The camera has been battery tested and has some issues. The mechanism that turns it in when you slide the lens cover over has a flaw. I was able to get it to power on but I'm not entirely sure how. While on, it seemed to work alright. The lens extended and retracted. With the on/off mechanism flawed, you wouldn't be able to turn it off. Also, I'm not sure if the flash is working. The camera is sold as is.
