I decided to buy this product (Praktica SlimPix Digicam 5mp) as i needed a cheap bargain on a camera to take to reading festival - my last one got a bit destroyed. I thought from the description it was an adequate solution.
I thought it was well presented, looks better from the pictures. However the initial startup of the camera almost kills off the batteries in less then 10 seconds. From the little use of what i can get out of it its decent, but the battery issue (AAA batteries) is quite severe, as even with decent duracells/energizers it does not last long.
I shall be selling it on as my phone is better on battery life and image stabilizer.
