My first digital camera. I bought this one, over other brands, because of the slider lens cover. I looked at the other brands, like Sony, and Cannon, but really didn't like the style. As for ease of use, I rate this one to be among the easiest. I did try out brands whenever I was in WalMart, or other stores that carried other brands. The screen may seem small compared to other ones, of this time frame, but as for me, it was good enough. To turn the camera on, all you need to do is slide the lens cover. Which I think is a good safety feature, but not everyone will like this, as compared to other cameras out on the market. You can view what is stored, on the xd card, by just pushing the quick view button, and then pushing the left or right buttons. As for the movie feature, I have not used it. The battery compartment, and the xd card compartment, are in two seperate compartments, which, after seeing other cameras that put them both in the same compartment, I think that I prefer this style. I have heard other cameras that have had problems with the cover not closing properly, or that you could not get the card to lock into place, after the battery was installed, or vice versa. The one area that I have problems with is the zoom button. I don't like the placement. I think that it should had been put on the inside of the picture button, and not on the outside. I gave this an overall rating of good, because I don't think there will ever be an excellent camera, in order to satisfy, even just one person. If you ever get your hands on one of these, please give it a try. I think you will be surprised...
