Perfect Amateur Camera
(Alissa Holman - 3/15/06)I previously did not own any camera, but wanted to purchase a digital camera. I chose this one based on reviews from other first time users and am extremely happy with my purchase.
It was simple to use right out of the box. All the controls and buttons are very self-explanatory. Plus, it takes awesomely clear pictures for a 3.2 megapixel camera.
The thinner manual was a breeze to read and I even experimented with some of the settings and was rewarded with nicer looking images.
The memory card that comes with the camera holds about 100 pictures. The batteries included allowed an hour of camera use and I still have yet to see the low battery indicator. I did purchase rechargeable batteries and plan to use these once the batteries included with the camera expire.
The zoom is decent. It's only a 3.2x zoom. I was pleased with the zoom. I could use the zoom to read signs on the other side of the electronics store from which I purchased the camera, so I felt the zoom was adequate for my use.
I did not need to install the software to transfer pictures to my computer. I have a Mac and I just connected the camera to my laptop with the USB cable (included with camera) and the pictures immediately transferred to my laptop. It was so simple!
I have not printed any images with it, so I can't comment on that aspect.
Overall, I love this camera and I look forward to using it frequently. I have not tried it outdoors yet, but I don't think it will disappoint.
It also has the capability to record short movies, but I have not used that or plan on using it, so maybe other reviewers will have more to say on that.
I highly recommend this camera for the average person who just wants to digitally document events in their life. It's an inexpensive camera, but performs fantastically for a basic camera.
