Rating: Summary: A great Surprise Review: I bought this camera while on a budget and in need of a quick camera. I bought it for one trip and it worked so well I now use it every chance I get. I have gotten quality 5x7's and for transmiting over the internet there is no loss in resolution, I was completely surprised. I was seriously considering an HP model at the same time, that's when size became a factor, it is convenient to carry and was easily put in my pocket when visiting an Amusement park. The only downfall is the size of the XD cards, I misplaced my spare the first week, fortunately It was at home and in my compter area so after shifting some CD rom it was found. I would definately by another or similar Camera in the future.
Rating: Summary: Does Everything I Needed Review: A lot of camera for the price. Excellent feel and easy to use. Setup was easy. I was taking pictures and printing in less than 15 minutes. Entry level price with more than entry level features.
Rating: Summary: Maybe I'm just easy to please... Review: as I have never owned a digital camera before. But I must say I'm quite impressed. I took several shots, thinking they were on the 3MP setting, and they looked great even when fully blown up on a 19 inch monitor. It turned out that they were only on the 1 MP setting, and the 3 MP were of course even nicer!It was definitely bulkier than the other models I browsed. But since I'm coming from a traditional 35 mm, it actually seems lighter and smaller than I'm used to. And so far, battery life seems decent, although I don't have a great feel for that yet.
Rating: Summary: Good Camera for a Great Price Review: At the current sale price of $129, this camera costs about the same as an equivalent film point and shoot camera. If you are looking for a digital camera for everyday snapshots, this is the BEST DEAL available. If you are looking for a digital camera with professional quality pictures,this is not for you. This camera takes two AA batteries and is good for around 20 pictures. If you don't have one, get a battery charger with four rechargeable batteries.
Rating: Summary: WAY overrated!! Review: For those of you who reviewed this camera, stating how easy it is to use "your first digital camera"... well, the fact is, this camera is nothing special at all. The reluctance of the zoom to zoom (try it!), the shutter delay after pushing the shutter button, the SERIOUSLY long time it takes to set itself up for another photo after taking one, and of couse, the major battery-eating problems lead me to be totally underwhelmed by this camera. Sure, it's got decent features... but ALL decent digital cameras do the same exact things. And BETTER. I'm bringing mine back - don't waste your time.
Rating: Summary: Great Review: Great camera all around. Have had it for 1 week and sofar have taken over 1,000 pictures. The photo print's turn out better then regular cameras (35mm/throw away) and the best part is, you dont have to worry about pictures you dont want, like of your thumb.....
Rating: Summary: Great Deal Review: Great deal for the money. Other user's are right about buying a charger with rechargeable batteries, and a larger memory card. It comes with 2 alkaline batteries, they won't last long, especially if you play around with it like I did. I just got mine a few days ago. I noticed leaving the display off helps to save on batteries a little though. I love mine, I would recomend buying the power adapter for the camera too for when you download the pictures onto you're computer, I think that's also where the camera uses a extra battery power too. I just ordered a 128MB picture card and a charger with 4 batteries for mine.
Rating: Summary: I would recommend this camera Review: I am so pleased with this camera, and I love the program. The only thing I wish it had voice when you are recording movies. The program is easy and I know where my pictures are. I had Kodak easy share, and I spend hours locating my pictures. I am still learning how to operate it, but I am happy with it, so I had to let you know.
Rating: Summary: Better than my old Fuji 2650 Review: I have had for three weeks since my Fuji 2650 was dropped in my local lake....The moral is to make sure you keep the camera on a neck starp when not in use. This new model has better battery life and quicker start up than my Fuji 2650. The shutter lag is not as long and the color balace on indoor flash shots has less red eye. A definate lot of camera for the money. I did get the optional docking cradle that comes with rechareable batteries and also make loading pictures into your PC a snap.
Rating: Summary: Great for Starters Review: I have had this camera since October 2003 and I'm very satisfied with it. It's my first digital camera and got it for a great price (considering its features). It is compact and it doesn't consume a lot of power. The image quality is good. I'm no professional photographer, so I mostly e-mail my pics or take the card to somplace and have the pics printed. There's no escape: you have to read the manual & get to know the camera . The controls are handy and you can say that it is a point-and-shoot product. Outdoor pictures with plenty of light are excellent. Can't say the same about night shots. They tend to come out dark and blurry (at least with the auto mode on). Bottomline: This camera is a great choice for non-professionals and starters.
