 Great Product, Great Service January 9, 2009
This camera is very easy to use. I picked it because it was a little bigger than the slim cameras which are easy to drop.

 point and shoot for grandma January 8, 2009
We have another model and bought this as a gift for my 80 year old mother who had expressed an interest in a digital camera. (And also purchased some rechargeable batteries and a recharger). It is not a pocket size, but it is pretty small.
It seems to take fine pictures for her purposes. With a short hands-on experience, she is comfortable with it. Despite a little arthritis in her hands, she can open the battery/SD card compartment to change batteries or take the card out for reading on her computer. We chose it because it had a view finder as well as the screen. (I appreciate using the viewfinder when I don't have my reading glasses handy since then I can't focus well on any 'screen'. I imagined that the same would apply for my mother).
It can be a little slow in taking pictures, but from our experience with another model, that will be alleviated when we get a fast (class 6) SDHC card for her. It came with a 512MB card that was nothing special. It would be sensible to upgrade that as soon as possible with something like a 4 or 8GB class 6 card and high speed card reader.
The only thing I do not like (perhaps I just didn't read the manual carefully enough to figure it out) is I cannot change the stored image names to a more unique and identifiable naming scheme that uses the date in the name. The best I can do is specify that it never reuse a number over, but it starts at img_0001.jpeg and goes from there.
Great gift idea January 8, 2009
I bought this item as a gift idea for my girlfriend who is a real shutterbug. I'm not very versed in the whole digital camera craze, but after reading the other reviews of this product I decided this was the way to go. The camera has proved to be easy to use and takes great photos. A larger memory card purchase has ensured this will be a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.
Gift for my wife January 8, 2009
This my wife's first digital camera. For someone who tends to avoid new technology, she really likes it. She likes that it has a view finder because she is not comfortable holding it away from her face and just looking at the lcd screen. She also likes that it uses AA batteries so that she can bring extras whith her instead of having to plug the camera into a charger. She has only used it indoors so far, but the photos are very clear and the lighting is perfect. Her old camera was fine outside in natural light, but the indoor photos were poor. That makes this camera a hit for her. She needed a little help figuing out the timer, but since we have teens in the house, they showed her what to do. I really like that it uses SD cards because they are much less expensive than the Memory Sticks used by the Sony. If you leave the camera set for max resultion (8MP) the memory cards can fill up quicker than you think.
