Strengths: Affordable. Light weight. Weather-resistant
Weaknesses: No optical zoom
Summary: What I like most about this little camera is that it is light and weather-resistant. That means I can carry this camera with ease and don't need to worry about rains. It has many features considering its size and price: 4.0 MP, 6X digital Zoom, and internal 16MB memory. The only drawback is that it does not have optical zoom function. I'm satisfied with this camera in other aspects.

3 Star ReviewDecent Value for a 4MB camera
Strengths: Good photo quality, relatively cheap, weather resistant
Weaknesses: No Optical Zoom
Summary: Good entry level camera. Photo quality is about an 8 out of 10, with only much more sophisticated cameras taking better still shots in good light. Flash is adequate, but not spectacular.

1 Star ReviewI bought this camera from HP Shopping. I took like ...
Strengths: Price (cheap), Size (very small - actually is like a pocket camera)
Weaknesses: Quality, Battery Consumption, No Optical Zoom, Tiny LCD (display)
Summary: I bought this camera from HP Shopping. I took like 20 pictures and it stop working, just like that. Besides that, after only 10 pictures I got to replace the batteries; the LCD visor was just to small and you can't see any detail, just take the picture and wait until you see it in your PC to know if you took it right. Havin' no optical zoom is frustraiting, even for a novice in digital cameras, like myself. My sister paid more for a similar camera from Sony and I know why - Low price = Low Quality.

The only thing that worked good with this camera was its refund policy.

3 Star ReviewNot too shabby
Strengths: Great price and resolution
Weaknesses: Skimps a bit on the features,no optical zoom really hurts this camera
Summary: Given that I picked this camera up for about 100 dollars, it really is a great deal. It has great resolution and takes sharp pictures. The big complaint here is the lack of optical zoom. Digital zoom just can't compare with the optical. Overall, it's a good entry level camera

Strengths: Light weight easy to use.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: This is one the best camera for travel. It's light weight, fits right in your pocket, and easy to use. The silver metal all weather resistance makes the camera looks very nice. Price is very reasonable for 6 megapixel. I highly recommend this camera.

Strengths: Low price, easy to use, high quality picture
Weaknesses: No optical zoom
Summary: I bought it from staples for 100 bucks and find it is easy to use and high quality. The camera has a small size, so it is easy to carry when I am in travel. Furthermore, the picture is crystle since it is 4M resolution. It can also record video with sound (My old camera can not record sound). Strongly recommend it!

Strengths: light to carry with; slim; stylish; very easy to use
Weaknesses: NA so far
Summary: I bought the digital camera together with an Epson printer to qualify for an epson printer and camera rebate. After the rebate, I paid for less than $100 for the camera. For the price like this, I am quite happy with the digital camera. It's very convenient to carry with. The camera is light in weight and small in size. It's as small as my credit card except being a little thick than the credit card. I even can put it in my pocket. The camera is very easy to use, even for a beginner like my girl friend. She is able to figure out how to use it by herself without reading the user manual. She likes the camera and used it often on her project.

Strengths: Low price, Light weight, good picture quality
Weaknesses: No optical zoom
Summary: I purchase this camera from staples. The price is very nice, especially after my 20 off camera coupon. Its small size and light weight make it easy to carry and allow me to use basically anywhere. The picture quality is quite good. Of course, no optical zoom is a weakness while all my other digital cameras have at least 3X optical zoom. But for the price, I don't expect more.

Strengths: Cute outlook. And it is really a nice camera to keep in pocket. And the price is also good for non-professional use. 4MB is enough for fun.
Weaknesses: No optical zoom-in, that is why the price is low. Also you need to buy a lot of batteries for it.
Summary: good for kids use or emergency use maybe sporting events, it's so compact as a 4.0 MP camera.Price Performance Ratio is good for this camera. But it does have a very long lag you need to stand. Over all it is a nice camera.

Strengths: High resolution, fashionable, weather resistant
Weaknesses: No optical zoom
Summary: I bought this one month ago and I love it very much. Although it has no optical zoom, but it has a 6X digital zoom which can also meet my need. It has 4.0MP resolution, but so attempting, but for the price I got it (100 dollars) it definitely a good camera. Also it is weather resistant, so you don't need to worry that your camera can not act properly during rainy weather.

3 Star Reviewa compact camera with good quality you can have
Strengths: compact, good picture quality
Weaknesses: limited controls
Summary: On a good note one of the features that i liked was the Adaptive Lighting Technology feature. if you are taking a picture and your main subject is lit and the background is dark, then this technlogy will make the background brighter and more vivid color. This technology is great, if you are able to get a decent picture.

It's light, compact and the weather resistance is a great plus.
