Definitely worth it if you are looking for a very good quality picture output for an incredble price!

Not for keen photographers though - you can't set your own focus, and the battery drainage apparently is very high - but for that price you cannot complain, especially with an optical zoom! :j

Can do better at Tesco, last night bought a 5MP camera with 4x digital zoom, takes sd memory but has some inbuilt for £39.98 reduced from £59.99 - absolute bargain.

Which brand?

DonGotti

Yes, but it doesn't have OPTICAL zoom which means that when you zoom in there won't be a deterioration in picture quality, which is the case when you use digital zoom.

I don't think you can conclude that you'll get a very good quality picture just because of 5 megapixels. The megapixel value is the simplistic figure (like MHz for PC processors) used to dupe a non-technical audience. If the lens is not up to it, you'll not get the quality however many megapixels you have. (In fact, the more you have, the worse the picture will be in low light conditions.)

I guess it'll look good to someone used to cameraphones though!
