I have owned a few digital cameras before and hands down, this is the worst of all. The zoom was messed up after a couple of months of purchasing and the red-eye reduction never worked. Adding to that, the customer service was horrible. It took the service people almost 2 months to tell me that I need to pay to get the camera fixed, even though the camera was still under warranty and it was the camera's fault. I was not provided with any explanation as to why I need to pay to get it repaired and never heard back from them. I may have used this camera for 3 months and never got good pictures out of it. It used to shut down by itself. At first I thought it was the batteries but that was not the case. Stay away from this camera.
