Opinion: It's been five years I use the camera. Pictures are good considering it is a 2 MP camera. Automatic white balance tends to produce blueish pictures in lower light, manual setting significantly improves it. It has optical viewfinder !

Problems: Fixed ISO 100 makes it impossible to use in low light. Flash is weak. Internal battery for camera settings backup while main AA bateries are replaced has failed after three years. Apart from that no problems so far.

Opinion: A good camera to have always with,

I bought the 203 to have it in situations when i do not want to carry my S2 Pro with me.
Image quality is good and it has some features that i miss with other 2MPIX cams (EV-Control !!, Change of White-balance).The Display is sharp and bright enough to see something on sunny days. The Viewfinder is really good, it
also shows the zoom-factor.
All in all a good value for money product, even when you get it used on ebay

Opinion: This is my first digital camera and it's fantastic for a beginner! Bought it about 2 months ago from an ebay seller for £188 inc 64mb card and case!! what a great deal, when the camera alone in the shops was £230 at the time. Takes great pics, easy to use. Definately recommend it although can't really compare it to any other digital camera as its my first.

Problems: As everyones commented, takes blurry pics without the flash (so avoid doing so) and the shutter speed is a bit slow but this is a problem with most digital cameras (so i've heard)

Opinion: I bought this camera six months ago, and I paid some 330 euros for it. Now its price dropped to some 200, and it is really great value for money. It is very compact, runs on 2 alkaline or NiMH batteries, and comes with 16 MB xD Picture card (one of the smallest card in physical sizeon the market, very fast, too). I find this camera best to use with automatic features (on "point and shoot" basis). Very good pictures in daylight, but poor quality in low-light ambient when you don't use flash (this is due to its fixed ISO ratings of 100, and min shutter speed of 1/2 sec). Overall, with some 1000 photos already taken with this camera, I am very satisfied and ready to forget some features it misess.

Opinion: Image quality is VERY good when you use flash. However, things get very bad when you don't use the flash. 95% of the pics i took end up being blur. Guess the ISO 100 only sensor plus a shaky hand cause it.

Problems: Pics blur when not using flash.

Opinion: It's a fantastic camera for those who are just beginning to learn photography. However, if you require more than just the normal snap-and-go kind of pictures, this isn't really the camera for you. I got this value for money and it works well, but as a keen amateur photographer, i certainly need a lot more features than this camera can offer.

Problems: I photographed a pen from 25 cm away on cloudy morning conditions in my room. I tried all 4 image quality settings and every single one of them looked blurry. I WANT TO DO MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY AND THIS JUST WON'T DO. :) There I've said my piece.

Opinion: I just recently bought this camera and must say it offers a lot for the money it costs. Image quality is pretty good in all conditions, battery life is very long, and software shipped with the camera is very user-friendly. Would recommend it to all amateur photographers and beginners.
