"A good snapshooter with a beautiful screen..." on by reaktion
Pros: easy to view screen, cool effects/shooting modes, on camera cropping!
Cons: blurry images, very sensitive to movement
Summary: While this camera is an awesome buy, don't let the pretty screen sway you away from compact cameras with image stabilization.

"Great camera for a great price" on by mathgeekgirl
Pros: large display, pdf form of full manual on cd, price, ease of use, more to come later
Cons: not exactly "weather proof" unless you buy the all weather/underwater housing for the camera
Summary: This is my second digital camera and its far better than the first one that I had. Granted my display on my first one had a much larger display but the resolution was not all that great.
For being 5.0mp and getting it for only $299.99 on QVC and then putting it on easy pay for 3 payments of $99.99 it was a great deal to me. I've seen 4mp cameras that are pricery than this one and to be honest they are not all that great.
To get the best deal on this camera you really have to shop around I found out. Not many local stores that are around me carry it so I had to find the best deal online which was not hard to do at all really.
The only CON to this camera is that they say that it is "weather proof" but, you have to buy the "weather proof" housing in addition with buying the camera. And the housing is pricey but its worth it. With buying the additional housing for the camera you can take it fishing and even go under water to take pictures. -

"NO Camera @ this price! ONLY charger & misc." on by moey311
Pros: Oh well, it was exciting thinking about what a great deal it could have been.
Cons: Clicked on "Buy Now" button and was linked to Amazon site with, AS I say, NO camera. Camera is at least a $100 plus dollars MORE.
Summary: Probably an honest mistake but BE AWARE. NO CAMERA included!
