Boo Amazon! .......2006-11-04

Purchased this camera "new" only to find that Amazon had shipped me a previously returned unit. First tip off was the camera was already charged when I first opened the box. Second tip off was dog hair stuck on the black cloth case and the inside of box. Third tip off, some family's Christmas pictures already on the camera, complete with aforementioned dog and the packaging of the camera in the shots.

The camera has to be held very still in order to avoid blur, almost humanly impossibly still. The screen cannot be seen at all if you're outdoors in the daylight anywhere outside of complete shade, even then it's very hard to see. If the flash is on, it rarely will take more than two photos in a space of a few minutes, even even fully charged, you have to turn it off for at least half hour.

I have no idea if other units behave this way, but I am very sorry I did not find all these operational flaws before I let the Amazon service rep talk me into keeping this lemon for a small discount. Boo Amazon! They should have insisted on shipping me a new one and reimbursing me for the postage to return this one. I'd rate this with zero stars, but that isn't a given option.

junk.......2006-02-23

don't waste your money on this crappy camera. you'd be better off buying a disposable. flash doesn't work, poor quality pictures, just a big mistake as far as a purchase.

Received defective.........2006-01-18

Purchased one for my daughter for Christmas. Immediately had problems, faulty flash. Apparently this isn't just an isolated problem..as I gathered from a customer service technician. But that's just an uneducated guess from the conversation. Didn't need flash for sunlit photos but many were so grainy..many came out okay. Sloooowwww to use except for transferring photos to my computer..that was pretty easy and quick. It was okay for the money for my teenager. Good 1 year warranty as they offered a new replacement, without original packaging. All I had to do was call and they said send it right in for a complete replacement.

large display but dim indoors.......2006-01-01

The large display has big, easy to read menu commands, but the image is almost invisible with indoor lighting. Someone suggested that the LCD screen might eat batteries for breakfast because it's so big, but it just doesn't amplify indoor images enough to see what's going on. The photo quality is good. If you're outside most of the time and can't read the typical menu commands with a standard LCD screen, this camera's OK.

good camera .......2005-12-31

this camera was a gift on christmas and i really like it. It is not the best camera in the world but it gets the job done. It has a couple of small problems like if u take a picture too close to a object(like a person) it will just show a big white blob if u use flash. and if u take a picture to far away it kinda ends up purple. But other wise it is a very good camera for the money i also like that it has rechargable batteries because i hated having to keep going to the store to find the right one. I also love the fact that it has a 3 1/2 inch screen. so if you are looking for a good camera for a child and dont want to spend alot of money then this is a great camera for you.
