First of all, it doesn't have 6 megapixels. The word interpolated, which they so conveniently put in parenthesis, means that it has less. The specs don't say how many megapixels this camera actually has - just that it will create as much padding as it needs to make it seem like 6. It's like a lazy student handing in a 6 page assignment, when in fact he has 2 pages of text that he double spaced and put in an insanely large font. Heck, if you make the margins a bit bigger and include some gratuitous pages for an index and bibliography, you can turn 2 pages worth of text into a 10 page report. With cameras, that called interpolation. Also, this camera only has digital zoom. Digital zoom is bad for image quality. Reputable brands offer digital zoom as a gimmick, on top of optical zoom. Optical zoom is the good kind. And if you can't find reviews for a camera, that's another bad sign. Stick to name brands like Canon, Olympus, Panasonic, etc. If you're shopping and you see something you like, here are two great review sites: http://www.steves-digicams.com/hardware_reviews.html http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/default.asp?view=alpha Just by reading the specs you’ve provided, I can tell you this camera is garbage.
