Manufacturer description
If you want a simple digital camera that can still produce high quality results, then you can do no better than the Revio KD-220Z. Despite being very light, compact and easy to use, it's packed with useful functions and is remarkably versatile. For example, it has an optical 3x zoom lens. Impressive enough, but you can couple that with a digital 2x zoom and get a powerful 6x zoom performance. Switch to Macro mode and you can get incredible sharpness from as close as 10cm. The KD-220Z offers flash modes for every situation. You can leave it on AUTO. You can override it with Flash ON, when you want to fill in daylight shadows. You can opt for Flash OFF if flash is not allowed, or you want to capture a low-lit, moody effect. At night, Slow Synchro will give you a flash to light close portraits while combining that with a slow shutter to expose the background. And speaking of portraits, Red-eye Reduction makes everyone look more attractive! A useful 8MB memory is built in, but the KD-220Z also takes SD Memory Cards up to 128MB capacity. You'll find that the bright 1.6 inch TFT color LCD monitor gives excellent viewing. However, a USB cable is supplied so that you can also review your photos on a PC. Normally, automatic exposure is all you need to select. But you can choose the manual brightness correction if you'd prefer your subject a little brighter or darker. It's the final touch for the perfect picture. And if you use the Self-timer, that can include you!User opinions

Worked well at first
Pros: Easy to use, good price for features. Took nice pictures at first.
Cons: Picture quality went way down after use. They became very grainy and blury. Battery life is really short. Movie feature does not have sound. We found the only way to save batterys was to turn off the LCD.
