I've token about 1000 picture's with this camera, and I still like it. You're taking more photo's because it(s small enough to keep it with you when you want. No more weight and place as needed from now on. Quality is very good, especially for the price. Here in Europe the camera is not that expensive (350 dollar), so bying it at amazon.com is maybe not that sheep.... though... you should buy it if you like carrying your camera whereever you go...
