Decent camera for the $$

byalanbweaver Apr 25, 2007
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fairly easy to use, LONG telephoto
Cons LONG telephoto can cause a bit of blurriness
Recommended it? Yes

The camera is reasonably priced. Image quality is good, the battery is durable (long life) and the zoom is good. It does lack image stabilization.

Its best feature is the 10X lens. This also is its detriment as the camera has no image stabilization which can result with blurry pictures in... Read full review »

Pros Ease of use, macro, zoom, flash choices, picture quality.
Cons shutter speed, slow zoom.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera with the idea that I would be getting a few more features than my previous camera which was a Canon S3 IS. I wanted a little better zoom and the wide angle lens for my nature shots. I was a little skeptical about changing brands but decided it was worth the risk.

Pros Zoom, Picture Quality, Comfort, Battery life
Cons Menu System, Slow operation, Quarky Software, xD Picture Card
Recommended it? Yes

I have been very pleased with the quality of the photos produced by this midrange camera. The zoom on this camera is excellent. It allows you to zoom in on just about anything you would want to photograph. Contrary to the expected belief, there is little to no degradation in image quality at the... Read full review »
