Avoid this camera
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 29/10/2009
Don't be fooled by the cheap price. The camera takes reasonably good pictures and has lots of options, however the batteries it uses are normal AA style and we have found it lasts for a very short period of time, before the camera says "low battery" and stops working. Using Alkaline batteries means it lasts slightly longer, but due to the cost, most people will use nicads and we are getting a maximum of about 10 minutes of use before it fails. Aviod the camera
