Customer Reviews
Good Buy, especially for a beginner.
I was very pleased with this camera. It was just what I was looking for in a camera. Easy to use and understand with great quality pictures.
This camera is fairly simple to operate. There is a handy manual included to help those of us who are not yet savy with cameras. Very easy to download to my computer. Images are crisp. I would suggest using rechargable batteries if you plan on taking a lot of pictures at a time. Nice value for the quality.As usual, product arrived timely and in appropriate packing.
The price point almost seems too good to be true, but I was very happy with this little point and shoot camera. It's not a pixie like the Elphs, but it will fit in your pocket like a regular wallet. The 12 MP image quality isa excellent- night and day comapred to my 5 MP camera. The video at 640X480 is just 1st generation HD, but it's still clearer than any 640X480 camera that I've ever used. There is no zoom while shooting video.Most shooting modes are easily accessible via a turn knob on the top of the camera. images and videos are accessed via a play button. I liked that it only took 3 clicks to delete an poor image after shooting. The lense motion is very quiet. There are some great deals on 16 gb SHDC cards out there, and I would recommend getting a large size to store all your pictures.There are some minor negatives. Beach and snow mode take about 10 clicks to reach. The camera is a battery hog- two 2300mAh batteries left in the camera did not last more than 48 hours before draining. I would remove batteries and bring extras and/or chargers when travelling. Burst mode takes about 1.1 seconds per image. The Install CD also crashed my Windows XP SP3 computer 3 times before I succeeded in the installation.I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a quality entry level camera with enough features to compose good images.
This camera is very user friendly and produces great quality photos. You can read about all the features of the camera, my only two complaints is that is is difficult to find where you can delete all your photos on the memory card (i.e. it is not very intuitive), and the memory card itself is in the battery bin, which saves space, but is a little awkward to open. Overall it is easy to take great pictures and then stuff the camera back in your bag.
