This is a fun camera. I upgraded the 8MB SmartMedia card to a 64MB SmartMedia card and decovered you go from taking 100+ pictures to 999+ Pictures. Additionally, this camera does video. With the 8MB card that comes standard you can do a 1.5 minute video at medium resolution or a 3 minute video at low resolution. High resolution is only available when it's attached to the computer. With the 64MB SmartMedia card the video record time is grealy increased. I discovered I will use up the batteries before I run out of video.The downside to the camera is any movement in the camera or the object being photographed can cause the picture to blur or come out a bit grainy. There is no real problem in video mode. But like I said it's a fun day-to-day camera that will provide lots of enjoyment especially if you buy the 64MB card or higher.
