Customer Review: Tonka Tough digital camera...
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros
He's a tough little guy, he's not going to break if you bump him or spill on him
He's an attractive camera
He's small enough to go with you anywhere
He's easy to hold and handle, he comes with a safety strap too
He's easy to use, no steep learning curve, just point and shoot
He's plug-n-play style with Windows XP, no software install required
Cons
His battery doesn't recharge unless you pop it physically out of the camera and pop it into a separate charging tray
Additional Thoughts
It's a good-looking, tough, small camera -- perhaps more bulky than the pictures you see on the web reveal, but still small and comfortable in the hand. I didn't need the manual to start using it right away. I am enjoying new freedom from paranoia! I know that if I knock this camera around a bit it's not going to die on me. The toughness of the camera makes me brave about it, and that's why I bought it. As for picture quality, features, battery life... they all seem very good to me, pretty standard for your daily point-n-shoot. I've have the camera for a few weeks now and I use it constantly. Again, the big selling point is its hardiness. I am not shy about keeping it with me in a bag or pocket because it can handle being bounced around a little. I haven't found a thing about this little guy I don't like! :-)
