Even if one not smile, the picture is good - at least good quality! A real pleasure to shoot with this camera. The connection used for downloading (USB) computer also plugs into an electrical outlet provided for battery charging. Practice. ATTENTION! This device requires a MICRO chip / memory card for images and not a normal card. No map, I could take a picture before the memory is full. Fortunately, I had expected the MMC. We need a broader standard cases the Amazon. I know because I made the mistake. Can recommend this device. Even if you do not smile, the picture is great - at least the quality of the picture! A real pleasure to take pictures with this camera. The cord supplied for downloading (USB) to a computer aussi comes with an electrical plug (in my case French) for recharging the battery. Practical. BEWARE! This camera needs a chip card for MICRO icts not an ordinary memory and memory card. Without the micro card, I Was only reliable to take one picture. Luckily, I Had the micro card at hand. You need a camera case larger than Amazon's standard camera case. Because I know I made the error of buying the standard one first. I am happy to recommend this camera.
