Hmm... that's interesting... I googled around and read as many reviews as

If you don't mind me asking, what did yours cost? and is the value

I bought my girlfriend one of those.  Indeed, it fits nicely in a
handbag but it has been a major disappointment!
- very poor picture quality
- very short battery life

Btw, the smaller and lighter the camera the more difficult it is to
keep it steady and directed at what you intend to shoot.
