impressive for a 1st digital camera
[ Posted: 2008-06-09 ]
I bought this camera brand new in late 2003 to become more "modern". I didn't really need a digital camera, but I wanted one. Now, more than 4 years later I have thousands of pictures on my PC that are priceless. The camera finally died 2 months ago and I've replaced it with a 10 MP Nikon Coolpix. Although this camera is now considered bulky by today's standards, and the LCD screen is now considered tiny (1.5") I can't just toss this camera away. It's served me very well the last few years, so I guess it'll just take up drawer space. It's taken excellent pictures, but it took a little getting used to. To focus on anything, you have to press the button down "half-way". Try saying that to someone who's not used to digital cameras. Most of the blurry pictures occured because of that. Want to take pictures of your kids playing sports? Faggedaboutit! Action shots come out blurry. Not enough light? You'll get grainy pics. Like to take videos? Hope you do it in bright sunlight and don't need sound. All-in-all this camera has gained my respect and takes great pictures under ideal conditions. A perfect starter camera.
Battery Eater - Poor indoor pics
[ Posted: 2008-05-28 ]
I bought my camera several years ago at Wal-Mart and I have to say I have never really liked it. It eats batteries like crazy, even the rechargable ones. The only battery I have found to not go dead within two to three photos is Duracel. Also, the quality of photos is not that great, especially indoors. I took this camera with me to Amarillo, Texas and I finally gave up trying to take photos with it and bought a throw-away camera which worked fine. I am currently shopping for a new digital camera and have given this one away as it wasn't worth selling.
great value for the money

This camera takes pretty decent pictures for it's resolution and pricepoint. The included software is also good. Definitely get a larger memory card & the rechargable batteries, though; it sucks up lots of memory for higher-quality pictures and the batteries don't last as long because of that.
I love the super-zoom feature on it, that you can override the 3x zoom by continuing to press on the zoom.
Own it, Love it!

This is really a great camera! I've had it since 04' & its still perfect!
Great for 2.0 Megapixel. Also for a beginner.

I bought this camera oddly enough, on ebay. I did not need a 5 or 7 megapixel camera. I just wanted to get rid of my film cameras. So I bought it and it works just fine. Has .3, 1 and 2 megapixel modes. Works fine for my use and I don't need to spend a lot of money just for a higher megapixel camera.
