Nifty starter camera July 10, 2006
Ellie (North Shore of Boston, USA)

Right away I was surprised how high the quality of the images was with this camera. I had expected the lens quality to be the limiting factor, but the photos were tack sharp. This is a basic camera so you have to make sure it has enough light for a photo (flash won't illuminate everything), make sure the ISO speed is set as high as possible, e.g. 400 (scroll through the menu to set it so that it will be able to use a higher shutter speed in poor light), hold the camera very steady, and don't try to photograph moving subjects. Phew! sounds like a lot of caveats, but the truth is a microchip won't do everything for you. You have to know a tiny bit about 'real' photography - buy a book on it. This camera will produce great prints in the hands of someone who does not expect it to do miracles on low lignt, wobbly, moving, backlit, too far away, mirror in the background, impossible to focus shots. I think this is a great buy in cameras.

Too bad preformance doesn't live up to design April 17, 2006

I really liked the looks and features of this neat little camera - especially the lens cover/ on-off switch. The software that came with it.. was somewhat confusing - the red eye correction feature there was very nice though.Ahh but the pics.. I contstantly got blurry images-- even of a still subject -- the camera is very sensitive to hand motion .. it was nearly impossible to hold it still enough for a good shot.I ended up using my ancient HP 1.3 MP to get pics on Easter morning. I am returning this camera and buying a slightly more expensive Panasonic with image stabilizing system.

Inexpensive Starter Camera June 6, 2006
Sarah A. Novak (Ohio)
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

I know very little about cameras. Honestly, I've learned most of what I know by reading reviews, etc. That can be dangerous. The big information I've taken away is that more megapixels are a Good Thing. More megapixels are also more expensive.

I wanted a digital camera so I could take pictures and send them to people without resorting to a scanner. I was also putting together a property inventory, and I thought it would be ideal (quick, clear, and I could burn a disk with everything when I was done). That project is still in progress, but it's working pretty much the way I thought it would.

A couple of things I've discovered:
When your object is clear on the little screen, it might not be clear when you look at a full screen view on your computer.
When the object is blurry on the little screen, it might be great in a full screen view.
When the picture looks washed out (too much light) on the little screen, sometimes it's OK on the full view screen on the computer.

I'm still working on figuring out how to get the picture clear at all times.

That said, this is a very easy camera to use. The buttons are all pretty intuitive (although I did have to resort to the online manual to figure out how to turn off the flash entirely).

Transferring the pictures to the computer with the USB cable is a snap. Even organizing the pictures into an album on the computer is fairly easy (although I renamed half the pictures before I noticed the "caption" option in the software). Haven't decided which I'd prefer to do.

I think that this camera might eventually become a hand-me-down to one of my kids as I improve my skills. I didn't feel confident using a digital camera (and the accompanying software) until I upgraded my computer. The camera is inexpensive enough (until you add a memory card of course) that I don't feel that I've wasted a lot of money on a camera I'm taking bad pictures with.

One thing I might have been better off choosing would have been more zoom.

I'd also like to know whether there's any battery that is ideal for digital cameras, or am I stuck keeping a large inventory of AA's? How do I find out what is typical battery usage? Is 90 pictures on 2 AA's good, bad, or indifferent? Would a more expensive camera be any better in this respect?

All in all, this was an excellent choice for me at this time.

A GREAT CAMERA August 25, 2006

13 out of 14 found this review helpful

I have to say this is a great camera with beautiful prints every single time you snap a picture. I have had this camera for almost 9 months and I have not had one single complaint scince I got this. It's extremly simple to operate with not that many buttons or meconisims to use to get confused with. I recomend this to every one and you wont even know that you paid so little for this camera once you see the beautiful prints it delivers.

Good for the price May 14, 2006

This is a good camera, considering the price...very cheap.It is very user friendly. You don't really get anything special on it, but after all you only paid $120. The LCD screen is a bit small, and kind of hard to see the images when you are taking pictures. But if you want a point and shoot camera this is it. Great for a teenagers first camera, b\c its not that expensive if its lost or something. I love the fact that once you click to take the picture it takes it, unlike some cameras that take 3-5 seconds.(this is a bonus for this camera) It also had a recorder which works well. Make sure you buy a memory card for it, you will need it. So overall, nothing fancy, a point and shoot camera. If you want fancy stuff, spend a bit more money.
