Awesome Camera minus the Recharge Battery Prompt

( - 6/19/06)

This Camera takes wicked pictures. I travelled Africa and Europe and took over 3000 pictures and have had a hard time deleting them cause they all look great. Amazing Zoom comparable to my 75mm on my manual. It is a great camera for someone that wants to takes quick shots but also artsy, technical shots. love the black and white, and sepia modes and Flash Adjustment.

I have had some issues with turning the camera on to view my photos and the Recharge Battery light comes on when in reality the batteries are Fresh. Once i switch to Shooting mode and then back to view it is fine. Weird but what can you do.

Also my only other complaint is that when the batteries are low, they are basically dead, you have like 5 seconds before it dies. Any suggestions for finding battery life left would be nice as i have misplaced the manual
