I recently bought a C-50 with some reservations about picture quality based on other user reviews. However, I am very pleased with this excellent little camera and the pictures have amazed my friends.The camera is easy to use and takes just a few minutes to master. The battery life is good comapared to other digital cameras I have owned.My only beef is that there is no sound on the movie mode (which takes good quality (though brief) movies.The included software is barebones, but adequate, also, the included manual is weak although there is a full one on the CD.I would certainly reccomend this camera to anyone.
