I ditto everyone's experiences--except for the one positive one. I bought this before there were any other reviews on it. The battery died, it doesn't focus well (learned this after my husband took pictures of my newborn son, minutes after birth), it puts dates on pictures when I don't have that mode selected (and the wrong dates to boot--it doesn't store the date after I set it), and the viewfinder is off-center, so you end up cutting people's heads off. I'm very dissatisfied, and customer service is horrible. I wish I'd never bought a product from this company. I certainly will never buy another one.
