4 out of 5 stars awesome   July 6, 2008
Ashley Bartholomew
I researched a lot of cameras in search of a good one. I saw this one and this camera is a great deal. I think it lives up to its 4-5 star rating. Its sleek. Holds up well to drops. The only thing i don't like is that the battery chamber is a little loose and the batteries fall out in my pocket if I'm moving around a lot.
It has great zoom and easy to use functions.
I would also suggest getting a battery charger, batteries wear out quick as with any camera!

I would recommend this camera to anybody who loves to take pictures, it shows such great detail to were it makes anything you shoot comes to life. The only downfall is that I do recommend buying rechargeable batteries but come on don't get upset for it is worth the price for if you think about it nothing is to good to be true I am not trying to get all sales pitch here because that is not me I am just an everyday Joe I just like this camera it is my first to own digital camera but not my first time using one and believe me I am a stickler when it comes to spending my money. But just to be on the safe side get the rechargeable batteries so you do not miss a beat come to think of it if you look at the other digital cameras out there even the Sony cybershot you need AA also, I bet you they don't last long either. That does end my review and sorry I don't have a pic to share with you, To me it is a better experience in person. So yes I would say yeah if you are thinking about it yes I would buy this camera again if I was looking.


4 out of 5 stars Nice, but no optical viewfinder   March 8, 2008

I bought the camera and used it to take a few photos in the house. It is easy to use and has many features for such a low-priced camera. When I took it outside to take a photo of my snow-covered house, I found a problem. It does not have an old-fashioned look-through viewfinder. The digital viewfinder screen is large and easy to see in the house, but not bright enough out in the sun. Therefore it was difficult to frame my image. I am taking it back to where I bought it (for $99.58 + tax).

My 5-year+ old Canon Powershot Elph has far fewer features and a much smaller digital viewfinder, but I will buy some new batteries and use it for a while.
