lots of great features......the panoramic pics are really cool,but you kinda have to use a tripod or stand to get good clarity...auto mode takes fantastic pictures...amazing clarity...gave it 4 *'s only because it eats batteries like tic-tacs.....all in all,a good buy,glad i got it!

This camera takes very good pictures and has so many options. The battery does go dead after about 20-30 pictures, but I purchased the battery and charger from Wal-Mart for about $17. The battery is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars. Worth the money.

I purchased for my teen daughter for Christmas and she loves it. Takes quality pictures and is the perfect size. I did not give a "5" star only because replacing the batteries non-stop. The flex-pay made it an easy and reasonable purchase.

I purchased this G.E. Camera right before Christmas and was very happy with it. The price was good,the picture quality "GREAT", I have never ever regretted getting this little camera! I also like the size of it, for dropping into my purse and having it available for any occasion. You certainly won't go wrong getting this one... I'd give this a 5 star rating anyday! P.S. All the features are wonderful too. "Happy in Indiana"

This camera is excellent for a point and shoot digital. The pictures are crystal clear and the battery usage is the same as any other digital camera, bring extra if you will be using it all day. The face and smile recognition is an awesome feature in all of our family photos everyone is now smiling!

got mine for family member, still decided to buy rechargable batteries, It has been a wonderful camera and the clarity is awesome! buyer needs to understand it will drain regular batteries fast, so just invest in rechargeables

I have had this camera for over 3 weeks now. My family and I have had a ball with this camera. We love, love, love! It does use quite a bit of batteries, but it is well worth the memories I am capturing!!

It does suck up the battery life fairly quickly, but the trick not to "review" the pictures.That function alone sucks up lots of battery life in ALL digital cameras.I bought an Easy Share and paid $179 and it took horrible pictures and broke in 5 mos. I love my GE. I took great pictures at the circus in the dark.

I am so happy with this camera. I have had several digital cameras over the past few years and have had nothing but problems with each one until now. I was leary since the price was so good (was a todays special value) but I could not be happier now. I have had problems using cameras before but this one is so easy to use. I wanted a easy to use great quality camera since we have our first grandchild. I could not be happier. Thank you also for the easy pay.

I bought two for gifts and one for myself. The battery usage is unreal. I bought a battery charger, went to my nephew's birthday party and went through three sets of batteries in an hour and half of pictures. Picture quality is nice though. However, I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this camera and most of them also complained of battery usage. I will never ever probably buy another GE product, but definitely will keep purchasing from HSN.

I ordered the gold color that was one of the Today's Specials.
I received it before Christmas and I am so glad that I bought this little camera.
It is pretty and it takes excellent picutres. I have other cameras that have a bigger zoom. However this camera has so many more features and is easier to keep with you because of its size and I must add that it is easy to use.
I would recommend this camera to anyone. I love my little camera!!! :)

This camera does take great pictures. However the battery usage is terrible.It is a big hassle to be changing batteries so frequentely. I also bought the battery charger and it only charges 50% of the way. Big Big struggle to keep camera in batteries.

Okay now, I have no idea what these other reviews are talking about, they must have gotten defective ones, I mean yea the batteries with mine were a little slow, but so what I picked up some rechargeable ones and problem solved. The features on the camera are GREAT! It looks adorible! I love it, totaly worth the money.

This camera is pretty good. Not great, but I'm keeping it. It is a bit slow, but I can live with that. They have this same exact camera at Sears for the same price, so the TS was nothing special other than the flex-pay option.
As for the batteries, you need to buy ENERGIZER ULTIMATE LITHIUM which are specifically made to last 8X longer in Digital cameras. I put the batteries in around Christmas time, and it is now Jan. 7th and the camera still shows full battery life.

Bought the camera for my Mom for XMAS, battery life very.....short. Needed to replace the batteries every time the camera wanted to be used, turned on. Camera was sent back and requesting a refund. After reading all the reviews, sounds like the camera is defective. Very disappointed in the product and HSN.

This is one sharpe looking camera,yet batteries are not included.@ the price for the camera -memory card,who has extra $ for batteries?By the time blink detection let's you know to retake photo, you may as well ask them to stay wide eyed and wait for you to come back from the store for batteries.

I love the camera and it's features and it took great pictures however, I will only have half the memories for Christmas as I seemed to have needed a six pack of batteries! I understand that I could have gotten the rechargeables but I think that at this rate, it would be too annoying. So, it's going back. I have an Olympus that has a rechargeable lithium battery that works great but doesn't have the same features!
