes 8x10 photo quality pictures
Pros: Cheap, cheap, and did I mention cheap. It takes great pictures if you take the time and hold the camera still. It's funny, the other reviews, say it's bad...bla bla bla, yes when compared to any other 5mp at twice the price! I say to them, you get what
Cons: Slow, not good for action shots, slow save time, and just about everything else is slow, but what do you want for $200?

Cons: SLOW....Like my old HP.

Great Beginners Digital Camera for $200
Pros: High Quality photos. Nice features for an inexpensive camera. Can't be too bad a model if Gateway decided to resell it.
Cons: It does consume some batteries IF you use the LCD as your view finder. Buy a larger Compact Flash card (16 Pics on 32MB card @ Highest Res.)

Happy with quality Pics & features
Pros: More options than someone who just wants to point and click needs. Good quality pics. Great value - $250.00
Cons: Size slightly larger than other 35m cameras (Not one of these mini wonders) - Screen doesn't show colors well, mostly sizing up frame. - If you only want to point and shoot and not going to do large prints other cameras may be more attractive.

Good pictures for the price
Pros: The included 32 Meg Compact Flash card will give you about 16 photos at the best setting. The software works well with Windows 98SE. You can add comments while viewing photos on the LCD monitor. Will record video with sound. Quite a few features for t
Cons: Don't want the free case. The camera is slow to respond to most commands. The movie mode is 320X240 -- don't waste your time or memory card. You have to provide your own rechargeable batteries.

1st digital camera, but I like it.
Pros: Easy to use. Takes good pictures. Fits hands well.
Cons: Start up is slow, as well as picture ******** before taking pictures. I was not able to get software to work. I just copy pictures from the added "camera drive" when USB port is connected and copy pictures to hard drive. This is my first digital camera
