This review is from: Sanyo S650 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I purchased this in a store in November, as recommended by "Consumer Reports". It was on sale for 89.00 and that is because the new models are in for Christmas! Anyway, I really like this camera. It is easy to use and takes decent night portraits- that's low lighting in the livingroom around the tree- in my book. I purchased a 8MP Polaroid for my sister which is going back as the "tree" pictures she took were yellow, fuzzy and streaky. Everyone in the fam messed with hers, trying to get it to work with no luck. My Sanyo made up for it!

It is now being tested on a ski trip out west. I will let you all know how it does against the cold. I wish there was more feedback on this brand as I am definately a novice. Up until a month ago, I was still buying the cardboard disposables! I am shopping for a replacement for my sister's Polaroid and am considering this, even though it's 'only' 6MP's. It is hard to find reviews on the sanyo cams- and it's not really included in the Consumer Reports guide.

I do like it though as it is pretty simple and takes good pictures! Being new to the world of digital cameras, this won me over. If you want to experiment and not spend a lot of money, get it. I have read the 6MP's and 3x optical zoom is fine for general, family pictures. It even did a fine job at my kid's Christmas play ( I was in front row though). Hope this helps.

I bought this camera because it was the cheapest one I could find, and it had some decent reviews. I wasn't looking for anything more then to take pictures of friends and family - and other random everyday pictures. I ordered this on a saturday night and I got it this morning. I haven't used it a whole lot but the pictures I've taken so far have come out really nice, especially for being the cheapest one i found online! I'm glad I bought this instead of spending more for other cameras that will do the same thing. It's also pretty simple to use, I didn't even read the manual and was able to figure out how to use everything in about 45 seconds!

Great quality photos. My third digital camera and definitely the best photos. No way to plug into A/C to take photos at home. I burn through a pair of batteries at about 70 shots. Had to buy rechargable batteries and a quick charger with auto adapter. Overall, value for the money.
