Summary: Great LCD
Review: Bought this little jem for it's 2 1/2" LCD screen and the 3.2 mp picture quality. The LCD is exceptional and makes it easy to review photos without glasses as well as to share instantly with friends. The size is right also. When riding my Harley Springer it's easy to keep this camera handy for those instant shots (after pulling to the side of the road).
1. The metal case seems bullet proof however when holding it your right thumb rests against a very slippery portion of the camera body. I can almost feel the camera slipping from my hands if not careful. To prevent this I glued a small piece of 400 grit emery cloth to this area and the problem was cured. (Kyrocera take note: place a few bumps in thumb area to enable a better grip!).
2. Outdoor photos are almost 100% overexposed but can be quickly corrected in your favorite photo editing software. This may also be corrected by using the manual white balance.
3. Take your time when making photos because every photo will be blurred if you don't prefocus first (press shutter button half-way down) before taking the actual photo. If you press the shutter button all the way down when taking a photo it will blur everytime!
4. Buy a soft case for the camera for protection. A bought a perfect one at Target for $3.99.
5. The camera and menu controls are extremely simple a straight forward.

Summary: Enclosed battery does work, though its power fluctuates
Review: The included battery for this camera at first appeared to be a dud, as it displayed "LOW BATTERY" after only 4 pictures were taken. Though upon turning it on two weeks later, the cam indicated the battery was full. Two people I know who bought this same model told me they had similar experiences, though their batteries 'normalized' sooner than mine. Obviously for this reason I can't recommend this that highly but be aware the battery does contain a normal amt. of power.
For my purposes-mainly photographing items to sell online- this camera is all I could ever ask for. The ease of use and quality of the pics are above par.
In summary, by buying this, you're getting a good digital camera but be aware the battery needs a lot of time to 'break in'.

Summary: low battery
Review: This is a great camera but which battery will keep its charge to take 50 pictures? I have tried 1800 mah & 2000 mah and the battery gets very low when 10 pictures are taken.

Summary: right set of features for a compact; best bang for your buck
Review: This is a great little camera, and the price is right. However, you'll need to buy 2 more things in order to be able to enjoy using the camera: a bigger memory card; and a recharagable CRV3 battery. Kyocera claims this camera can run on 2 AA batteries as well as the recommended CRV3 battery. NOT TRUE! I tried both Li AA batteries fresh out of the pack and rechargable NiMH batteries, and the camera could take at most 10 photos before showing "low battery". So I got a rechargable CRV3, and took about 100 photos and it still showed full battery. Now you know the worst about this camera.Otherwise, the camera is great. The image quality is good. The LCD is great - excellent way to take snaps at parties and have the instant gratification of seeing the image right away at a decent size and resolution. The controls are straightforward and easy to use. If you're looking for a compact camera with advanced point and shoot features, I highly recommend this one.
