All in all the picture quality is quite good. For the intended uses of a camera in this resolution range, I see nothing wrong at all with it's image quality. It will not produce photo quality PRINT output at any decent print size, but no 640x480 camera will. You can get "happy" with bicubic spline interpolation in Adobe Photoshop, or use other supersampling techniques and get workable smoothness in a 3.5"x5" print out of a camera with this low resolution, but with a big trade-off in sharpness. I only mention the above for educational purposes, not to belittle the Lmini. This type of camera is targeted at the beginner digital photographer on a budget, and the beginner just needs to be aware of what to expect, and not to expect out of a 640x480 resolution camera. The output of the Lmini is more than adequate for what you would most likely be doing with a low cost digital. Website pictures, picture layouts for personal documents, emailing friends and family, or just having fun.

I think the Largan "will" be a fun, simple to use, camera. And unlike some sub $100 digital cameras, which I won't name, (but you'll see them in your local Wal-Mart or Best Buy) your'e unlikely to be disappointed.

Pros:

• Inexpensive. At around $89 bucks on the web, not a bad deal for a simple digital.

• Features. It has all the basic, and proper features a camera needs. Stay FAR FAR away from any digital camera under $100 that doesn't have a flash, no matter how cheap. Even your 4 year old wont like it. 

• Good picture quality.

Cons:

• intrinsic limitations with 640x480 camera resolution for print work. If you're interested in good print output, 640x480 isnt enough.
