Excellent portable camera but Problems with flash, blur and battery
( - 9/8/05)THis is very good camera for clicking images in broad day light.
If you click photos at night then you will suffer a lot.
The first thing is that you cannot adjust the intensity of flash. Therefore whenever you click photos, the strong flash makes people startled. I mean the photo comes with eye closed (or half closed seeming like drunk man).
If you try to keep flash off and take photo under room light. Then you will notice sifnificant blur even if you hold the camera properly. YOu must keep flash to prevent the blur or increase the ISO settings( but increasing this will lower image quality).
The another thing is that battery life is short. And that there is no battery meter to notify you how much gas is left in your battery.
Other than these flash, battery and bluring problem this is an excellent camera. I can't believe my camera is superb than any of my frnds mostly with sony and nikon digicams
