Summary
I bought one of these to have a small light weight camera for a trip. I got one from one of the Ebay stores that sell openbox items, so I got a good price for basically a new camera.

The camera is small and fairly easy to use, but the photos it takes are not as sharp as with my 4MP camera. Color of the photos seems to be somewhat washed out.

I ended up giving the camera to one of my kids.

Strengths
-Small and light weight
-Easy to operate right out of the box
-Takes reasonable video that includes sound

Weaknesses
-Plastic Case looks pretty fragile (don't drop it)
-Photo quality is only fair (my Canon S40 which is only a 4MP camera takes better photos
-Must buy NiMh batteries as per instructions, because regular AA batteries will last only a few minutes.
-Terrible in low light situations, flash is nearly worthless.
-Poor color saturation of photos.
