First digital camera and extemely pleased !
(Rosalba M. Saunders - 1/27/08)I bought this camera after reading many reviews and this one seemed to suit me and my requirements bes.. I am so very happy with almost every aspect. It is my constant companion and hardly ever disappoints me. Very easy to use and handle. The optical zoom is excellent but even the digital zoom quality surprises me! Sometimes I even use it as binoculars when I can't see something in the distance...it's that strong ! Crazy!
But takes great pictures in low light. Takes great pictures with NO light. The flash fills in a complete room even in pitch dark and takes an indoor photo as if it were 12 noon. Excellent color.
Image stabilization - no blurry pictures ! Great for boaters .
Bright, Easy to see photos on 2 1/2" LCD.
It is a great, easy to use camera accomplishing the task at hand---great pictures 99.9% of the time.
My only 2 negatives: Doesn't zoom in as you take videos...don't know if this is a digital camera limitaion or just on this one...
And the other difficulty is just working with the Manual setting and trying to figure out how to adjust the f-stop and aperture settings...but when you get it, the pics come out great.
Definitely like the size and shape...bigger than the slippery little ELF, and so doesn't feel like it's going to crash and burn when grappling with a photo..has a good grip.
Definitely like the AA rechargeable batteries...they have a pretty long life and if you buy a 2 GB photo chip, you can get 1,000 pictures in hi-res. and up to 2, 000 pics in lower resolution.
One of my favorite features is the AudioVisual Cable that makes showing friends and family your pictures on the TV a snap ! They love it and are impressed to see pictures immediately in large format. I always keep my AV cable in my little camera bag
I had 2 cousins who bought the same camera when they saw what it could do..and have one friend considering it for her next purchase.
I know you'll love it !
