a good pocket camera.......2005-08-23

I brought this camera some time back and I have not regretted it. I was Just looking for a digital camera only, no voice, no movie, just something to take pictures and this camera at the price and resolution was pretty good. The pictures and resolution are great and the camera sturdy I also brought a 1 gig card for it and together they make a unstoppable pair almost 400 pics at high resolution, WOW! excellent! I think fo a shutter bug like my self. It will also print directly to printer or I can copy the images directly from it on my computer with out any additional software.

Amazing for its price.......2005-08-02

This camera has probably the best and more solid metallic case I've ever seen. The quality of the materials used is incredible for a medium range camera. The 2" screen (huge) on the back is a little bit grainy, but it's very fast and with an high refresh rate. The software on the camera is pretty good, highly customizable, but as another user already pointed out, there is no way to change the shutter time. You MUST use a tripod if taking pictures during the night (if you're using bestshot and without the flash), and they're a little bit grainy too, but pictures taken during the day are just awesome (real 6MP); there is also the choice for taking "widescreen" pictures (3:2) and I love that!
Besides the night pictures, this is a great camera and for its price, built quality, and overall features, I'd definitely raccomend it to everyone!

Good camera for daytime photos; not so good for night photos.......2005-03-29

This is a compact camera with solid metal construction. Startup times and shutter lag are extremely fast for a digital camera. Daytime and flash pictures are excellent. Macro pictures of flowers are pretty sharp. I'm also happy that the camera runs on AA batteries. Low light focusing is very good. Nightime pictures illuminated by street lights are okay when the camera automatically chooses a shutter speed of 1/8 sec and ISO of 250. However, anything darker than that requires the use of the nighttime scene best shot mode. Under nighttime scene best shot mode, the camera chooses a shutter speed greater than 1/8 sec. Often it may chose between 2-4 seconds, which means that one absolutely needs a tripod to avoid image blur caused by camera shake. It would have been nice if the camera offered manual control of the shutter and aperature settings because I can take reasonably shake-free photos up to a shutter speed of 1/2 sec and sometimes I don't want the camera to automatically chose a shutter speed longer than I think is necessary. Another annoyance is that the noise reduction system takes on average about ten seconds to process long exposure pictures. I suppose this frustration made me to return the camera and get a Canon A85 camera with manual controls instead even though the Canon A85 operates slower than the Casio QV-R62.
