Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Base PX Okinawa

Summary:

The SL400R that I bought was for the small size, and it has been a blessing in my work I have had this camera over 3 years and taken thousands of photos, mostly of my new baby and work related photos and made hours of moviesalmost all of my baby. I then turn them in to DVD's and send to grandMa It's great except when I end up braking it. I have a hard time finding some where to send it to for repairs. The last two times I have sent it to Main land Japan

Strengths:

It,s easy to use and operate. Covientely sized to fit on my utility belt next to my cell phone. Very easy to down load from and easy access to the SD card and battery. Just what is need in todays busy inviorment.

Weaknesses:

It was discontinued about a month after I bought it so the PX stopped carring any support items for it. Like the batter. Had to get one from Main land Japan as the PX couldn't even get one on a special order.
And I had yo send it back to Main Land Japan to have the view screen replaced when I broke it.

Similar Products Used:

None

Customer Service:

On this island of Okinawa it sucks as there isn't any service. I can't send it back to the states for repair as it costs me to much to pay postage both ways becouse I have to use the local mail system and can't use the US mail service and sending it to main Landis a trip when you don't read the writting or speak the language.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $319.00 from online

Summary:

Bought the SL300R Finecam online, great overall camera. Movie video is not sync'd with audio.

Strengths:

Size! Smallest camera to date on the market. Fits in pocket, very nice to carry around. My wallet is bigger.

Weaknesses:

Recorded movies are out of sync with the audio. Not sure why but I've tried everything. Going to call Kyocera about this. Anyone else with this problem? It's not BADLY out of sync, but enough to be a bug. Another problem, images are too often blurry. I own a nikon 950 and never experienced so many blurry pics before. Guess because of the small size I'm getting camera shake? When it does focus, the picture is sharp.

Similar Products Used:

Nikon Coolpix 950

Customer Service:

If the movie video was perfectly sync'd with its audio, I would rate this the best camera I have ever seen.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $400.00 from Amazon

Summary:

First, this is a very COOL camera. Second the results are fabulous. I took a trip recently to Florida and the camera performed beyond my expectations. I am going to purchase three more to give as gifts for Christmas.

Strengths:

The LCD can be viewed in bright sunlight, the camera shoots very fast at 3.5 fps continuously. The camera is small enough to be pocketable.

Weaknesses:

None that i can find.

Similar Products Used:

No Need
