ixrayu05 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's a great deal!! I bought the same camera, except 7.2 megapixels in bundle about two weekends ago for $200. I wanted something small that I could carry in my purse, so I would be able to take pics of my daughter at any time! It also works nice If you buy a high speed memory card so that you can take a lot of pictures one right after the other. The only thing I would have to mention is that you need a special memory card, I got a 2g high speed one for 39.99 at best buy! I hope this helps:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey62 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Is this camera easy to use, navigate buttons, etc? You say it needs a special memory card, 2gb card cost $40. Need my first time digital camera and ease of use if a must. Thanks for your input.. It's a great deal!! I bought the same camera, except 7.2 megapixels in bundle about two weekends ago for $200.
