"when the battery runs out you can't recharge it because the charger that comes with it doesn't have a cable edit: i found the cable so i bumped the star rating up by one but the other two snags are definitely not due to me losing stuff "

"i received the new memory card which did not help"

"if i ever buy another camera i will make sure it come with an instruction manual as i am fed up with having to jump through hoops to download one"
