Review 5 of 68
Summary: This was my first digital camera and I am still in love with it. I run several websites and have generated hundred of product images and some images even ended up in magazine ads (although in a small size). My only reason for giving it up was to get more advanced features which are not found on cameras in this price range, and are really un-necessary if you are not using the camera for a specific purpose like close-up product photographs.
One recommendation would be to purchase a larger memory card and a card reader. I used a 16MB card and would get around 35~40 images on it. This was more than enough for a several day vacation. Strengths: Good value, for under $500 it has all the features a typical person would use and comes with good features like USB connectivity and rechargable batteries. Photo quality is near perfect on prints up to 5x7, but most people rarely print larger than that anyway. Features are clear and easy to understand. The image size of 1280x960 has plenty of resolution and can be manipulated comfortably on most PC's without taking forever. Weaknesses: USB connection does not work under Windows 2000. Zoom in/out button must be pressed hard with fingernail to activate. Low shutter speed. Still or slow moving objects are fine, but moderate movement will blur. Similar Products Used: None Customer Service: Contacted their tech support about the zoom control, when I first received the camera I thought it was broken. The response was that all the cameras are like that. Although this was not the best answer it was delivered timely and professionally.
