Samsung PL20

Very easy to use. Good all rounder for all point and clickers. If your looking for a starter camera or upgrading from an old one then this is a very good choice, gives good quality photos in its price range and wont break the bank.

No real complaints at this price you get a reasonable little camera. Anyone complaining about build quality should think about spending more money.
