Pros Easy menu, nice pictures, great price!(with rebate)
Cons Significant red eye!
Recommended it? Yes

Caveats, I'm not a professional photographer nor do I have a lot of experience with digital. I have been using those really cheap vga cams, w/o LCD's as I can give them to the kids w/o worry.

Poor quality

Pros cheap
Cons really cheap
Recommended it? No

This camera just stopped working after 3-4 months of use. The battery recharge mechanism didn't work from the start.
