great for indoor use

I have had one of these a few months now, and generally its a great little camera for the price, but has a few drawbacks.
On the good side, if you take a lot of flash pictures indoors, it cant be beat. A lot of expensive cameras 'fall over' when trying to focus. They dont have enough light - not even the auto focus assist light gets it right every time. This camera has fixed focus, so it doesnt get confused. Great focused pics every time. It also has very little shutter delay as its fixed focus....
The pictures, indoors or outdoor out of bright sun, are pretty good for a cheap camera. Unless you are a pro, you will find difficulty in finding fault with the prints you get from the camaer. Dont think they are crap like a phone cam, they are far better than that!
The one serious flaw the camera has, is bright days. As soon as the camera starts to see bright daylight, the picture starts to suffer. You get purplue overload - its a bit like a badly printed picture from film - the colours go whacky and the picture has a purple wash all over it. If you can move the suin out of the pic, its all fine again. You can tell when this is happening as its shown on the lcd in real time.
So, to recap.
great - in fact brilliant - for the money if you take indoors shots, and pics on an average english day!
Take it on the beach, or an a hol abroad, and its going to produce really crappy purple pictures

I'd say its very slim camera for its small price, superb picture quality indors and oudors as it has built in focus and flash which automaticaly checks for lightning conditions to make it just right, not too much and not under flash.
I had use this camera for over 4 month and have no problems with it, very cheap and reliable with long lasting batteries.

It's a quite simple camera and from the first look it seems cheap looking. But the pictures are quite good(5MP) the memory type it's also quite cheap to find and it can be used as a computer camera.
Also it's quite easy to connect it to the PC and copy your pictures to it.
As I said great value for price

good camera, but not without problemsReview created: 21/06/08

I like this camera, it has a good resolution, 5mp, and is easy to use. The trouble I have found with it however is that it is not easy to get accessories for it i.e charger, battery etc.
It also seems prone to stop working for whatever reason, hence the number of spare or repair versions on e-bay. Nice camera if in full working order and with all its accesories, otherwise be cautious when buying.

This camera is brilliant I had one and needed another spare for camping holiday, other cheep cameras fall short of the quality of this one. I have it in my handbag at all times. It's the best cheap camera that that I have ever had. There is nothing I dislike with this camera.

Excellent little camera with 5mp. Already have this model and needed another one for use at work. Efficient and easy to use. Have put in a 1gb card and on highest resolution it has approx 1400 pictures. Has x4 zoom. I like the li-on battery and power lasts a long time. Only difficulty has been glare from lights in a theatre or white clothing when setting was on automatic. Also takes short videos. Software not difficult to use. For someone who wants a good basic digital camera this one is definitely recommended.

Premier Electronics DS-5080 Digital Cameranice looking camera but quality was very poor. It would have made a good cheap camera for kids if it worked. I would say do not buy.

Decent little cheap camera.Review created: 07/03/07

For a cheap camera it's good.
The picture quality is good, and it's very easy to use.
Good for nights out, or other basic use.
I've also had some quite professional looking photos out of it.
I can't say I've ever had problems with it (apart from losing it..).
