"NO OPTICAL ZOOM do not be fooled by the digital zoom its useless"
Pros: its small, lithium battery life, and its small
Cons: digital zoom
Summary: bought one at walmart for 145 (160 with the tax). DO NOT used with alkaline batteries you'll get 10 photos out of it. use LITHIUM very good results. I love that it's so small i can carry it anywhere. and the integrated software makes the camera very easy to use. it even has a demo. The video feature is very good. the mic is very good at getting sounds, even when i whisper. red eye feature is stupid. i tried doing it and it ruined my pictures because the eyes turned completely black (like the african kids in kanye's video or wes borlan of limp bizkit). Better use photoshop to fix it. The digital zoom is the biggest CON with this camera. i should have researched what it meant before i bought it. digital zoom is basically the same thing when you're using photoshop and you zoom and crop a part of a photo. As you zoom the megapixels get smaller (that's a bad thing). As for the 4 megapixel quality, its very good. I resulted to just not zooming at all and i'm fine with it.
