I can't find a review on this camera I am thinking of purchasing. I'm putting in the description it gives, but it doesn't give the model # or any reviews on it. I'm not a professional photographer, but I'm still really attracted by 6 megapixels at an affordable price. If you have heard anything about this camera at all, or this brand, please let me know!

Just by reading the specs you've provided, I can tell you this camera is garbage.
First of all, it doesn't have 6 megapixels. The word interpolated, which they so conveniently put in parenthesis, means that it has less. The specs don't say how many megapixels this camera actually has - just that it will create as much padding as it needs to make it seem like 6. It's like a lazy student handing in a 6 page assignment, when in fact he has 2 pages of text that he double spaced and put in an insanely large font. Heck, if you make the margins a bit bigger and include some gratuitous pages for an index and bibliography, you can turn 2 pages worth of text into a 10 page report. With cameras, that called interpolation.
Also, this camera only has digital zoom. Digital zoom is bad for image quality. Reputable brands offer digital zoom as a gimmick, on top of optical zoom. Optical zoom is the good kind.
And if you can't find reviews for a camera, that's another bad sign.
Stick to name brands like Canon, Olympus, Panasonic, etc. If you're shopping and you see something you like, here are two great review sites:

I did a sprint analyze on it, and it does not look too undesirable for its fee. even although, i think of it truly is form of of an in-between. it truly isn't any longer a compact digicam, as its lens is protruding. So, there is no speedy taking it with you, it does not slot on your pocket. on the different hand, it truly isn't any longer an entire length digicam too. Its 5 MP is only too little for that, and a 3x optical zoom is likewise no longer amazing. I even have not been waiting to be sure no rely if it may mount different lenses, yet i assume no longer. which would be a significant set-decrease back for me, as a digicam like this may be my selection for the harder photos. So, i'm no longer certainly inspired by skill of this digicam. Its fee isn't extreme (a hundred seventy five Euro is approximately $two hundred), so which you will no longer flow broke on that. yet my selection may be the two a picture digicam like a Sony cybershot 7 MP for the holiday photos, or a extra high priced Canon, that may somewhat substitute lenses, and be far extra versatile with that.
