It's got the looks, that's for sure. Compact camera's used to be ugly little things, only in silver etc. I have a Fujifilm compact in black, looks so much better than silver. The red one was equally as stunning.
And when you get a good deal for literally next-to-nothing (the extras, that is), you can't pass it up. $20 for extended warranty (2 years instead of one), a 4GB SDHC memory card and a little carry bag, which was excellent value. It takes great shots - decent amount of everything combined to get a nice shot. But still playing with it.
Yeah, the red ones I saw really stood out. The silver looked meh.
