Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA (not even maybe)
Summary: 2 Stars
My parents bought this camera almost a year ago, and within an hour, I realised that I had to school them *again* about buying electronics before I research them. This camera is *almost* USELESS.
PROS:
1. On macro, in good light (read: bright, DIRECT, sunlight), the camera does have the potential to take the most AMAZING pictures
2. It's small, light, and easy to carry
CONS:
1. In anything other than good light (see definition above), the screen is dark, so you can't see what you're aiming at
2. The above would not be as frustrating if the camera had a view finder, which it does NOT
3. The camera takes *FOREVER* to process a picture once it's taken. That means standing up and staring at your camera for about 10 seconds in between shots. Not so great for parties, and get-togethers
4. The picture quality is terrible 80% of the time - the subjects are usually grainy and/or blurry, and the colouring is usually off kilter, especially when not in good light (see definition above)
5. You need to have steady hands to get in a good shot. A tripod would be a good investment, but that would be an insult to the tripod
6. It's no good at taking action photos. If any of your subjects move, you see a big blur
7. There just is not much functionality - basic things like timed shots don't exist on this camera, so forget about being self photographs
8. At night, the flash has a tendency to white-out everything if the subject is close, or leave everything dark and difficult to make out if the subject is far. The middle ground is so narrow, it's difficult to capture, but when caputred, refer to #4
9. Video (the quality of which leaves a lot to be desired) play-back does not have any sound - you have to wait until you put it on your computer to heard what you taped
10. It costs money! Head-aches are free, so I don't see why this camera isn't.
It's a no brainer. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA. The only reason I didn't give it one star was because, like I said, I have this camera to thank for some amazing macro shots I did - professional looking stuff. But it's just not worth it. Too many other cameras can do that for less head-ache.
