Excellent Compact Digital Camera

bysenchang Dec 11, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, quality of pictures, design
Cons Dock required to upload to PC.
Recommended it? Yes

UPDATE 11/26/2009: I've owned this camera for over a year now, and I can only say that I'm still thrilled by it.
