A waste of money.......2004-10-01

I got this camera as a gift and while I first was very excited about having a camera which is so small you can take everywhere, I am now deeply disapointed. I guess I was very stupid to expect a Dimage Xg-like performance from a cheapo camera. The only condition where the camera seems to make somewhat decent photos is in cloudy daylight.
Don't even dream about making photos with the flash. Either under- or overexposed. Generally I am "throwing" 9 out of 10 photos away. The camera has serious exposure problems, the pictures always come out fuzzy and always a little "blue-ish". Recycling time is decent if the flash is off, if the flash is on (even if you did not use the flash - flash set to automatic) it takes *forever* to take the next shot.
If you look for a snapshot camera which you can take anywhere, buy a disposable film camera, you will make much better pictures with it.

Nice compact camera.......2004-06-25

I bought one of these last September, and really like it, as do my friends. It's very small and compact, and takes decent photos, enough for most snap happy people. I agree about the night time stuff. I dark light, the camera has to be a certain distance away. Too close and everything is white, too far away, and there's little to be seen, but you soon get used to it.

Very good in sunlight, although it does put a hue on the picture that some people might find annoying, but I kinda like it. Works very well with Mac OS X and iPhoto, and also compatible with XP without drivers but don't know what software is like.

A review.......2004-04-26

I bought this camera as a gift for myself on a trip to Cardiff. It was only 60£ on sale(Gadgetshop). And while it's not a professional camera, it's very nice for snapshots. I have found that if you shoot into the sun, it flairs badly and the sensor is overwhelmed in direct sunlight, But the camera does take reasonable photos. The camera suffers jpeg compression problems on large areas of similar colors, But on complex scenes they do not appear. The flash is only effective up to 12 feet. Night photography is not what this camera is designed for. But I like the features, The camera has a video output that can perform a slide show in PAL or NTSC formats, and uses SD/MMC flash memory. This contrasts with other less than 100£ cameras that need the batteries to maintain the photos. The movie mode is also a quite nice feature even without sound. And best of all the Camera does not require any drivers for a Mac using OS-X. One other note, the lens displays no noticeable barrel, or pincushion effects and no noticeable unsharp areas along the edges of the images.
