Didn't even last 6 months.......2007-04-07

This camera was worthless. It cost me a lot of money, and the quality was horrible. It took a long time for the pictures load and it had a slow shutter speed. This camera didnt even last for 6 months. and even before that a lot of times it wouldn't turn on right away and I would have to turn it on and off several times before it would start up. It was a very poor quality camera, for a lot of money. I dont recemmend this camera to anyone.

Great camera - when it works.......2007-03-07

Camera worked great right after we bought it in June 2006. By January 2007, it was slow to open, and I'd have to bang it with my hand or tilt it a certain way to get it to open and turn on. I'm going to see about the warranty to get it fixed.

Oh, it does eat batteries. But we started using rechargeables shortly after purchase, and it takes a lot longer for the camera to eat those... I can get triple the pics off rechargeable batteries.

I have no issues with downloading photos.

That is, when it works.

Shaky at best.......2007-01-20

I am a little disappointed with this camera. It seems to drain the batteries even when camera is not in use! I took it on my last vacation and it does take great pitures but it takes a lot of blurry pics too depending on the settings. The movie mode seems to work nice. You have to really watch your settings and adjust it constantly to according to your lighting conditions, etc... It seems to be very slow to take pics with the double flash. The cameral doesnt always turn on, I have to turn it on and off a few times even with good batteries for the power to turn on. Really annoying! The zoom I love but with all the great potential pic moments I lost because of because the recover time from taking pic after pic, ruined pics because a lot came out blurry I would recommend something else.

i like it.......2007-01-04

this is a very respectable camera in my opinion. though mine dont work anymore because i droppped it. well it works but the lcd is kinda on and off depending on which way you turn it. but when it hadnt broken, i was prefectly satisfied with the camera. huge lcd screen, get good batteries. respectable quality video, get a 1 GB or 2GB card to take advantage of it.

Good Camera, but batteries run out fastly!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-04

The LCD image is brilliant
The photos are sensitive to movements, a tripod is not a bad idea
The batteries run out fastly
