Useful camera, but with problems.......2006-10-10

I bought this camera looking for something rather simple to take pictures of service projects sponsored by my non-profit group, Service for Peace. I wanted a camera that was not too expensive, rather light and easy to carry, that would take XD cards (since I already had some from a previous camera), and that would be easy to use, since I often ask other people to take pictures at our events. Naturally, I also wanted clear shots, a durable camera, long battery life, and all those things.

Another requirement was that the camera NOT have a zoom lens. All things being equal, a good fixed lens takes better pictures than a zoom lens, and I don't mind moving around to find the best shot. I've also noticed that zoom lenses on digital cameras, because they have to stick out, can be easily dirtied or damaged. Fiddling around with the zoom control seems to make it easy to miss quick candid shots that look really good for documenting projects like ours. With this camera's 5 megapixel resolution, there is no problem cropping down to just the exact picture I need, and since I'm doing it at home with editing software, I can take my time and get it just right. I can also use the same shot for both close-ups and far-away shots.

So how did this camera shape up? It is light and easy to carry, and it is simple to operate. It generally works well for documenting my projects. I do have a few beefs with it, however.

The most important is that I have been having a problem from time-to-time recently with the camera saying the door for the memory card is not closed, even though it is. This is a problem because the camera will not do anything else until it is satisfied the door is closed. So far, I have been able to get the camera working by opening and closing the door several times, and reseating the memory card, but I know the day will eventually come when I will miss an important shot because of this problem. Also, I fear they day will come soon when just opening and closing the door will no longer solve the problem.

Another issue I have found is that if you put the camera in your pocket, it is quite easy to slide the OFF/ON button to the ON position. This does wear out the battery a bit before the camera goes into sleep mode, but a greater problem is that the whole time the camera is in your pocket, the lens is open, and can easily be damaged. A more recessed OFF/ON switch could solve this problem.

There is a considerable delay from the time when you press the shutter button until the shot is taken. I know this is a common problem in digital cameras, as the camera focuses, determines the exposure, and the like, but I find it annoying, and it has cost me many excellent candid and action shots. By the time the shutter actually operates, the moment is long gone. I was raised on 35 mm range finder and SLR cameras, and I really value instantaneous response when I take a picture.

The last issue I have with the camera is that when pictures are blown up, they are not very clear, even if taken at infinity. The lens is not sharp at all. Previously, I owned a cheaper camera, a Fuji Finepix A200, and the pictures were sharp as far as you could blow them up, but this is not the case with this camera. Another beef I have is that the individual pixels often are colors that jar significantly with the colors of the area they are representing, such as green or blue pixels in the area of a person's face. I assume this is an artifact of the compression algorithm used by the camera, but it looks pretty bad if you need to blow up a section of a picture in a situation, such as on a computer screen, where individual pixels are visible.

Still, I do find this camera useful, and although I have been tempted to take it back, I'm still using it. I give it three out of five stars.

Great First Camera.......2006-07-29

This is a great first time camera!! You can adjust the Mega pixel so you can down load them online. This Camera goes every where with me!! I do not like that the zoom does not go very far. And the biggest problem I seem to have with it is the delay on the picture!!! It takes about 4 secs to take a pictures after you push the button. I take alot of pictures where I need it to take right away! So I learned if you press the button half way down all you have to do it wait for what you want to take a picture of and press it and it takes it right away. I would recommend rechargeable batteries for this camera. I use it so much and normal batteries die so fast!! I would go though so many in a day. With rechargeable I charge them at night and the last all day long!!! This is a great First Time Camera!!!!!

Good Product.......2006-07-06

I do a lot of outdoor activities and wanted a camera that was not too expensive in case something happened to it so I purchased the D435. I have been extremely pleased with this camera. I did not expect the pictures to be as clean as they turned out to be. Even using the digital zoom, the pictures came out clear. I would suggest this camera to anyone looking for an inexpensive camera.

Great for home or work, adults or kids!.......2006-03-06

After using many different brands and models of digital cameras for home and work, I've finally found one that is perfect! I've been using it for months in many different situations, even using it at work when our Kodak failed at an event. The picture resolution is fantastic when set to best and with an extra memory card, I can use it for months without even uploading pictures. Uploading is super easy. Just plug in the USB cable and select the pictures you want to save on your computer or print. I use rechargeable batteries and I don't have to swop them out for a long while. It's super light and small enough to keep in my purse every day. We have a baby coming any day now and I look forward to catching all of the great moments on this camera!
