Silk 8 days we have this digicam. and it is very easy to use. My 15 year old daughter had figured since everything from the beginning. The only difficulty I had was to buy a suitable memory card. This is not described in the manual. One should lie down a battery, otherwise you need every day 2 AA batteries. When memory card is inserted to open the batteries at the same time opening, small negative, should have separate openings. But otherwise, nice design, great pictures, for beginners recommended.
