Review:

I ordered this item around noon time of Dec 19, with a 2-day dilevery. The system kept on telling me that I should be able to receive this item by Dec 21. We needed this camera badly for our family snow trip (Noon, Dec. 22 – 26) since our old camera was broken by accident. UPS did not deliver this item until 5:30pm of Dec. 22.

I felt very disappointed that we had no camera during the trip!!!

I tried this item after I came back from our trip. I like the product in general. The picture quality is quite reasonable for the price.
