A REAL CAMERA.......2006-11-05

If you want a sturdy camera for the great outdoors with plenty of zoom power, this is it.

Great camera -- SLR quality photos.......2004-08-17

This is the Deluxe edition of the camera I am referring to in this review. This is a very good camera, at an affordable price, that takes excellent pictures. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is its inability to take good night pictures without using a tripod. My old Samsung had a night setting that took outstanding night pictures without a tripod. I wish I could get the same quality with this camera. Also, there isnt' a continuous shooting function or a Macro function (the specs say 2.6 ft is the closest with this camera, although, I've found out by experimenting you can get closer than that) that I had with my Samsung either. Those are the only flaws with this camera. I am still trying to master the settings, but most of my pictures come out SLR quality (primarily using ISO 800 film).

As with any camera, there are a few quirks with the settings that you have to get used to and play with. One thing I don't understand is why some people don't read the manuals. Granted, this is not the best manual I've seen, but if you read it, you might learn something about the camera. Some experiments actually come out better than you expect. The red-eye reduction works great, as does the fill-in flash. The focus is automatic, but a focus lock is possible. That is something I am still experimenting with.

All in all I am pleased at the quality of the photos I have taken with this camera.
