"Great camera, when it works, but can be repaired"
Pros: Can find on ebay for a great price for a 5+ pixel camera with great functionality
Cons: Probably half of the cameras have problems with the battery door
Summary: I have purchased several of these cameras once I figured out how to fix the "Card Error" "Battery Cover Open" "Protected Card" messages that kept popping up and not allowing me to use the camera. Also sometimes the camera will turn off and the zoom is stuck open. This all has to do with the battery door being faulty on a lot of these cameras. The door does not close correctly so the camera believes the door is open or there is a problem with the card, battery etc. If you open the door and place a small folded up piece of paper or tissue and then shut the door so that it's tight (may need some tape to hold it in place), the camera stops producing those errors. These foam mounting squares (cut to size) work great: http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?prodCatType=0&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=10240
Great video, great sounds, great stills, far, action shots, zoom. This camera is great, it's just too bad the company didn't find out about the door issue.
