Summary: Date resets when batteries are removed.
Comments: I have owned this product for 3 years. The title of this review is my 1st complaint. Date stamps are important when capturing an event and when on vacation. And I forget easily. My second complaint is no customizable default resolution setting. It reverts to the factory default resolution setting e time you close the cover. Irritating. Otherwise, I have had no problem in light or dark environments. great clarity. Works well with iPhoto on my Mac. Definitely not a "pocket cam". |

Summary: Broken before1year!!
Comments: I purchased this camera from a user on amazon used, in "new" condition. It arrived during the winter holidays fine. The pictures are okay if you know how to work it. The camera eats batteries like crazy, so you alalmost all have to purchase lithiums (Which add up in price quite quickly.) The camera now pauses for about1minute after each picture, and sometimes the lens or screen will not even work!!!!!! My sister just got a new canon point and shoot. It made me realize how much better the new cameras are for the same price. If you are purchaseing a point and shoot, do not waste your money on this. purchase something that lasts. |

Summary: I LOST MY CAMERA IN LAS VEGAS
Comments: After4or more years old reliable is gone. I must replace her. Olympus FE-250 I think will be my new camera. That old 3.2 MP took great pictures for emails and stuff. Yes you can expect2AA batteries per 20-30 pictures, however if you use it on the go, and infrequently it's perfect. 5 stars for reliability, ready when I am and ease of finding batteries. however for $59 she's too cheap to replace and I can afford better. |

Summary: It is just OK
Comments: I have had this camera for 2 years now. It has its pros and cons.
Like eone else, the battery life is terrible. Others say that you need a lithium battery which I have not tried. Regular AA batterys only lets me take about 25 pictures.
Also, it is slow and has long delay when shooting picture. You definatly miss the moment you are trying to capture.
Pros: It is pretty user friendly. I love how it hooks up to my computer and downloads easy. Anyone can do it. You do not need to be a rocket scientist on this one. |

Summary: Great Pictures, Some Style Flaws
Comments: I have had my camera for a bit over 4 years now, and it still works great. I know the problem that the previous person has had, however I figured out how to fix it somehow (probably something with the batteries). This camera takes 2 double A batteries and I use the rechargable ones. However, the batteries do not have much life in them after a year and run out of juice pretty quick so I always have to bring lots of spares (think like 3 replacement sets for an event where you take lots of pics).
It does take video, however the quality isn't worth it for the 60 seconds you get. There is no sound recorded for the video.
The best thing I can say about this camera is that if you know how to use it well, it takes really great quality pictures. Get familiar with the different settings and learn how to control what the camera does, and with that I'd argue it is alalmost all as great as my friend's $300 camera for sheer beauty of pictures. The only glitch is I hate the flash. I just do not tend to like pictures with flash anyways, I like the more yellowy natural light look. I also tend to have a problem with red-eye with regular flash so I always have to use the red-eye reduction setting to take pics of people. This camera also comes with a panorama setting which works well with the program that comes with it (with some practice).
I really like how you do not need a card reader to download your pics onto your computer - the USB cable (which is a pretty common cable among electronics) plugs right into the camera port.
Overall a great camera for its current price, great camera overall in my opinion, and a wonderful camera for learning how to take and edit digital photographs!! |
