5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera, March 29, 2009

Ive had this puppy for about 3 months now and its great. Not sure what all the complaints are about blurry pictures because it has a feature called stabilization mode which prevents blurry pictures from taking place. There are over 20 different scene modes which allow you to adjust on the fly. I've been able to take pictures for landscapes, family photos, and goof around with it. Me and a friend were able to navigate the menus and take photos with one hand because the other hand was being used to ward off the other person from trying to take the camera. This is a fun and easy to use camera. Shutter speed is slow and if your taking pictures without the stabilization mode you need to hold the camera correctly and squeeze slowly for the shot. Being that its as small as you can get for a camera this isn't anything unexpected. Good bang for your buck.

***2 -yrs later*** Camera is still holding up strong and taking great pictures.

Cons: Battery life is abysmal. If I leave battery in camera without use, it is usually dead by the time I get around to using it. Bought an extra battery with charger so I can swap it out when I need to. Can't tell you how many times I've gone out and took a couple of pictures before the battery died. Other than that, it's a good camera.

I wanted an underwater camera for when I dive but didn't want to spend to much and didn't want a huge camera. For the price and the size this camera is good. It takes good pics. The closer you get to what you are taking a pic of the better. Also it will take a few seconds for the pic to be taken after you push the button. Also you have to be steady when you take the pic. But overall I have liked the pics that I have taken.

3.0 out of 5 stars Battery Life not that great, December 13, 2008

I'm a little disappointed with the battery life on this camera. I've had other cameras that have lasted alot longer. I just used it tonight for a night parade and kept it on inbetween floats and it only seemed to last about 30 minutes.

It could need a replacement battery but it is only 3 weeks old. It works great for outdoor daylight shots, but doesn't really do that great in low light even with a flash.

Is is okay for the money, but I would recommend that you save the extra money and get a little more expensive camera.
