The software supplied allows to select all fotos and at a single press of a button removes photos with the red eye problems in low lighting conditions.

Two settings are available for taking video with sound, the higher the setting the better the moving quality and virtually no loss of resolution when you have a proII memory card so it can write/read quickly. 1GB card records continous 8minutes of higher quality recording . This pictures is digital quality similar to largers handheld cam corders except it lacks the quality in the sound area, and its the best movie quality over earlier models or for that fact other snap and shoot products on the market when this model came out.
I generally have short 1 minutes clips and then can edit this (within the camera) to make the best of the moments.

There is also a manual setting for fast action/kidds playing snaps which i find adequate, but obviously not to Pro cameras standards.

Start up is quick and the self timer set with multiple pictures option was fun to use whilst i was on the Alps.

The motion capture facility is very good and records good sound too although a little tinny at high frequencies.

Remember to buy a large memory card, the 32MB may not be enough.

Personally I reached the limit of the 3x zoom lens very quickly. A higher zoom factor would have been good, at this price point it is achieved by other cameras. However, this is compensated by the digital zoom.

The AI focus facility is a mixed blessing, although this can be disabled in favour of standard focus.

If you're intending to take this camera into a place where flash-photograph maybe prohibited. Then look else where. This model I found has focusing issues when the flash is disabled. I have yet to get a decent result indoors without a flash. For these shots I still use my analogue SLR.

With that said I would still recommend this camera.
