This imported camera is not a bad choice.  I purchase it several months ago.  I am not 100% happy with it, but probably 85% happy.  The pros are the very large 2.5" LCD screen, very clear and bright.  What you see is what you get, no more looking through the view finder.  The re-chargable Li-Ion battery is really good.  Lasts a long time, beats having to replace batteries.  I use a 512MB sd flash card and can view all the photos or videos stored on the card for hours on one charge.  Taking photos or even videos on one charge is great!  The fact that this camera is not just a photo taker, BUT also a video maker, is a huge plus.  I shot a couple of videos with this camera and uploaded them to google videos for all my friends to see.  Good sound too.  Or you can also use it as a digital voice recorder.  SO three things in one, camera, camcorder and voice recorder ... not bad.

CONS:  You must hold the camera steady or the shots will be blurry and there is about a one second delay or less.  When placed on a solid surface and the timer is used, then this is not a problem.  The buttons may seem awkard as well.  Now that I've used it several months, the buttons are sometimes hard to push.  Sometimes, if the lighting is too bright, I've noticed the colors in the image appear brighter than normal, this can be fixed using the EV-shift.

This camera has MANY useful functions.  To name a few are:  capture shots in single or continuous frames.  White balance effects such as tungsten and fluorescent or just auto.  Auto flash, compulsion or red eye removal or always off.  EV-shift.  Color or Black and White photos. Five different resolution setttings from 1mb 1024x768 up to 12mb 4000x3000.

I would say the biggest negative is the blurry shots.  Hold it steady though and you will have nice photos or cool videos.  Not a bad choice for a not so expensive digital camera.  The best feature, the rechargeable battery, hands down better than buying batteries.  Second best feature, the large LCD screen... and finally, the fact that you can record digital videos with audio, pretty cool.
