Review 1 of 4

Price Paid: $220.00 from Nomatica.com

Summary:

Overall it's a fine camera. This camera provides you with the option of taking pictures in manual mode. This means you have control of several aspects: white balance, EV compensation and sharpness. It takes nice pictures on automatic mode and in macro mode (manual/auto shots). The movie recording mode does not work fine with low light. Maximum film size 3:30 minutes w/ 64Mb SD card. To take this camera to it's maximum performance you must shoot with good light conditions. Battery life is the worst aspect, but not that bad!! Well, i don't know the problem of the other guy, but i can play with my camera much longer than 20 minutes. I use rechargeable batteries. Four of those batteries last all day long. Great price-quality ratio!

Strengths:

- Low weight - Easy to use - Great pictures/movies with good light conditions - Manual mode - Great flash

Weaknesses:

- Battery life - Performance in Low light conditions

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

THis is my first digital, and I'm very happy with it, but beginning to reach its limitations. It's set up like a film point and shoot. It takes very nice clear photos in full to medium light. It doen't do well in low light, but with photoshop you can still get some nice images.

Strengths:

Uses AA batteries. No delay once button is pressed halfway. Light

Weaknesses:

No lens cap or cover!! DOesn't do well in low light. Can't leave the camera in self-timer mode, have to reset after each shot. Manual not very helpful
