great camera.......2003-05-19
not mac friendly.......2000-12-12
the only redeaming quality is the USB connex.......2000-11-12
If you aren't going to use a tripod, or put the camera on an imobile surface, you're going to have a problem getting pictures of any worthwhile quality. Every picture i've taken without a tripod has been blurry and poor quality. I'm not a novice when it comes to taking pictures...this cam just doesn't do a good job.
I tried many different exposure methods, many different quality settings in combo with exposure methods, and the pictures always came out too light, too dark, fuzzy, or just plain crappy.
If you are planning to make photo quality prints, this is the wrong cam for you. If you want nice clear pics to put on your web pages, this is the wrong cam for you. Frankly, I can't think of a situation you'd want to use this cam.
I, instead, decided to fork over a bit more money, and bought the olympus 460Z, and couldn't be happier. Check it out by searching electronics for olympus 460....that and the new 490 are EXCELLENT cameras with wonderful features and crystal clear images.
Even for a beginner, there are much better cams than this one.
Good for entry-level and webpage editing.......2000-10-14
Good starter camera.......2000-08-29
