Excellent – We bought this cannon over the big zoom cannon as I we were heading to India and wanted to throw this into my handbag and not have to worry about having a "camera case" everywhere we went. We took over 1000 photos easily with the 2.0gb card that we bought when we bought the camera. My sister is a professional photographer and bought this camera also when she was heading overseas recently. This is a brilliant camera - buy a 2.0gb card and also a rechargeable battery device so you don't have to worry about buying batteries for this little baby! If you use normal batteries, like any digital camera, you will be annoyed with buying so many - get a rechargeable battery pack when you buy.
