This is an awful camera! I have had ALL the problems discussed in the below reviews - they didn't start immediately, but within a few months, I was experiencing them all! I wish I had read these reviews before I wasted $200. I consider the camera a throw-away! I would have rated this camera a ZERO if that was an option. Customer Review: Gigantic piece of crap

I'm on my THIRD camera.
The first one (bought from Best Buy) worked nicely for 4 months, then started alternately showing "No Card" and "Card Error" errors despite a variety of batteries and memory cards. Gateway took that one back, ruled it faulty, and sent me a new one.
The second camera has lasted less than 2 weeks. It makes noices like it's going to take a picture but never takes a picture. Plus the camera dial is all screwed up. Half of the positions on the dial show something else. For example, the "Movie" dial position shows the setup screen instead.
I've sent the second one back to Gateway, they've ruled it faulty, and are in the process of sending me a THIRD camera.
Do not buy this camera! Spend the extra $50 and get something that isn't going to break all the time.
Customer Review: Too many problems
Summary: 1 Stars
When this camera works, it's great. Problem is, it seldom works, at least not for more than 8 or 10 pictures. Nearly every time I use it I get sporadic, random error messages that render the camera unusable. These include "No card," "Protected card," and "Error 5." Some combination of turning the camera on and off several times, or removing the battery or memory card usually causes the error to disappear. But who wants to be doing that all the time?
I am returning the camera for repairs. But based on the poor advice I have received from Gateway supprt, I don't have much faith that repairs will be successful.
Customer Review: I love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fabulous camera. I've had it for about 9 months now, and it's served me well. The only downfall is how quick the battery dies, but that happens with many other digital cameras, as well. When purchased, I upgraded to a higher memory card. The included one is fine, but I take a lot of pictures, so for me, it was worth it. The camera is extremely sturdy. I've dropped it several times, and although it has a few scratches, it still works perfectly. It's light weight and small, without being lost. My only tip for users would be: when preparing to take a picture, hold the button half way down, so the camera can fully adjust, wait a second, and then take the picture. Sometimes you just press down and immediately take the picture, it focuses on the wrong area. But, overall, I really like this model.
