Nice camera.......2007-05-14

Nothing to complain, except slightly heavy and bulky (not too much though). Compare to my old S30, the battery life is greatly improved, and the turn-on time is shorter too. Picture quality and functions are also very good. Really love it. And its control is quite user friendly.

Excellent little camera - Great bang for the buck.......2007-04-05

I have owned this camera since it came out on the market. I have used many different digital cameras - and I believe this one has been the most user friendly and produces very fine images. It is well constructed- I take mostly outdoor/nature photos and having traveled extensively with this camera it has held up remarkably well.

I spent over 8 months in one year on fishing boats in the Bering Sea...no problems. This camera captured thousands of images (intervolometer option - awesome!) inside it's waterproof housing while strapped to the steel gantry's of 100' ships in less than ideal weather...no problem.

This camera went with me to the top of Ecuador's highest volcanos...only problem was the LCD freezing - now there are a few 'spots' on it...but hey...that was my fault and it wasn't exactly warm up there at 20,000'

So, yeah...it's a nice tuff little camera.

If you want to see some of my images from AK, check out - [...]
you'll need to click on each underlined link...and of course the image size has been reduced to save space....

Check it out!

Great Camera.......2006-11-30

A friend at work was just asking for advice on a camera as she had an early digital compact that was very un-user friendly. The conversation inspired me to post a review as this camera is so easy to use and takes fantastic photos.

Pros:
- Easy to use
- Picture quality is great
- Video is pretty good (not amazing but better than most out there)
- Size is good - not tiny but not big for the quality you get
- Stylish; looks nice
- You can buy a waterproof casing for it

Cons:
- The only thing that is probably the case with all compacts is its not super fast taking a photo. If you have used an SLR this will be a little annoying but overall its not a great problem and something you get used to with automatic focus.

I've been very very happy with this camera using it for travel and family shots. Thumbs up.

Good for us.......2006-09-23

Love this digital camera compared to our previous ones. We're mostly a point-and-click family, and this is an easy-to-use camera that does a good point-and-click and gives an opportunity to do more if you should so choose some day.

SLOW.......2006-08-08

At first I thought this camera was great, but owning it for 2 years now - I HATE IT. It's SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. The autofocus is SO SLOW. Reviewing pictures is SO SLOW. I can't stand it. Another thing I hate is the movie mode - it's only 10 FPS. I know the camera is for still photos, but my brothers camera at least captures movement at 30 fps. As for the actual photos it captures, they are fine - but then again I can't take any instant photos for those times when my niece and nephew are being cute for that split second. Buy this camera if you want a delay after delay. It's SO SLOW.
