handy memory maker

I took this camera to Hawaii last week and got some awesome shots. My daughter and I usually purchase identical cameras so we can trade off when necessary. She ususally makes an excellent choice. I want a camera with excellent zoom range so I can see the expression before I determine if the shot is good enough. I also want it handy to use. A bulky camera takes away from the enjoyment of the situation. This camera has both. It is also easy to handle and seems pretty sturdy. I only wish they could come up with a warning that says "your lens has water spots on it". My photos of Napali coast were less than ideal because my lens was dirty. I'd still buy this again in a heartbeat. Thanks for making it.
Cons: manual does not come with camera., i had to print out 185 pages and get it bound.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall Extremely Satisfactory BUT,

from I won't say.
Overall, I love this camera, but it takes away from the value because of the short battery life. I will be taking pictures for about a day or so, and then the battery will flash off telling me to replace the batteries. As a result, I either have to constantly keep batteries at hand or stop taking pictures altogether until I get new ones. This means that I miss ideal opportunities for a fantastic picture.
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, Complicated controls/menu
I would recommend this to a friend!

the instructions doen't really help. you can only use the continous shooting with certain modes. Kids and pets should be a setting for continous shooting but its not, the only setting i've found was manual, but it won't flash so you have to do all you continous shooting in day light. don't waste your money.
Cons: Difficult to use, Short battery life, Complicated controls/menu
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This camera is outstanding and would get five stars except for the instruction manual being poorly written. The signs/symbols instuctions are small and difficult to comprehend.
Pros: Simple controls/menu
I would recommend this to a friend!

i have had y cam for bout 6 months, i did not use it often until recently, and was dissappointed with it. first the otside shutter got stuck would'nt open, got that fixed. i took it to a concert, took many pics. zoom ws good except for the frequent random blurriness. the thing i hate the worst is when i push the button to get the pic, there is a delay of 3 to 5 secs maybe longer before the camera decids it is ready to do it. some of the pics were blck as if the camera stter didnt bother to open at all. i hate this camera.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Bright LCD
Cons: Missing features/settings, Poor image quality, Difficult to use, Complicated controls/menu, Flimsy Construction, delayed shot capture
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
