Summary of Content
Another buy, due to coolness and also as it was 2nd hand from e-bay a couple of years ago for £50.
The quality of the pictures and lack of zoom makes the camera not as useful as a full-sized / featured camera, but as a fun-cam this camera serves its purpose very well.
Make sure your eyesight is up to viewing the small screen, because there is no viewfinder. (2mpx).
