I would be really leary about buying that, It seems like its some off brand generic camera if anything happens to it and you need support for it you will probably be SOL. Also digital zoom is garbage you want optical zoom.

12mp don't mean jack when the sensor is that tiny... I can get better pix out of a 6mp with a bigger lens.
Run like a river when the snow melts =P

Might be okay to have if you want a disposable digital camera to have with when your on a motorcycle or whatever, not going to take any magazine quality shots for you though.

don't waste your money. I am GUARANTEE its garbage. Buy a name brand camera. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a camera that takes nice shots.

Looks like a cheap Chinese knock off. As a suggestion while you are shopping visit dpreview.com. You can check out how different brands rate and how they performed when tested. Excellent site for anyone that is looking to buy.

I got my gf a Kodak 7.1 MP camera with 10x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom at best buy for $250 bucks. It takes awesome pictures!

Why's that? I have a new Kodak and it seems to work pretty damn good.

I have always had bad luck with them, I guess its more of a personal opinion but I think USUALLY there is better for the money. Like Canon, for example :-P

Kodak has gotten better but they still lag behind other manufactorers regarding chip sensors and overall digital camera technology. However that is not to say your camera is crap. As long as you are happy with it and works for what you need it for that is what counts.:thumbsup
