Inconsistent Pictures

I didn't like this camera and sent it back. The pictures were very inconsistent - I took two pictures of the exact same thing at the exact same time and they each turned out different - with different lighting and coloring. Also, sometimes the flash was so bright it whited out the subject's face and you could hardly see them.

Pleasantly surprised by the ease of use. Especially pleased with the photos it's produced. Nothing complicated about it, enough options to please everyone.
I'm grateful for the rechargeable battery and the battery charger that are both included.
No regrets on this purchase.

Small camera - big punch

This is a great point and shoot camera. Small enough to fit comfortably in a shirt pocket and capable enough to capture the fleeting moments of life and preserve them forever more. Wide angle makes pictures of groups much easier to take. Picture quality is great and with ten mega pixels a picture can be cropped to capture only the desired elements and still look good. Battery life is very long, but when it is about done it depletes quickly. Best option would be to have an extra charged battery with you.
One improvement that could be made is to the internal flash. It works for pictures of ten feet or under, but the light falls off quickly after ten feet. But this is a point and shoot camera and if you need to take flash pictures at greater distance, get a studio digital camera with a separate flash attachment.

Good, but not great

This is a good small point and shoot camera for the price. It is easy to use, has a very clear menu, and a very large LCD display. If you are looking for a 5X zoom with simple menus and an extra big display, this is a great deal. The downside with this camera is that the picture quality is not as good as more expensive cameras, and it does not do well in low light situations. The flash has an effective range of 9.8 feet. Beyond that range the picture will have poor focus or lots of digital noise. It says it can do 1600 and 3200 ISO, but the quality goes down in those situations. The manual says that even in 10 MB Fine mode (highest resolution) they don't recommend enlarging beyond 8 x 12 prints (which was the limitation of my last 3MP Olympus camera). It is nice and compact and easy to use. You will be happy with it as a snapshot camera, but you will want to spend more if you are a serious photographer. I have rated this a 5 because I think you get what you pay for. Even with its limitations, it is a great camera for the price.

I love this camera!!!!!! it's very intuitive, easy to use, great quality, beautiful colors and many options.
Not for manual mode, it doesn't have many options for manual.
