 Gift for my wife January 8, 2009
Stuart J. Joseph (Rockaway, NJ)
This my wife's first digital camera. For someone who tends to avoid new technology, she really likes it. She likes that it has a view finder because she is not comfortable holding it away from her face and just looking at the lcd screen. She also likes that it uses AA batteries so that she can bring extras whith her instead of having to plug the camera into a charger. She has only used it indoors so far, but the photos are very clear and the lighting is perfect. Her old camera was fine outside in natural light, but the indoor photos were poor. That makes this camera a hit for her. She needed a little help figuing out the timer, but since we have teens in the house, they showed her what to do. I really like that it uses SD cards because they are much less expensive than the Memory Sticks used by the Sony. If you leave the camera set for max resultion (8MP) the memory cards can fill up quicker than you think.

Hey Everyone. My first review, but I am so very happy with this camera. I bought it as a replacement for a Kodak DX7630 6.1MP I bought 4 years ago. The price I got this camera for here of $109.99, is by far the least expensive I've seen. It is only 1/3 the price of my old camera and by far superior.
Some points...
1) Takes great shots, and with being able to adjust every setting, including focus, if auto or easy mode for some reason didn't get it, then you could.
2)Movie modes. Many to choose from. The smallest is super for e-mail. The largest although running better than a Meg a second is awesome, even at 20 FPS. I think it takes better movies, definitely in low light, then my digital camcorder.
3) The only negative I could mention is that in the highest fine picture mode (which is not the default), the processing time between shots can be long. Sometimes even 5-7 seconds. However, its default mode is superb. I just figure finer is better, since I downsize pics and so want to start with the most picture info. The time lag doesn't bother me. If I needed rapid shots, I'd switch modes, or use burst.
4) It uses 2 AA batteries. I put rechargeables in it. They have never run out on me. However, I always recharge after every large usage occasion.
5) I just got this at Christmas and haven't even gotten through the manual yet. It does so much and I'm always discovering more.
6) For example..my son had a concert. I was way in the back. From my seat, to him on the stage, only the stage lit, with full digital zoom going (16x), it captured a more then usable shot. I was amazed!
7) So bottom line...I love it! Even if it was $150 it would have been worth it.
A great camera for a great price January 8, 2009
Thomas E. Smith-Hurt (Auburn, WA)
This camera does alot. Movies, close-ups (macros), 4x optical zoom, optical image stabilizer. I am still learning all of the features of this product. The easy-to-use dial control allows you to choose what kind of picture you want to take (night, night portrait, day portrait, landscape, fireworks, and others). The price was great for a name brand digital camera. I would recommend this product.

Calrebs (San Diego,CA)
This camera replaces an older Canon digital. I wanted a camera with no fancy settings and very easy to use in a small product. I liked the idea of this one using long lasting and cheaper Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries. I will not be printing or blowing up many if any pictures so this 8MP with 4X Zoom more than fits my needs. I primarily use this for E-bay and family shots that I store on discs. While I am still learning how to operate this camera, I do notice that the time it takes to shoot one picture after another does take a bit of time, several seconds. The quality seems to be good and I am happy so far.
great and cheap January 8, 2009
Jason Pollard (ca United States)
great camera for the average user that wants to take really good pictures, but not spend a thousand bux on a dslr.
