Summary: I got a VPC-G250 for $124 on Egghead.com. It looks just like the VPC-X350 only does 640x480 resolution. I found this camera so useful I play with it more than I play with my computer. It definately does a great job. The only roblem I saw was it was pretty limited on printing a picture size to about 3 inches X 4 inches. The VPC-X350 gives same quality with a 5 inch x 7 inch print. The trade off turns out to be speed. It is a tad slower than the VPC-G250, which seemed to shoot and process fast (.5 seconds). At $159 at Egghead.com, I figure the greater picture size for when I need to put a picture in a news bulletin and the quality sequential and movie modes is nice to have and well worth the price of the camera. For most e-mail and web pictures though, I find I tend to use the smallere resolution VPC-G250 for its greater image storage capacticty and slightly faster processing time. Strengths: both: solid camera body, multiple modes with sound, very good picture quality, simple and easy to learn and use Weaknesses: I play so much with it I seem to waste a lot of time, and boy do I go through the batteries. Though they are only $3.50 each and will last for years I figure. Similar Products Used: only have used the Sanyo digital cameras .... I have not shot a single 35mm frame since I got the Sanyo cameras. Customer Service: I have not had the need to contact them. The Sanyo digitalcamera web site has been useful though.
