I'd just be a bit wary of actual picture quality... but I guess if its just one to be brought out fishing and is gonna take some hard knocks it'll be ok.

i got a 60$ camera that 5 mp.

its slow and the picture quality is ok.

for what it is and what it has to take pictures of.

fish its my boat canoe camera ,if it goes swimming i don't care its 60$.

but had to get used to a camera that u have to hold stiller and longer and wait ,while u take the pic's.

its a major step down from a slr.

its even a big step down form the olympus 7.1 mp.

no anti shake/blur etc .

the aldi camera being 8 mp should take a decent pic i reckon.

if this was out when i got my cheap camera i would have spent the few more bucks and got it .

i did check aldi but they didn't have a camera i wanted at the time.

the main thing i was looking for at the time ,was rechargeable battery and cheap .water and shock proof would have been a bonus but worth the extra few $ i reckon.

the olympus stylus is not too far off in price, only thing that prevented me from buying was the slow response time. I ended up getting a panasonic lumix ft1 for around $500 all up, thats 8gb sd card and 5 year warranty and it doubles up nicely as a normal camera, probably won't get as great pics as a dedicated normal everyday use camera for the same price, but knowing me i'll make good use of the shockproof and waterproof qualities...

Don't really know much about it except that it's half price and a reputable brand.
