Price Paid:
$300.00
from camerabox.co.uk Summary: I bought it after reading a lot of review on internet.
I decided for this model for its HD video and wider zoom available. The other choice was the Canon Powershot D10. I I could come back I will pick this one!
I was looking for a compact camera to be used beside my Nikon D40 + 18-200 VR lens.
After more then 2 months I'm not happy about this camera.
I used it at beach, underwater, in very wet condition (china).
The screen get scratched after my first use at beach.
The LCD screen in unavailable under direct sunlight, it become a mirror!
Also underwater it is not very easy to point the subjects you want!
I always follow the instructions for cleaning the camera, but after my last immersion the camera did't work anymore! Now I'm waiting for the customer care to be repaired! Strengths: Good full HD video
Shockproof
Good battery life
Weaknesses: No cover for the lens
Using the camera at the beach, the sand will for sure sctrach your LCD screen
LCD screen if used under direct sunlight become a mirror
Reproduction of colour is not very good, all the pictures are greenish
Too many programs. If the camera should be easy to use, then one automatic program for beginner is enough, but then give us (more expert) the possibility to set the parametrs manually instead of choosing between a lot of other automatic programs (not usefull at all) Similar Products Used: My only other compact camera was a Canon ixus V2
I'm now using a Nikon DSLR D40 + 18-200 Vr lens Customer Service: I will tell you in the next months
