Rating: Summary: Good Beginners Camera Review: This is probably a good beginners camera, but no where near 35 mm quality. Even up close. pictures came out, out of focus when using zoom and flash.
Rating: Summary: Great Digital for Beginners Review: What I love about this camera: 1) Very easy to use--what you see in the viewfinder is what you get. And you can immediately see the results on the LCD screen on the back of the camera. 2) The dock is wonderful-just like a palm pilot for pictures - set the camera in the dock, push the button and your pictures are loaded into the computer. It's that simple! It also recharges the batteries when it is in the dock - a HUGE benefit because the digital cameras need a lot of juice. What I don't really like: 1) The picture quality is uneven - some pictures are great, some just don't work. Not as much a problem since you can delete them, but that very special photo op may not be captured by this camera (keep a film camera for the most important occasions -- like your son's first home run hit). 2) The camera's user interface is clunky beyond point and shoot pictures. Don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. This is strictly a amateur's camera. Overall we are very happy with this camera. We get surprizingly good prints out of our $99 epson bubble jet printer (on the special photo paper). It is ideal for the beginner digital camera user who want to send email pictures and take lots of good quality photos for pennies versus the expense of developing film. I gave it five stars because it did everything we asked and more.
