        I had this camera for 2 years..I think it is only worth $140-$150 or so given that it always worked poorly in low-light, It only takes great shots outdoors in the morning or sun light, otherwise it takes really poor quality pictures..unrealistic details with flash on..overall, I am not happy with this one and I am looking for an alternative now.
