    Strengths:    Lightwieght, Amazing Pictures, Mpeg recording with sound(which is extremely cool esp. if youve got like a 256 card)

    Weaknesses:    none!

    Bottom Line:   
    This has got to be the best thing that ive ever bought. I take it everywhere and take pictures of everything, very fun to use and easy. This seriously is a great piece of technology at its best and for a surprisingly low price for 3.2megapixels and mpeg recording with sound. The menu has tons od features like resizing, take b&w photos, chop up movies, multiburst, tons of stuff!

    Strengths:    Memory stick to 256MB capibility. In camera edit crop and rotate features. MEPG Movie and sound feature is very nice!

    Weaknesses:    Don't like auto open and close lens cap due to possible failure. Camera needs ability to add skylite filer to protect lens.

    Bottom Line:   
    I needed a small light weight digital camera for my motorcyle trips and this camera fits the bill. Great pictures for the size and cost. A lot of nice features.

    Strengths:    light weight, great video option and you dont even have to look through the camera hole to take pictures. The screen itself has options of cross-hairs or a box to center the area or people that you are taking a picture of.

    Weaknesses:    Have to wait about 3 seconds to take another picture.

    Bottom Line:   
    This is a great camera for beginners up to experts. The quality of pictures are great. A very mobile camera and my girlfriend and I love it.

    Strengths:    small , light and great quality for the price

    Weaknesses:    only has digital zoom but it has worked amazingly well. Unless you really are demanding this will work for most needs

    Bottom Line:   
    I bought this camera for my daughter to use at school. I must say for a camera of this price it is a joy to use. In one word simple. Yet, the pics are simple. If you looking for a very reasonably priced camera, small, liht and yet with very high quality pics. This is for you. If you have a Sony Vaio compute and it has a memory stick drive then you are in for a real treat in simplicty. A great buy.
