THE Best Camera for all ages and stages.......2007-07-03

I got this camera for Christmas in 2005. It is my first digital camera and I must admit that when it dies, I will be so upset! I've taken this on two trips to Hawaii and have awesome pictures every time!! I even get great pictures of my animals around the house. I also took it with to both my proms and have excellent pictures!

The Pros: Great zoom, Not small enough to lose, Great options I actually use, Doesn't eat up batteries

The Cons: Nothing comes to mind!

We love this camera.......2007-02-20

Rumor has it Konica Minolta is getting out of doing digital cameras which is really a shame. This camera been wonderful since we got it 2 years ago. The first year we had it we stored over 2000 pictures on our computer making it easily pay for itself when compared to the standard camera it replaced.

This camera takes crisp, quick pictures. For me the lag time is most important as we have small children. If the camera doesn't take the picture quickly it is useless. You do need to practice getting the camera locked into focus before taking the picture in order for it to be very fast but overall I have been able to take wonderful pictures of my children.

The zoom and macro features are wonderful as well allowing me to get close up pictures and details on things that can be difficult with other cameras.

The only downside could be the size of the camera as it cannot fit into a pocket. But for us this is actually a plus as it is not easily lost. For us, the zoom and the quality of the pictures make the bulk worthwhile.

I highly recommend this camera.

Fabulous Camera To Own.......2006-07-15

I have been using this camera for the past 2 years and it still works fabulous and it has all the great features what one will be looking at. Although 3MP is lesser than all the other cameras available in the market, the picture quality is awesome. I have taken lots of photos when driving in the car, I gotta say, it never shakes. I love this camera. And most of all the things its dirt cheap when compared for other cameras with the same quality,

Great camera if you learn how to use it........2006-04-21

I bought my camera from Amazon several weeks ago and took it on a trip to Turkey. The product has a lot of controversy: most love it, some hate it. Here is what I have to say:

Overall, a great travel camera and outdoor pictures are just fantastic. 8x zoom is superb, you can really get smallish things in detail. Colors are great when outside. Macro functions are just awesome - you can bring camera to an inch from the object and get a crisp, clear picture! And tons of manual controls - you can control shutter speed, aperture, focus, sensitivity, which was particularly nice to get better quality snaps - I strongly recommend before you start taking pictures to read the manual carefully - it is good - and learn how to use all the features. It CAN be a point and shoot camera, but sometimes you just cannot count on using the automatic setup to get what you want. Until I did it, some pictures were disgraceful. When I learned the camera, most are amazing.

Now, some problems:

First two I quickly learned how to deal with:

1. Night pictures often don't come out nice - use night portrait
feature and white balance. HIGHLY recommended to get tripod if you want to shoot during the night
2. Red colors are too conspicuous in indoor and night shots - once again, learn to use white balance!!!! Actually, most of it can also be made up for using their amazing imaging software - I really loved it, it works, and it is relevant.
3. Now REAL problems - when indoors or bad light, autofocus may or may not work - it is pretty much the matter of luck. My only recommendation - take several pictures and see what comes out right. For this, I also recommend to have at least 256 mb SD card for this machine.
4. And the shutter speed for indoor filming is unpredictable - once again, it may come up just right or may - well... get your pictures dark.

The buttom line: if you need camera mostly for indoor use like taking pictures at the parties - probably, there are other models available for the price. If you are outdoorish, travel a lot and mostly take outside - this is an amazing buy for the money.

And yes, it will look great on you! I heard 'nice camera' several times before I got to Istanbul.

great first camera - get one while you can.......2006-03-24

I did lots and lots of research and this camera looked like the best deal for my daughter and me. It did not disappoint me. My 10-year-old had it up in running in no time with no previous camera experience. The software is great even with my win98se O/S. It gives you many choices for resolution and quality (compression)but even at 640x480 it takes nice pictures, giving you 150 pictures on the 16M card it comes with. The max 3.2 megs on this is plenty of resolution unless you want to do posters. What a deal. Made in Korea, and they can be picked up new for a song online with extended warranty. I recommend Samsonite for the bag. They have a nice one at a decent price. The ergonomic design of this camera makes it hard to find a good bag.
