A cheap, pocketable, and easy to use digicam. Yes, images are snapshot quality, but at this price point, most users wanting to switch things up from a phone will be content.

I had a lot of fun with the point-and-shoot, and would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants a really cheap camera and cares more about capturing memories than megapixels. But personally, I’d invest a couple of hundred more and go for something slightly more premium [...]

A 16-megapixel resolution is about as high as its small 1/2.3-inch chip can sensibly justify, but otherwise, this auto-everything device is as basic as they come.

[I]f you're reasonable in your expectations on this camera, I think it's kind of fun.

If you want a simple, pocketable, dedicated camera that takes good-looking photos in daylight and that isn't your phone, this is a pretty good option. And it's about the most affordable camera in that realm that I would recommend.

[I]t’s the gift to myself that keeps on giving, and I’m sure that’ll only continue to be true during the summer months. If you’ve been on the fence about hopping on the “digicam” trend, this is your sign to snag the PIXPRO ASAP!
