WOW We bought this camera for our son for his 10th B-DayWe took it on vacation. He took pictures then could lookat them on the big screen on the back. The thrill of his owncamera. Yes it is larger digital but easy to hang on to.Ok it does use batteries fast but always buy regular alkalineand not any other type. Follow that and buy a memory card reader to download the pictures and your set. I have looked around and in the price range of 200.00 and less this is the best of them all.Great for the kids and don't for get there friends.Would you buy one camera for the whole familyto use, including their friends or this one they can takewith to the park, have fun and let their friends use.:)
