Strength:
Optics and digital quality most outdoor photos have good color and quality. Autofocus works well Optical zoom in working ranges W to T does fine. 1.25 to 2.5 are empty magnifcation (blow up) settings. User presets are very handy to "goose" up the flash settings. Compact with decent ergonomic controls Simple P&S mode. Quality in Fine mode seems to be equivalent to average P&S models.
Weakness:
Flash is too weak and requires some contrast and brightness enhancing beyond 10 feet. F3.5 is marginal. Would like to see a 2.8 as minimum. Needs auxillary (hot shoe)flash controls Menu controls take some study Battery hungry; get NiMh rechargable batteries Video screen needs some shading for outdoor use. Standard 8Meg card is too small. I use a 32 which is fine for a normal use. A decent digital camera with excellent optics and reasonable controls. This is my first digital so I read reviews and wanted to try a 2Meg to start. I have not been disapointed in most cases. A good outdoor camera, a marginal indoor camera. Customer Service None Required Similar Products Used: Pentax SLR Olympus P&S |
