Just my personal opinion ---- for what it is worth.

1. Without an eye level viewfinder I would not even consider any camera.
2. It does not have an optical zoom, only digital which is inferior.
3. There is no mention of shutter lag which has probably spoiled more digital pictures than anything else.
4. Built in battery? That means the camera cannot be used while the battery is charging.

I think you must do a lot more shopping. There are much better cameras on the market at similar prices.

You can pick up a KODAK Easyshare camera like I have for less than $150.00 that will take decent photos.
I got mine at Walmart with Docking Station for $169.97. The Docking Station hooks up to my computer and comes with a CD, as well as charging the battery.

Ditto all the above. And at 3MP you're not going to be happy with the images you get with that for long. Suggest looking around at Digital Camera Review. There's good info there on all price ranges of digital cameras. I also suggest saving up a bit longer, and getting a digital you can use for a while. IMHO, of course.

If it were me I wouldn't get a combo music player/camera because it won't do either job as well. Same reason I won't by a combo DVD/TV. More chances of something going wrong.

Listen to our learned members above and look further for a better digital camera. You should be able to get a 6~8 megapixel model at a reasonable price, especialy if you're willing to buy one that has just been replaced by a newer model. Great savings can be gotten that way. Let us know what you decide.
