This camera is literally incredible. A great price for a great digital camera. It does have a few downfalls, but they are going to happen, considering the camera is otherwise great. (1) Without a card, it holds very few pictures. On some settings, only 1. But you can get cards for $10, not a budget buster at all, especially with the low price this camera has, anywhere you go to buy it. (2) It has a slow reaction time on some settings. But it has multiple photography settings, some of which are faster, so this isn't too big of a problem. The camera has lived through being tossed around in my bag with text books, and is very sturdy. The battery has a good life if you make sure it doesn't get turned on by itself, which can happen if you're not careful, but you'd have to be extremely irresponsible to make that happen. And the pictures are incredibly clear, on the camera, uploaded to a computer, and printed. It has the following color settings included; Natural, Black & White, Sepia, Vivid, Vivid Red, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green. And about 20 scene settings which adjust lighting, focus, speed, etc. to the scene you're capturing. I love this camera!
