i bought this this morning and have since bought another,well the owl fella did after seeing how good it was. the picture quality is unbelievable,its simple and easy to use.it was priced at €191.99 but now its €70 and well worth the price so get it while you can here
it feels like your carrying a phone and not a camera, ill be carrying this every where i go and be sorted for them moments when you wish you had your camera.

If you are buying this, the website offers to sell you a 4GB SDHC card, but the description of the camera says it only does SD (2GB max)

It says "Memory card compatibility: SD"

On other cameras it says "Memory card compatibility: SD/SDHC"

SD is limited to 2GB, but if as you say, it also supports SDHC, that's grand, but it is not listed on the website, hence my comments
