Maybe not the best ever, but great for the money.... BIG view screen. Pix are clear, camera powers on and off fast, zoom pix look OK (not perfect). I am a pretty big fan. One issue is that a standard usb dont fit, you have to either buy a special one (got it on eBay for $7 shipped) or a memory card which is about 10 bucks. As good as my wifes $275 Kodak, maybe not, but close.
