The best 28mm p&s yet........2007-09-20
If you are looking for the best 28 mm p&s of it's class, you found it. If you are strapped for cash, you can opt for the SD800 which is similar but not the same. The SD800 is a smudge heavier, while having a smaller LCD. Image quality on the SD870 is on par with the 850, which in my humble opinion is pretty damn good. Despite the nay sayers, IQ is better than the 800. Barrel distortion/"soft corners" are present, as they are in all the p&s cameras with 28 mm, but it is hardly noticeable. They finally did away with the image finder as well. Why do consumers need it anyways? The 3 inch lcd is just beautiful to look at, and for all intents and purposes of a camera like this, it does a great job.
The thing is lighter than it's predecessors, but definitely not worse in build quality. They used heavy duty blast type plastic to reinforce everything. The thing is light. It's small. It's definitely easy to use. Image quality is great for a ultra compact. Definitely worth the money if you're looking for an upgrade to the SD800. I can't stress enough how very happy I am with the camera.
A new, plastic "upgrade" to the SD800 IS.......2007-09-19
I had hoped that cheap plastic battery door on the sd800 would be replaced by the sturdier mechanism such as is found on the SD850 (sadly that model lacks 28mm WA) only to be disappointed to find that not only is the cheap plastic door still present, but most of the other parts of the camera, *including the tripod mount*, buttons, and switches have been replaced by cheap plastic versions. As another reviewer noted, it is not "reinforced" by plastic, because there is no metal underneath it. This gives the camera a very cheap feeling to it compared to Canon's other ELPH models.
The screen, while larger, is not as accurate as that on the sd800. The colors are not as accurately represented, and it is very grainy. By increasing the screen size by 1/2", they have also shrunken the size of the dials to the point where it is difficult to make selections.
Image quality between the two, at all ISOs, is identical. However the color rendition on the SD800 is slightly more accurate. The lenses are identical on the two models.
The SD800, 850, etc are built better (metal, not plastic), have larger and more solidly constructed dials and switches, and has an optical viewfinder for use in bright sunlight or to conserve battery power.
Overall, get the SD800 IS, and get the same (slightly better) quality for $100 less.
Canon's best ELPH yet !!!.......2007-09-16
This camera replaced my trusty SD450. I loved the SD450, but I wanted to upgrade to something with image stabilization. To put it simply, the SD870 totally rocks! The 3" screen is beautiful to behold. It's even viewable outside with bright sunlight shining directly on it. And the pictures this thing takes are absolutely gorgeous! They are sharp as a tack, and the colors are spot on. I have to say, the image stabilization really makes a big difference, particularly when you are shooting in low light. I also like the new, wide-angle lens. It really comes in handy when taking group shots or shooting in close quarters.
The only negative I can come up with is the lack of an optical viewfinder. I guess this is a sacrifice you have to make in order to get a screen this big on such a small camera.
Pros:
Sharp photos with great color saturation
Optical image stabilization
Speedy shot-to-shot time for an ultra-compact
Bright 3" screen that's easy to view in all lighting situations
Great movie mode
28mm - 105mm (35mm equiv.) 3.8x wide-angle zoom lens
Easy to use controls with intuitive GUI
Cons:
No optical viewfinder
_________________________________________________
Overall, I think the SD870 is just about perfect in every way, and I highly recommend it!
Got this for my wife for our 2nd Anniversary.......2007-09-12
This is such a great camera. The 3 inch screen stands out even outside. I love the wide-angle lense which allows you to get those people to the side when taking a group picture. There are many different shooting modes made for just about any situation. I have the SD550 and this is definitely a great upgrade to it. The image stabilization works even at full optical zoom and the face detection really does make a difference. I'm more than happy with the purchase and we hope to use this camera for many years to come. Definitely recommend to those who want the best for the money (IMO)
Canon does it again.......2007-09-11
This brand new model of Canon's well known and excellently rated SD series sports a very fashionable case, with pletora of functions and superb image quality. No regrets taken, this is a choice that definitely pays out!

GREAT Camera!! Better than the Nikon L11.......2007-09-11
I have had this camera for about 2 weeks and I LOVE IT!! I previously had a Nikon L11 and returned it due to the known issue of it just freezing up when it wants. I purchased this camera as a replacement for the Nikon. The Pros:
- It starts quickly
- Takes GREAT pictures
- It's small/lightweight
- Has great features that many other cameras in its price range can't touch (Stabilization Mode for one)
- It was priced about $60 - $70 less than comparable cameras (I bought mine for $99.00 - $60.00 less than the Nikon)
- It turns heads (It's finished in shiny black and chrome)
- It has a quicker regeneration time than the Nikon
- It fits into my wife's purse or my pocket easily
- It is 7MP as opposed to the Nikon's 6MP
- It has a Continuous Shot option
- Operates on 2 AA batteries
- 26 MB of internal memory
The Cons:
- It's physically a little larger than the Nikon, but lighter
- You can not turn off the Quick Review of your pics after you take a pic. Therefore the regeneration time is extended
- No flash while in Stabilization Mode
- LCD screen is a little difficult to see due to the shiny case that covers it. The Nikon won this battle as it was a matte finish and very easy to see in sunlight. A small price to pay for all the other features (hold your hand over the screen)
- A sometimes pixelated image while zoomed in close. No effect on the picture taken though.
If I could have given a 4.5, I would have. It is a great little camera and I can't wait to see what GE has in store for the future. A GREAT little camera from a company that make everything from Toasters to Jet Engines!!!
Great camera.......2007-06-11
I bought this camera to replace a $350 first generation SONY digital camera that I've had for over 5 years. This camera works great. Large LCD screen and easy to use controls are a plus. The camera is very well put together - a quality product. Syncs effortlessly with my Macbook and my PC. Picture quality is very good. A great camera for anyone looking for a digital camera at a reasonable price.
One (or two) big flaws from perfection.......2007-06-10
I bought the GE A730 because it has by far the best feature set of any camera in its class at an unbelievable price. It's pocket-sized, with image stabilization, manual controls, a useful 35-140mm lens (35mm equivalent), a one-thirds grid on the LCD to help with composition and keep horizons straight, and on and on. It also has the best user manual I've ever seen. When I got it home, however, I immediately discovered its Achilles heel. I could not use the LCD in full sunlight, even at its brightest setting, and the A730 does not have an optical viewfinder. Also, the LCD is so reflective that the reflection of your own image blurs the screen even further, even in less than full sunlight. Besides that, I found that the automatic focus tended to hunt in almost all lighting conditions--though, in fairness, that could be just a flaw in the particular camera I bought, or "pilot error" due to my lack of experience, and not a general flaw in all A730s. I returned the camera for a refund and called GE Customer Service. I had called them once before with questions about the camera and they were savvy, polite, patient, and eager to please. When I told the person who answered about the problems I had with the A730, I could hear him typing it into his computer. He thanked me, said GE's R&D department wanted as much feedback as possible, whether good or bad, and said he was forwarding my remarks to them "as we speak." Except for the LCD (and perhaps the hunting AF) the A730 is a landmark point-and-shoot with superb features, at an unbeatable price, supported by excellent customer service. Despite my disappointing experience, I'm not giving up on GE cameras. Almost all new products have "bugs" in them that have to be worked out. The company seems more than willing to correct flaws, and if it does, there won't be a camera in the A730's class that can touch it. I'll watch with great interest to see if GE follows through on the feedback, and am looking forward to the release of their E850, which has a 28-140mm equivalent lens, a bit more resolution and all the other fine features of the A730. I hope GE makes the necessary corrections. They are just "this close" to producing a camera, backed by a customer support system, that all others will be measured by.

Superb Canon 30D.......2007-09-08
Canon has a great model for producing winners... learn from professional photographers what they need in a camera, and then make it better than that. I chose the 30D as a replacement for a 10D. The 30D has great performance in a compact package you can easily carry around your neck all day.
Awesome Camera Package For Novice, or Semi-Pro.......2007-08-25
I bought this camera outfit a month ago.
Right out of the box, with no prior knowledge, I used it as a point and shoot because I needed it that night for some important pics. Wow, was I amazed at how intuitive the camera is at choosing the right settings for amatuers.
My wife can even use it, and loves to go out and shoot animals outdoors, and get close-ups of butterflys and flowers. She can't even work our Kodak point and shoot half as well as she does with this 30D! The pictures come easy, and look spectacular.
The software that comes with it is great also, and basically good enough for most people, unless you want to get into extreme pro features like advanced masks and filters. We love the batching of picture groups you can do.
We rented a couple of books from the library on the 30D, and basic photography, and are using the 30D as a great learning tool for us into the world of photography.
You can purchase almost any accessory a pro could want for this camera, because the Canon EOS line has the most available lenses, and other tools than any other line out there.
We purchased this from Adorama, along with the 70-300 IS, a Tamrac extreme 7 bag, and a screen guard.
I would highly recomend Adorama for a place of purchase. No grey market stuff, if it isn't labeled as such, and they were extremely professional. The sale was seamless, and they overnighted to me at no extra charge since it had a slight back-order.
Sure the 40D is coming out soon, but that will just make this more of a bargain. Don't wait for the "next best thing" to come out. Go and get this so you can be shooting tomorrow, and not miss out on 2 months worth of pictures!
Excellent Camera.......2007-08-05
This camera is awesome, but if you could buy other lens will be great. I recommend a lens with no zoom, the EF 28-135mm it's a little dark.
My new favortite past time.......2007-08-02
Over the years as my paycheck as grown so has the cost of my cameras. I have had many digital cameras. Up to this point they have all been point and shoots. The last camera I purchased prior to the 30D was the Canon S2IS which is a great camera by the way. But the S2 just made me want a professional camera. One that I could control manually. I dug deep in my pockets and purchased the 30D with the kit 18-55mm lens and the kit 70-200mm telephoto lens. The camera is great. It is almost like a teaching tool in that it allows you to learn how to take professional photos and when you're in need of quick snapshots you can easily revert back to auto mode. The camera has more bells and whistles than I care to explain but if you're a novice photographer looking to make the next step I think this is a great camera. I've had the chance to shoot with some other more expensive lenses and now I know that the real money is in the lenses. I plan to have this camera body for many years. As I learn more about photography I'll invest in better lenses.
Great Semi-Pro Camera!.......2007-07-20
I bought this camera recently, receiving it 2 weeks before a wedding that I was going to shoot. The fact that I was able to acquaint myself with the camera in 2 weeks was a great feature. I had previously owned a Canon Rebel, but wanted something more sturdy with the ability to expand my experience in photography. This camera has a lot of features that make it a great buy for the price I bought it.
I don't have a light kit yet, but the PC port (for Studio Flashes) gives me the option to add that easily at a later date.
Being able to change the light metering from Spot, Evaluative and Center Weighted has helped me be that bit more creative with my shots on the fly during a wedding. I typically shoot in Av mode and let the camera set the appropriate lighting.
Setting the camera to Quick Mode, allowing for use of the Quick Wheel during shots is great when you want to quickly underexpose a shot for sunsets or other sky shots to pick up detail.
Allowing me to change the Focusing Mode from One Shot, AI Servo, And Auto has really helped, too.
If you are serious about your photography hobby, I would recommend this camera over the XTI, or others in the Rebel series. Also, Canon's reputation for quality is confirmed with this camera.

Satsfied.......2007-09-17
This is a good affordable camera.
I really don't have any complaints.
Just make sure you don't buy any cheap batteries,
cause the camera wont operate or go off after a lil
while.
I personally use the lithium batteries with this
camera and they last me for a long time depending
on how often you use the camera.
So Far, So Good.......2007-08-15
I just got this camera, and I haven't fully explored its range yet, but so far I'm happy with it. This is my first digital camera. It's a light-weight, compact camera that makes it easy to take along. It was very easy to start taking pictures and install the software on my computer. I just took it with me on vacation in New Mexico and got some great outdoor shots in a wide variety of lighting conditions, and I've also had success using it indoors.
Great Little Camera.......2007-06-27
I love this camera in every way except the power button, which is very tiny even for 5'3" me. Also, you cannot always tell in bright lighting if the picture has taken, although it usually has.
What I love is its size and the quality of the pictures - inside and outside.
Downloading from it is a simple process.
Buy it.
Good but not great........2007-06-12
I got this camera a little over a year ago and was instantly amazed by how easy it was to learn. It doesn't do anything fancy, but I didn't need anything more than a good "point and click" camera to carry around. The delay between clicking and the camera actually taking the picture was a bit off, which makes action shots difficult, but still life photos and portrait type photos are great! The only major downside is how quickly it goes through batteries. Yikes! Rechargables are a good solution, but you better NEVER forget to take an extra pair of fully charged if you're going out for an evening of picture snapping. If you're going on vacation, take a lot.
I'd give this camera a higher rating if not for the way it died on me. The day after I took some pictures, the camera developed a Focus Error and the zoom lense wouldn't retract, even after replacing the batteries. I emailed Fuji about it and they suggested some things that didn't work, or I could send it in for repair that would probably ultimately cost more than the camera itself did. Why bother?
My advice -- shell out a little extra for something better. You'll be glad you did in the long run. If you just want something cheap, this camera is decent, but remember what they say about getting what you pay for...
Wow, lots of camera a little price.......2007-06-12
I bought this camera for my daughter. It was inexpensive and seemed to have good reviews. The surprise was how good the pictures are. I think they are better than my Canon S3's.
It does not give the impression of being a real robust camera, but so far it has worked excellent. It does eat the batterys. I recommend getting some high capacity 2700 mha nimh rechargeable batterys
Product Description
Fuji's new F31fd Finepix Digital Camera gives you the best possible results, in any shooting conditions. It features Face Detection, a new technology designed to significantly improve your picture taking by identifying human subjects' faces in the frame (up to 10 faces) and in real time, determining the optimal focus and exposure settings. Fujifilm's new Picture Stabilization mode eliminates blur due to subject movement and camera shake; even in low light backgrounds. Simply select the Picture Stabilization icon on the dial on top of the FinePix F31fd, and you're ready to shoot. A new 6th generation Super CCD-HR to capture more light with less electronic noise. ultra-high sensitivity means you can capture the perfect picture, even in low light, just as your eye sees it. The 2.5" LCD has 230,000 pixel resolution and a fast refresh rate giving you smooth, clear viewing in high resolution color.

Great available light camera........2007-09-16
This camera gets photos in very low light, nothing this small comes close to this low light performance.
Awesome and easy!.......2007-09-15
I highly recommend this camera as much for its quality of photos as for the tons of features all within a very compact camera. The price I got via Amazon was great so all around, I am extremely pleased!
Best point and shoot for low light photography.......2007-09-14
This camera is famous for its low light performance. Fuji's newer models of the F series are inferior in this regard, so this this is destined to become a collectors item once it is discontinued. If you like to take indoor pictures with available light (no flash), this is the one to get!
Great Camera.......2007-09-11
My husband has enjoyed this camera a lot. Just what he wanted and was even more impressed with the price.
This is a truly remarkable camera, with only a few glaring weaknesses........2007-08-14
I should preface this review stating that I am not a pro or even serious amateur photographer like many of the other reviews here. I've never even owned a DSLR to compare it to. What I can say is that this camera more than compensates for museum visits and shaky hands.
I remember back when I used my older Nikon camera that I could not take proper shots when in museums and other flash restricted areas in Japan. As a result many of my shots ended up quite blurry or excessively dim. Attempts to up the ISO only resulted in pictures looking excessively noisy. Focus speed could have also used a slight boost for those rare and fast moving moments (those South American travelers in my tour group... ah what lovely memories of the word "GOAL").
These gripes were solved with the F31fd. It does not have optical image stabilization like most of the Panasonics and Canons out today, but it doesn't seem to need it all that much. Having a decent ability to test it against various models (working in electronics retail has its perks), I don't see much of difference between an image stabilized picture and one taken with ISO 400 on the Fuji. What I do see however is the ability to take shots of fast moving objects. At even ISO 1600 (which I do know is way too high for this camera or the discerning photo viewer) and a fast shutter speed I could catch a couple of kids running around with a remote controlled car with little blur. Overall I don't see any bothersome noise until ISO 1600, and that's plenty enough for me.
The camera focuses fast. I could get a candid shot off before the normally camera shy type of person turns around yelling for you not to take a picture of them because they think that they look horrid. I love it. From on to the first shot it takes about 2-2.5 seconds depending on what mode you're in.
Photos come out quite lovely on the computer. However even I can notice that they are a bit overexposed when shooting with the sun shining in front of you. Of course if you dial down the exposure it doesn't look as bad.
There are so many things I could say to put this camera in positive light, but since everyone else seems to have done that I might as well list the weaknesses.
First and foremost are those infernal xD cards. They're pricey compared to SD, harder to find, and don't come in capacities bigger than 2 GB. In addition if you're not in an area with a dedicated and well stocked camera shop they're likely to be the much slower and inferior Type M format.
UPDATE: In regards to a comment about there being no difference in xD Type M and H I have actually gone out and bought a Type M to do more extensive testing. The difference is much worse than I initially realized. When doing shots on auto it's not a huge difference (maybe a second more time to write it to the card) but in manual mode the difference is about two and in natural light/flash mode (which takes up the most time to write to the card anyway) it takes nearly five seconds to write to the card, while the Type H finishes at three. Both slow in my opinion, but at least the Type H doesn't make me feel like I might miss an important shot.
The difference in speed between a typical SD card camera and the xD Fuji is huge. It is nice to quickly take a shot, but it is not so nice to wait a second or more (depending on mode) to write the image to the card. It especially becomes painful when trying to take continuous shots. The more commonly available Type M is worse. While I'm not sure about the claims of Type H being 3X faster than M... it certainly feels like a tangible difference.
The size of the camera is also a bit hard to swallow. While not huge (compared to film cameras at least), if you compare it to a Canon Elph or a Sony W series it's huge. Even the F40fd is thin compared to it. I'd say for comparison that it's just a hair smaller than the AT&T 8525. It does however fit very well and snugly in a Lowepro Rezo 15 (thank you whoever reviewed that case and recommended it). So it's not huge, and certainly smaller in depth compared to the Canon A series of cameras.
The battery also annoys me. It is a Li-ion cell, which means that if you lose it or the charger you're essentially screwed. New chargers cost a pretty penny (go with third party stuff or your wallet will bleed), and the batteries are even worse (even third party stuff). Charging the battery on the included AC adapter is a long experience. I believe I may have read somewhere in the manual that it would take about three hours to fully charge, but my experience tells me that it's more than four hours to fully charge it. However the external charger can do it in about three (at least the Impact one I have). As an additional bonus the AC adapter can power the camera without the battery in. That and the battery life is suburb (Went through a 1 GB, a 512 MB and was into the 1 GB again before it finally died again).
There is also the matter of the camera being a bit difficult to adjust. In full auto mode the pictures don't look quite as good as other cameras taken in full auto mode. To me they look a bit washed out, overexposed, and perhaps a trifle too noisy (as the camera tends to push the ISO to 3200 when you disable the flash). You'll have to adjust the settings every so often. I do however find some useful tips in the reviews here as well as the forums at dpreview. It is nice to be able to tailor your settings to just the right ones to the situation (since auto in cameras sometimes makes mistakes), but it is a bit harder.
Overall a great camera, but not a perfect camera by any stretch of the imagination and certainly not even a good choice for many people.

Only takes blurry pictures.......2007-08-25
Maybe I got a bad one in the bunch. But this camera I bought only takes blurry and grainy pictures. Yes I know to hold the halfway for a second to let it focus, it doesn't matter. It's still blurry. The settings are on auto. I've tried other settings it's the same result.
A waste of 350+ dollars. My old camera (that had a mechanical flaw so I returned it) was much better, with less megapixels (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7). Unfortunately with Sony's camera, I had the feeling it was blurry, but didn't return it in time. Big mistake.
In the end it's all about the lens, not so much megapixels.
I'll never buy from Sony again. It's overpriced, overmarketed and shoddy.
I waited In line on black friday for this camera.......2007-08-07
...and was so happy to have found it.
I love having the 8.1 mega pixels.. because even though most of the time that's overkill... its nice to be able to zoom, and enlarge, whenever needed
I love the look of the metal casing
I love the large LCD screen
I love the many options that the camera gives you to play around with in manual settings... and that i can always go back to "auto" with the rotation of the dial
I love the beach setting, because it does make for wonderful blues that can be seen in the water and sky
I like the option of filming video clips with sound, at the rotation of a dial... and without the frustration of a heavy confusing video camera
I love that the pictures don't look like they came from a digital camera when they are printed out.
If you are looking for a sturdy, compact, quality camera.. and are willing to spend a few extra bucks.. I think you can feel comfortable in choosing this.
A great camera!.......2007-07-14
It was exactly the camera I was looking for but at half the price I expected to pay.
Sony Cybershot DSCW100.......2007-06-26
It takes such a clear, sharp picture. Easy to use and great lighting! I love it!
Excellent Camera, but a bit bulky........2007-06-26
I have had this camera for 2 months now and I love it.
There are a few downfalls.
1. If you have never seen this camera in person, its a bit bigger then most of the smaller camera's. So if you are looking for something tiny, this is not it.
2. Also, when you make videos you cannot zoom in at all, so don't purchase this to make videos.
This camera is very user friendly, without the manual it took me a few minutes to play with it & figure everything out. (Plus I have owned a SONY before). It takes beautiful pictures in all kind of lights & environments, you just to need set it on appropriate settings. Also you need to purchase a bigger storage card, if you plan on taking lots of pictures.

Great camera for an awesome price!.......2007-09-17
Recently, I got this camera for my 16th birthday and I really really like it. The features that are on the camera are brilliant and great for anyone who loves to take pictures indoors, outdoors, around beautiful scenery, in the snow, fireworks, etc.
Pros:
-large LCD screen
-easily accessible features
-nice flash (maybe too much)
-beautiful pictures once on the computer
Cons:
-grainy LCD pictures
-pictures in the dark (outside at night) are not so hot
-slow start up when you turn the camera on
All in all, I would recommend this camera to anyone, but it's not for the pros. This camera isn't really a "beginner's camera," but it is something like that, just better :-).

Basic cheap digital camera, but with all functions.......2007-09-20
Only I miss on this camera is the image stabilization, the rest, I can do everything with this camera, of course, with the basic functionality, but still everything
you can do better.......2007-07-27
I bought this camera for an industrial setting. We use it everyday for indoor conditions. It takes very poor pics under florescent lighting. If you go to ISO 400 it helps but still not great. The worst thing about it is the software. It's clumsy and un-intuitive. Worse yet, is if you don't want to use they're stupid software you're outa luck as it doesn't show as a drive that you can access. All and all go for a Canon (like I have at home). The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it hasn't broken.
Good starter camera .......2007-07-15
I've had this camera for almost a year now and it has been a pretty sweet little camera. It's easy to use with simple selection controls. It takes nice detailed pictures in just about any situation with just using the auto setting.
The main thing that I don't like about it is the lack of image stabilization. It takes a very steady hand to get good clear pictures without any blurring. Especially when using the optical zoom. I found the best way to consistently get nice clear pictures is to use the 2 second delay and mount the camera on a mini tripod to use as a handle to hold the camera with. The draw back with this is that you have to remember to set the delay before each shot and it only works well for still shots. It doesn't do well for action shots. It has a time lag so when things are moving, from the time you press the button till it takes the picture what you wanted the picture of has moved out of the shot. I found that I have to use "Kentucky Windage" and lead the subject (like hunting with a shotgun) to get the picture I want. And the little view finder on mine is way off from what the lens is. So I have to use the screen to line up my picture.
For taking just about any kind of pictures with it I always mount it on my mini tripod first. I'm a big man, 6'4" and 215 pounds, so I have some BIG hands. This camera is a little small for me to handle and keep my big fingers out of the way so the little tripod works great for me to hold it with.
Another drawback on this camera is the delicate door or cover that you have to open to access the memory card and to plug the patch cord into it. I don't have a lot of money and the camera dock seemed an unneeded expense just to load the pictures into my computer. So I'm always extra careful with my big fingers when I'm trying to open or close the little door/cover on the side of the camera. The access cover for the batteries isn't much better. I just know one of these days I'm going to brake one or the other.
For taking close-ups of things I'm amazed at the details that it will get. I've had a lot of fun taking extreme closeups of different things with it. Some I have used as backgrounds when working with my pictures on my computer. The details and colors that it gets when taking close ups of flowers is fantastic.
I have always liked taking pictures but the high cost of film and developing was more than I could pay. I love the idea of taking all the pictures I want without any extra expense. I have over 3500 pictures from this little camera stored on my computer now. And making my own prints with my computer/printer is way better too.
The Kodak picture software that came with the camera is OK, but it's pretty limited with what it will let you do with your pictures. I'm still looking for the program that does everything I want it to do. So far the Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 is the one that I use the most.
So as a starter camera to try getting into digital photography I don't think you could do much better than this one. It has it's drawbacks but for the price and for what it can do it has been a sweet little camera.
Good, I my last Kodak was better.......2007-05-18
I like the simplicity of this camera, and the easy share editing sofware it comes with. You can edit and send off for your digital pics in one easy step. then it allows you to place them in your online gallery to share with a click of the mouse. The camera has all the great features you love, including video, and modes for picutres suc as portrait, landscape, sports, etc. You can easily change flash modes, it is quick and easy to learn the features and use. I was using mine within 10 minutes of receipt! My only complaints: The batteries die kinda quick when you have the viewing screen on, and it sometimes gives me blurred pictures because it focuses on something that was in the foreground, instead of teh subject. this happens when I am taking pictures quickly wothout looking to see the focus brackets. other than that, a good buy!
Easy to use and inexpensive, poor screen.......2007-05-13
This product is very solid and easy to use, It has almost the funcionality of the others products and the price is low. The screen is small and hard to see on a day with sun.
