I bought this camera for a trip to Vegas, because I knew anything expensive would get broken/lost/stolen there and I also wanted to carry as little on my person as possible. I wasn't so much interested in the picture quality as in the ability to shoot HD video on the cheapest camera I could find. On that front, the quality is pretty decent. Picture are clear, sound is good, it actually surprised me.

Photos...not so much. There is NO manual control with this thing, you have to pick one of their preset modes which either blow the ISO to ridiculous numbers resulting in a horribly grainy picture, washed out the colors, weird greenish tones, or basically everything but what you're seeing in front of you. Even in broad daylight, the camera tends to overexpose and can't get skin tones right. The focus jumps all over the place and never on what you want. There is a sunset mode, cheesy superimpose a graphic onto the photo mode, there's a pet mode that wants you TO SELECT THE COLOR OF YOUR PET. That pretty much says it all; this camera is for people who think webcam quality pictures are good enough and aren't able to handle anything other than AUTO mode.

I learned my lesson, I should have paid the money to replace my broken Canon PowerShot instead of taking a gamble on something cheap.
