[size=large]Just got it today, I don't even know how to use it yet. I got it for the great close-ups it takes ~ or so I read. Here's my first 2 pictures, I think I like it. Payed $37.00 for it so I bought another one for a couple bucks more.

Here's what the guy said on another forum about the camera; [size=large] "You know I own about 8 cameras they range in price from about $200 - $1000. The one I use the most - especially for my closeups is an old Sony Cybershot DSC-S50 - 2.1 megapixel
Which now is my least expensive camera - I like it so much i was afraid that I would be screwed if it broke - that I found a used one in excellent shape on ebay for under $100 and bought it - so I have a back up.
You can pick one up used for under $100 if you look around
One of the reasons that it takes better closeup pics than some others - Is because I am magic! - Just kidding - it's lens is larger and allows more light than alot of the other small digitals out there. More light in helps better focus. About 4yrs ago I bought my girlfriend a 5.1 megapixel Sony - I figured I would borrow it now and then and maybe get even better pics - Wrong! - Hers cost twice as much as mine did new - I think I paid for hers $499 back then - hers had over twice as many megpix as mine - hers had closeup feature - BUT her lens is half as small as mine - Hers takes aweful closeups - I tried it in all types of lighting and situatuons - no good."
