    CNET Review

    July 19, 2007

    The Good: Optical viewfinder; relatively quick performance.

    The Bad: Thick and ugly design; poor image quality; must half-press shutter before shooting to ensure focus.

    The Bottom Line: Despite its low price, give this clunky, uncomfortable camera a pass.
