i like this camera. ive had it since december 2002. i took it with me when i traveled (6 months all over europe) and it never left my pants pocket. ive dropped in hundreds of times (right on the lens element once) and it still works perfectly. it makes some strange noises every once in awhile, but perfect other than that. ive cleaned the lens once and should probably clean it again. its been a great companion to my nikon fe and has taught me a lot about composition through trial and error.

Problems:

i would like more features in this camera, ie aperture, shutter speed, etc. exposure comensation just isnt enough. the noise on this camera is pretty high even at iso 50. i shoot in some pretty dark environments and using the flash isnt an option (for so many reasons). the flash is too much. the quality of images is not so great (dont play the megapixels game). but you know what? for how small the camera is and how much fun ive had with it, i cant say there's a better camera in its market.
