from CompUsa Summary: I use this primarily for taking progress photos at my jobsite and I've used this camera for about 2 years now. The durability of the housing has really proven itself out here... this camera's been dropped, bumped, scraped, and scarred, and is still going strong! It's just the right size for me. The zoom comes in handy. The preview screen is pretty good. The 2.2 megapixels are plenty for our purpose here... I use it at the medium resolution setting and I've blown up the shots to print on 8x10 without major grain problems. I don't print on photo paper, but regular printer paper on a non-photo (HP 1220c) printer at normal quality. I had a 16mb card but just bought a 32 Mb card (72 pics!) and I like that much better. After about 3 years of use the batteries (rechargeable CE) are starting to die (i.e. loosing charge quickly).
This is a great model for someone just starting out in digital photography. It has the basic features pretty well covered, but I haven't tried the other features yet. It is more expensive than some others in the same range. Strengths: Size, quality of photos, durability, medium resolution is pretty good. Weaknesses: It's a little on the heavy side when you fit it in your pocket... the batteries add to that. Similar Products Used: Nikon N80
