Review 2 of 3

Price Paid: $70.00 from Walmart

Summary:

Bought this for indoors point & shoot, so i didn't see the need for a zoom that goes any higher. 70mm get you close enough at 20-30 ft so save your money if you shoot mostly indoors. Have used out doors & it delivers very good pic. quality there also. All in all a very good camera for the money.

Strengths:

Good zoom Clear pics
Fits hands good, not to small Large view finder

Weaknesses:

Seems to take forever to take a pic.?? Won't sneak up on anyone with this slow thing
