Customer Review: good pics and features but slow
Positives: 1. Size is very small- wife loves it, goes in purse easily 2. Decent pics 3. Numerous features- including video+zoom…I like the “Backlight” scene since lot of photos the subjects face goes dark if their background is very bright and this corrects for that (with a flash) Negative: 1. Being used to a Canon, there is a big delay in this one..you press the trigger and hte lcd goes blank for longish time….(I think it has taken the pic so u can move your hand..its just writing to the card…which does not hurt the pic I think…) but annoying anyway..
Customer Review: A good option if your expectations are not high
If you are looking for a camera and size and price are your concerns, this is a good choice. At around $100, 8mp and a very slim desing, it is a good buy. However, if image quality is important to you, then you would be better served with a Canon or a Sony. Of course, that would mean that you would have to spend around $50-80 more.
