5 out of 5 stars All round solid camera   October 10, 2008
This camera is a great buy. It has tons of features and takes quality pictures. Specifically, my wife and I really like the microphone and speaker that are built into the camera - picks up sound well for videos and also makes it very easy to review AND HEAR videos on the camera. The menus are intuitive too and easy to navigate. Overall, this camera is an excellent purchase. By the way, it comes with a 32MB SD card, which is basically worthless when each 7MP shot is just under 2MB. So, remember to pick up larger SD card (2GB seems to be working pretty well for us currently - haven't tried an HDSC card yet).


5 out of 5 stars Better than I expected   October 9, 2008
I purchased this as a backup camera. Meaning a camera I can haul everywhere I go, mostly for cloud pictures, when I can't carry my Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom around.

I picked this camera because it has a few features I hadn't found in other cheaper point and shoot cameras. In manual mode it has an infinity focus mode, which I haven't seen anywhere. This is excellent for cloud photos, as my other camera could almost never focus on them, but this camera lacks a manual focus, so I wasn't completely sure it would work. The Infinity Focus completely solved that problem.

It's other main selling point is an ability for "Super Macro", ie focusing on objects almost touching the lens. It is also found in Manual Mode. My S3 can do that, but I didn't think I would find a point and shoot with that capability. Especially since I've played with some of the more expensive Canon powershots and they DIDN'T have the capability. It makes up for the measly 3.4 optical zoom.

One feature I haven't played with yet is long shutter, also in the manual settings, reached by pressing menu in the Exposure area of the Manual settings. It looks like it can go up to 5 seconds or so. Another feature I didn't expect on a camera without Manual Aperture or Shutter Speed adjustments.

The lack of a viewfinder is a bit irritating, and noticeably a problem in direct sunlight, but the focus modes more than made up for it for me.

It does have a big lag for flash pics, even with NiMH batteries. You will HAVE to buy another memory card as at high quality it can take barely 10 pics on the included one.



4 out of 5 stars Ok for your basic camera   October 7, 2008
Simple controls/ decent picture quality. Batteries seam to last a while in it. I wish I would have gotten one w/ a better zoom, but for the money cannot complain. Good design, easy to hold in different angles while snapping photos/ The face recognition works pretty well & is fun to use.


4 out of 5 stars Great camera for the money   October 3, 2008
I'm no professional photographer...just like having a simple camera that takes quality pictures. This one is simple, the pictures are high quality and it's really easy to use. I like the large view screen too. Very good value.


4 out of 5 stars An excellent purchase   September 30, 2008
Tis simple digital camera is a fine tool for my 13 year old granddaughter who is enjoying it very much.
