Customer Review: Casual User Review
Summary: 5 Stars
My needs were: Camera for class, family events, weddings, and posting on eBay. Nothing fancy but I want pictures to give as gifts so I need good quality. I dropped my original in the water during a grad class and needed a quick replacement for photographing plants and flowers. Quick? I got it THE NEXT DAY. Brooklyn to CT. So I bought this even though it was green. Which, after going to a wedding where I could pick my camera out from all of the silver cameras on the table I truly appreciate.
Short review: buy it! Cheap, small, good sharp images. Movement is trickier but you just have to change settings. Long battery life, true to the manufacturers statement - 300+ pics per charge. Read the manual (yes, nerds do not like to do this) but it was painless and I learned about some cool features.
Longer: Like every other electronics nerd I researched cameras before I bought this and it kept popping up everywhere as top rated. Like a B or B+. The biggest thing I learned about higher megapixels (10MP+) is that for cameras built with older technology the processors can't handle the memory and the images are fuzzy. Even if the megapixels are 13 for example you may get unfocused pictures. So that is why I got this - under 10MP you are "safe". My pictures are sharp at 5 X 7 which is all I need. The Leica lens has a great reputation for clarity and I think that is why this is a front runner. I am not going to repeat what others have said but here are some things that I love:
- Small, fits in a pocket and the small zipper camera bags you can but at Target. It is even smaller than my PDA but has a big display.
- Even the battery charger is small so you can bring it with you.
- You can lock pictures, so my niece and nephew can't delete them.
- Can display pictures in a grid so it is easier to delete using it.
- Controls are intuitive even without reading the manual.
- Stabilizer does a good job.
- Without the flash still can take room light pictures (still only).
Some dislikes: The red eye doesn't eradicate all of the redness sometimes, and the flash recovery isn't as fast as my other camera.
So for an everyday camera it is perfect!
