My Review 

It is the first digital camera that I have owned, and it is terrific. I only use the instant shot, as I am not a very good photographer. It just seems to do everything itself, and I don't have to worry about whether all the settings are correct.

Camera "pros" 

Easy to assemble. To me, it is nearly as easy to use as a point and shoot camera, but with the advantage of zoom.

Camera "cons" 

None that I can think of, except that you can't put it in your pocket

Is this camera easy to use? 

Very easy to use

How is the image quality in good lighting? 

Shoots great photos

How is the image quality when using the flash? 

Shoots great photos

How is the camera's LCD screen?

Do you feel like the camera is/was a good value? 

Yes

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

You're right in that newer DSLR cameras work very well on fully auto mode, as well as with some manual controls. Thanks for posting the review!
