I thought, that even though box size is a like a half of "Cornflakes" pack, but there is nothing inside, cause it weights not more than few hundreds of grams.

However, the sotware that allows you to edit pictures is again very simple to use, with cropping, resolution imrovement, light adjustment, red eye removal and changing between colour, black and white and sepia. The only disadvantages I have found are the lack of an optical zoom, the small amount of storage on the camera itself, and the small size of pictures you can create on the printer.... Read review
