This camera was designed with simplicity in mind - you slide it open to switch it on, press the button to take a shot, and slide it shut to switch it off. That's pretty much it. It's very very simple to use, and is of a high build quality. The brushed metal housing means the camera could easily survive a journey in the bottom of a bag. It charges itself up fully in around 3 hours whilst attached to your computer. | | The pictures at the hi-res setting (1280x1024) are of a good quality in various light conditions; they are perfect for displaying on screen, and will print at an acceptable level too. The camera will store around 45 shots at hi-res, and 140-odd at low res (640x480, which is fine for web use, but no good for printing). | | All in all this camera would be ideal for taking random shots whilst out on the move, or for a drunken night out on the town (there's not much worry of breaking the camera). It's ease of use would make it ideal even for children. It's smaller than a mobile phone, and way ahead of a phone camera's picture quality. | | The only niggle I have come across so far is that the flash isn't very long range, anything over 6 feet away will be very dark under low lighting. | | The simplistic design and operation, coupled with the credit-card size and the metal housing, means I can take this camera everywhere and not worry about how to use it, or whether it can withstand being knocked about. The picture quality is great for such a small simple camera, and in the right conditions, would rival mid to high range cameras at the same resolution. |
