Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $350.00 from Best Buy

Summary:

What i love about this camera is that it is so easy to just have with me all the time. Its the same size as my wallet. But If you want just one camera to take pictures don't get this one or any camera this size. The thing about the ultra compact cameras is that the lens is so small its hard to let in enough light to get a really quality shot, and at full zoom you often get a blurry photo. I own a the digital rebel and use that for times when i want to take photos for photography sake. but i take this little guy everywhere else

Strengths:

Super small Quality photos for its size Great Video quality Super bright screen Easy to use features Flash is very bright Solid construction great to take backpacking, climbing, biking...

Weaknesses:

Picture quality is ok due to its size Not an ideal single camera Manual features are lacking Battery life is sub par, get at second battery.
