I bought this:
Specs: (For $150)
16.1 megapixels
sweeping panorama
720p HD video
smile detection
25 mm wide 5x optical zoom
camera pouch
4 gb memory card
rechargeable Lithium Ion battery
There are some cool settings on here and some lacking, so I'll try my best to touch basis what was a deal breaker for me.
Pros:
1. soft face setting that I thought was very cool. It really does make you look like you're blessed with a deceptively clear and smooth face
2. panorama sweep mode takes really nice photos.
3. good audio on the video
4. 16.1 whopping megapixels
Cons:
1. The camera heats up if you're using it for a while
2. Processing pictures between takes are quite slow
3. Difficult to shoot very close up photos. I was trying to capture a simple spider but the lens would not focus so I couldn't get a clear shot. It wasn't that tiny, either!
4. Very blurry night shots. I can't get a good focus at all! This is probably a deal breaker for me.
I'm still playing around a bit with the camera until I have the chance to return it. I just don't know what I'll want instead... Here are some test shots:
Food setting
ISO
For these night shots, I literally tried every single setting and could not find one that consistently took clear shots. I had to prop it on top of a surface and put the timer on. The camera took still objects well enough but when you add people...
Just try not to breathe

Scenic background setting

Dang it sucks some of the night pictures are so blurry. I like the focus on here but it's not a good sign if a camera heats up. If you are to use it alot it would probably damage some of it's components. The colors look nice too!
