"There are two things in the specs that indicate that the camera is unlikely to make good pics:

. At this time the CMOS type sensor is not good in a low priced camera. This technology is expensive when done correctly (as in expensive d-SLR's), but the low priced versions are not good.

Look for a "CCD" type sensor.

. This camera only offers digital zoom. This means it zooms by "stretching" a picture, rather than actually magnifying it.

Look for "Optical" zoom.

But you do not have to get too "pricey" to get a decent starter camera. Lots of places have models of name brand cameras for $100 to $150.

Some have fewer features or are older models. But they will still have 3 MP's, CCD sensors and Optical Zooms. And they will take attractive pics for you.

Take some time and go shopping!

Good Luck"
