Awesome Camera, Except One Thing
on January 9, 2011
Posted by: Reviewman
This camera was a really great buy for me, and I've really been enjoying it. I like the knob on top because it helps to access different modes quickly. The image stabilizer is great until the shutters and zoom are both longer, like 1/4 second or more, but then you just use a tripod. The pictures in normal light are crisp and crystal clear, so there's no worry there. But the darker the environment, the worse the picture quality. In darker areas of the pictures, it is especially noticeable that the colors there are very chunky, not smooth.The borders between colors there are too defined when they shouldn't be. Thes is the one thing I dislike. The overall picture quality begins to degrade at 400 ISO, so don't do any more than that. Macro is great, video is average, but manual mode is the best because you really get to explore. Of course, the camera is still awesome when you just want the event recorded. I dropped it once; it still is working like it was. The battery life is very good, lasting me a good while, and since they're AA's they are easy to change. This camera is perfect for its price, but for anybody who likes indoor pictures more, or evening pictures, without flash, then, no, you don't want this. But to anyone else, buy this. This is the one.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance, poor colors in low-light
I would recommend this to a friend!
