I recently acquired this camera through a silent auction and managed to pay only $175. I didn't really know anything about and just bought it because it had 6.2 megapixels and it was cheap.

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better.
