  • Excerpt: For that price it may be used but you can find DSLR camera in that range which would take better photos. But I guess those can’t be carried around for everyday use.

  • Excerpt: You get what you pay for. This camera is a decent deal, but I was unhappy with the quality of the pictures. Some turned out great, but most were a little bit blurry.

  • Summary: This is my first Digital purchase. I have stayed with my Nikon F5 (and prime lenses) and Contax G1 for some time and used good film scanners.
  • Pros: Marketing, Kids enjoy video capability, General convenience (but, hey there are allot of cameras which meet theses criterion at a fraction of the cost)
  • Cons: Poor viewfinder, Suspect metering, Shutter lag, So nothing vital then!
