Advantages It's cheap. Disadvantages You'd know that it's cheap!
..., and tend to be very cautious when purchasing something in order to make sure I’m getting the very best value for my hard earned spondoolicks.
So when I spotted an advert in the newspaper for Power City (a local Irish electrical superstore) offering a 3.1 megapixel resolution digital camera for only €99, then I was tempted to say the least. In fact, so tempted was I that I immediately got in the car and went up with two €50 notes in my pocket and bought it instantly, as it was the best price I had seen for a camera offering this amount of resolution.

A huge mistake, as any of you who have read my review of the product will know! Fortunately, my wife (devious soul that she is) managed to reinsert the camera back into its original packaging and returned it to the discount warehouse where we purchased it. NOT a full refund I might add (unhappily) but at least we got a credit note from them that we can use in the future. I'm permanently stuck with the 64Mgb memory card I bought for the Creative camera though, (about €50) as it wont...
