Summary
A compact and rugged design. Picture quality (lens) is weak and the autofocus and autoexposure is unreliable. I would categorize this camera as an alternative to a single use camera.

Strengths
Rugged and reliable.

Weaknesses
Picture quality overall. Noisy film winder.

Summary
Before I bought this camera, I read some great reviews about it at another reviews site. But after I bought it ... Man ... What a waste of money!
It's a nice camera, small and strong. But it take regular pictures. Not all of the pictures I took in the past 3 months (30 pictures) were in focus. The last 15 developed in a different laboratory than the first 15 were all out of focus.
The flash seems weak! All the pictures I took using flash had only the main subject hit by the flash, you can see parts of the pictures with dark spots. Only a circular area with its centre in the center of the picture is really hit by it. The rest is dark. Oh, before I forget: the viewfinder is really small and it's very hard to frame pictures. When you change the size of the picture, you can barely notice that has been a change in the viewfinder.
I wish I could ask my money back!

Strengths
Small and strong. Nice design. Battery life seems ok.

Weaknesses
Pictures out of focus. Very small viewfinder (really small !!!). Weak flash, even respecting the limits informed in the user's manual. Only two focus zones.

Summary
Lousy camera that takes lousy photos, I am very upset with this camera.

Strengths
It takes 3 picture sizes. On rare occassions some pictures in very bright sunlight will come out, but very rare.

Weaknesses
Photos are very grainy, no matter what speed film you use. It won't take photos at night that are visible. It needs new batteries every few months.It just overall takes bad photos.
