Although this camera is pretty good at taking pictures, many websites including Visioneer's own site and Tiger Direct claim this is an autofocus camera. BEWARE. It is a fixed focus lens unit, like the disposable types you buy in drug stores.

We have also had some problems connecting the LX200 to the USB port, but I suspect these can be solved by minor software changes.

The view screen is somewhat washed out looking.
It has many good features, BUT NO AUTOFOCUS (like Amazon.com says).

I am very disappointed with this camera, from the quality of its pictures to the quality of the camera itself. Save your money and add another 75-100 dollars and buy a real digital camera. I have a Sony Digital camera that I used to borrow from work with less resolution that takes better quality pictures. At one time I lost all my pictures on my card because I slightly (and I mean slightly) bumped the camera, and these pictures were from my European trip that I cannot get back.

I had a chance to buy one about 5 months ago ... but didn't due to the reviews here. Wish I had not relied on them cause this puppy works fine for me in all aspects. I was looking for a entry level digital to use instead of disposible cameras. It produces good quality images even in economy more and the 8meg internal memory gets about 120 pics. It does have problems in low-lighted areas but so does all point and shoot cameras. Was actually suprized by how good the quality of the images were once they were dumped to the computer. The thing works fine for my needs so far.

Addendum: 1 week after buying it the TV output stopped working. Trying to get a replacement rather than a refund cause I like the it so much at the price I paid for it.

I bought the Visineer LX200 around December as a Christmas gift for my fiancé. We used it for about 2 weeks and grew very annoyed that the viewfinder is blurry and barley usable. The pictures come out sub-par because the way it renders the light is never quite right. On top of that, my camera stopped working after a few weeks and I have not been able to get assistance from Visioneer to solve the problem.

An unhappy customer of the Visioneer LX200,

I got this camera last week & I'm really having a good time with it. It's the first digital camera I've ever had, so I don't really have much to say by way of comparison. I already made 3 movies and impressed my friends. It's really light, it doesn't make any noise, and it's almost perfect. I would give it a 5 if it had sound & if the web cam feature worked with Mac OS X. The software that comes with it is all for PC, but I didn't need that anyway (with the help of iMovie).

This is a nice camera for amateur photographers like myself. The picture quality is good, although not as sharp as more expensive cameras. My biggest complaint is that the pictures seem a little washed out; they don't have the vibrant color of more expensive cameras. I've used this camera for a few years now, and it's been very reliable. The battery life is decent, but I recommend using rechargeable batteries to save money in the long run.

Bottom line: This is a nice entry-level camera that should meet the needs of most amateur photographers.

Visioneer has made digital cameras affordable, but you can do better with a little bit more money. I took over 2,000 pics with my camera in the course of one year before it gave out. Now I have to go out and buy another camera. I called Visioneer and they do not do repairs. Visioneer is a basic and descent intro level camera...but you get what you pay for. For another $75 you can go out and get a good Sony or Olympus with better service. But if you don't want to spend the money you get what you pay for with Visioneer
