I bought one of these yesterday after being lured by it's good looks - yes, i'm that shallow! After an initial 4 hour battery charge, I had only experimented by taking about 20 pics and a 1 minute movie, when it told me battery power was low! Also, some detail is lost when using the zoom feature on stills. With hindsight I wish I had bought a camera with optical zoom rather than digital zoom. However I was pleased to get it for the bargain price of £49.99 at Toys R Us, rather than the £89.99 Argos were charging, and all in all, I think it's an okay digital to start off with.
