Strengths: Storage (Burns direct to mini-CD), feature-heavy for an inexpensive camera, big LCD display
Weaknesses: Takes several seconds to write to CD, Bulky/Heavy for this level of camera
Summary: The #1 reason to by this camera is the ability to write to a mini-CD. It's a fantastic feature that always seems to wow the average person when they see me swap cds or ask me about the camera. It allows you to have have nearly unlimited space for pictures, and instantly creates an archive of your photos. Mini-CDs are so cheap (about 40 cents) that you can swap CDs for every occasion without feeling the need to fill them all the way. I bought a spindle of 50 and box of cases for them and I haven't used them all in 9 months of owning the camera.
Weight:
This camera takes quality pictures, but not professional or anything close, meaning its practical for the average user. However, it has the weight of a much more expensive camera, which makes it less a little less practical for holding carrying around to places. You can't exactly stuff this one in your pocket.
Load/Save:
When taking pictures, the save delay is several seconds, which on occasion has been annoying, but usually not an issue. The same is true for viewing pictures after you take them. Several seconds to load, even if you're looking at a photo that you didn't just snap.
Other than that, I have been very happy with the camera. It has a ton of features for adjusting photos that have been useful. I'd recommend this camera if there is a benefit for you in having the Mini-CD option. For me, it allows me to snap photos when I travel (long trips) and email or post them at virtually any computer with an internet hookup, without need for cables, software, or the right port.
