I got this camera today and bought it from newegg.com. Sophisticated look and very slim but has a good fit to hold. Good pictures result for outdoor shootings and have a strong flash for indoor picture taking. Nice feature also including face recognition technology and digital shake reduction. 8 megapixels and good zoom. For a little over 100 bucks this camera is an awesome camera.

Excellent Camera
Strengths: Large LCD, small size, excellent picture quality and clarity
Weakness: None so far...
I just purchased this camera last week and have not taken very many pictures yet, but the ones I have taken have been very clear and crisp. The camera does not come with any memory so be sure to order a SD card when you buy the camera or you will have to wait to take pictures until you get one.
