    1 "Image Sensor 1.3 Mega Pixels(interpretation to 12Mega Pixels ) "

    I'm assuming "interpretation" should be interpolation - I'd run away from any camera that has that word in the specs - it just means they're desperate to make the specs look good.

    3. Resolution is very poor

    7. Only digital zoom? Very iffy!

    Nothing in those specs suggests it's anything more than a toy. I'd assume that camera is very cheap and probably not worth the money. Not knowing your budget it's difficult to make any suggestions.

    Steer clear. There are a lot of better deals than this. You do not mention value for money or the price of this unit.

    I think you will be unhappy with the results from this unit. Maybe you have no taste
