5 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera and Happy with my purchase   October 11, 2008
Kimberly Sutton (Bridgeport, CT)
This is definitely a high quality camera. It takes great pictures. I am also happy with the price, to find a camera that takes better pictures, you'd have to pay a lot more.


4 out of 5 stars Good quality/value for the money   October 10, 2008
Moon (Oberlin, OH United States)
A lot of people have already given good reviews here - it's what convinced me to purchase the camera.

However, though I really like the camera, I thought I'd point out a couple of areas that i think could be better.

1) The interface/controls/options are many - but pretty complicated for the average user.

2) Not so great in low light, no matter what setting.

3) Would be nice if the lens housing didn't have to extend every time the camera is turned on.

4) Is there a way to turn the flash off by default? If so, I haven't found it. I'm kind of annoyed to have to turn flash off every time I turn the camera on.

5) Contrast seems overly sensitive on this camera. Bright spots in uneven light tend to be over-exposed. When the exposure is turned down to compensate, you lose the darker areas altogether.

NOTE: even though I have the above issues, I do like the camera, and I feel it was well worth the $125ish I spent on it.



4 out of 5 stars Great photos, slow cycling   October 10, 2008
Robert J. Steenson (Iowa)
I'll agree with many other reviews here that this is a fantastic little camera. Nice feel, solid construction, takes wonderful pictures. However the time between shots is longer than many other cameras with which I am familiar. The time to cycle between pictures when using the flash is excruciating.

It's also not the smallest camera out there. It fits in a pocket or purse, but just barely.

I recommend this camera and would buy it again as a good value for the price, just don't plan on using it for sports or some other subject where you need to take many shots quickly.



5 out of 5 stars I love this little camera   October 10, 2008
G. jones (Virginia)
I love this camera. I got it just before a trip to Washington DC and it really lived up to it's reviews. I got beautiful pictures of the White House and many other sights. It takes beauitful night shots also. It is so easy to use. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a great camera that is very user friendly.


5 out of 5 stars Great Camera   October 9, 2008
A. Riley
We finally replaced our old digital camera (bought in 2002). It was falling apart, but still worked.

This camera is great. The picture is great. My old camera took forever to get the shot once the button was pushed. This one is quick, which is important because I am taking pictures of my kids with it.

It has a lot of features that I am still trying to figure out. I mostly use the auto feature, and pictures turn out great. But there are many other setups you can use. You can even turn it so that you can manually set up the picture. I don't know anything about manually setting up the picture, but it's a fun feature I'd like to learn.

For the price, it is a great camera.
