Good, not great, camera December 4, 2009

I've had this camera for over four years. I'll start by saying the picture quality for outdoors, well lit subjects and macro shots are outstanding. This camera really shines outside. Get to know the menu and some of the features about the white balance settings and you can make some drastic adjustments to your picture quality and color accuracy. That said, this camera is not one of those cameras that will give you a well focused but grainy picture in a low light situation. Some cameras will give you this option but this camera only wants to take a sharp, detailed picture. This can be frustrating if you just want a point-and-shoot to capture quick shots while you're in the bars at night or just indoors at home. Dusk can also be a frustrating time to use this camera. There's comes a point where the light fades and the camera begins to struggle; with focus, picking up a clear shot, capturing that soft purple light as the sun goes down, etc. I have tried ALL the different settings and I understand what this camera is capable of. Yes you can get a tripod to capture the low light shots and it will do okay - still not great. Picture quality becomes very poor with the flash. The light is extremely harsh. Colors are washed out, skin tones are not captured nicely resulting in an 'unflattering' picture. I even tried covering the flash with several layers of scotch tape to soften the light, to no avail. This camera also tends to give a subtle fish-eye effect on subjects within about four feet. Macros don't seem to have this problem. I am impressed, however, that my Nikon went for an accidental swim in the river last summer and after allowing the camera to dry and recharging the battery the camera still works! Ever since then my picture quality has diminished and there is a new, slightly hazy quality, but I realize it needs to be taken apart and cleaned. Not the camera's fault. Overall, at the price I'm seeing right now (about $190 USD) I would recommend getting this camera expecting beautiful daytime landscapes and macros.
 This one will blow your mind out November 7, 2007

I have this camera for 3 years never had a Mojor problem wih it.
Also have Nikon D70s for 4 years
I never liked point and shoot camera but when my mom got this one I was surpise. I never liked point and shoot because of its zoom. But as I used it, I learned Its almost better then any SRL Cameras. I use it when I go to Partys or away from home.(Prom) I have nikon d70s but I dont wanna break it so I brings this one. I like it alot of those featurs it has. I NEVER HAD a problem with it. The A/F is ok but some times its blurry.
I like when it has the night vision so you can see what you about to take. I use it during prom and was suprise it had it. Other people was suprise too with it.
PRO:
- VARY easy to use.
- It has Auto fix the picures when you take them(you can turn it off if you dont like it). It will make it more colorfull if you want it.
- Its small.
- The view finder has night vision before you take the pictures. Then the flash comes
- Has a way to zoom in your pictures so you can see what you have
- camera does warn you that the shot is blurred or no good. It will ask you if you wanna redue it.
- Good pixels (7.1)
- Has different modes; night, indoor, party, fireworks mode, 360 mode(forgot whats it called sry its late) and others
- Nice battary life.
- Nice Black and white Pictures(I gotten some cool Pictures with this mode. (Its cool!)
Cons:
-Some blurry shots but not alot.
-The veiw finder(the one on top) is Little off then the lens(that shows whats on the screen)
- Little bit slow to start up(you can put your own greeting pictures evertime you start up the camera.) Dont know if you can shut it off or not
Overall: I highly recommend it. If you can afford it. GO FOR IT.
I never had a problem with it. Dont know why other people has
Also, im a college student not some person who wants to Rip how bad this camera is. I tell the truth not like other people.
 Great Until It Broke September 2, 2007

I really liked this camera until if stopped working.
After about a month, I would get a lens error, indicating that the lens could not slide out. I did some research online and found this to be a common problem with this camera. Apparently the lens can get knocked off the rail that enables the lens to slide in and out.
Not As Bad As Some Have Claimed But Not Perfect January 31, 2007

This camera is nice in the way that it's small, lightweight, and looks fabulous. It's bad in the way that it's slightly difficult to get a really great picture with it. I used to have a Nikon Coolpix 4300 that seemed to take clearer pictures than this one. I have no idea how that's possible but in any case, it's not as horrid as some people have claimed but it's certainly not the best camera ever by any means. I took it on a few vacations and out of say, 120 photos taken, probably only 75 were "good ones" in my opinion. With a film camera I wouldn't complain but I think with digital, there shouldn't be as many bad shots. With my 4300 it was virtually impossible to take an ugly picture, so it seems to me that this one should be better, not worse.
Best one yet January 3, 2007

Everything it should be. Easy to use. unbelievable Phote quality and colors. Love the Lithium Ion battery. Small is good for carrying but there is a limit to how small I want for handling reasons and this is it. If availible I would opt for a larger LCD screen. Still has viewfinder. Really important for good shot composition.
