5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera, April 1, 2009

By	Ronald D. Hubbs (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed a good camera and didn't want to spend a lot of coin. I picked this one b/c it had the lithium-ion rechargeable battery and was 10 megapixel. It's super easy to use and has great features. I have taken some close ups of things (macro) and I'm blown away by the detail quality. For [...] bucks, I don't know how you could beat this. Some of the shots i've taken already look professional and I don't even really know how to fully use it yet.

Great buy.

I am so glad I got this camera. It's small...but easy to use. The photo's I've taken so far have been great. It's point and shoot..but has features you can set to take specific photos..like beach, portrait, and night scene. It even has a panoramic setting . It also takes short videos. It's alot of bang for the buck. I bought it in plum and it's very pretty. Not as bright as in the photos. Great as a every day camera..I'm so very pleased!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased..., April 7, 2009

My husband surprised me with this camera as a gift about two weeks ago, and I love it! It takes great pictures once you get used to using all the settings. Like many others have said in their reviews, this is not an out of the box camera. You need to learn about the settings in order to get great pictures. The camera is certainly capable of great pictures, just take the time (it doesn't take all that long) to get familiar with your camera's abilities and you'll love it! And the color is BEAUTIFUL! I even found a camera case on Amazon that practically matches the camera! Yes, I am a blessed and happy wifey :)
