5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera, August 4, 2005

By	E. Randall (Rexburg, ID) - See all my reviews

I recently bought this camera and I love it. The pictures are awesome quality. I recently took it to a rodeo and using the action photo setting, took several pictures of bull riders and there was no blur. Using the portrait setting, I took several great shots of friends. While you don't get sound with your movie, it still turns out great. I have used this camera so much in the past few weeks. It is small and lightweight. I have a lot of photography experience with advanced SLR cameras and I needed a small point and shoot digital camera for quick pics. I am really impressed with the quality of this camera. I use it much more than my SLR camera now. I don't even have a memory card for it and it stores 13 or 14 high quality shots on it at a time. I am looking right now for a memory card so i don't have to keep uploading pictures, but it is worth every penny. I would recommend getting some rechargable batteries. Regular batteries get drained quickly and that gets costly. I would also recommend a memory card. I am glad i purchased this camera. Lots of people have commented to me on how cool the camera looks too. Overall 5 out of 5. It is a great camera to use. It is foolproof. Anyone could work it. the dial with different settings do the work for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first digital, August 22, 2005

By	Evelyn D. Cruze "evwings" (Crescent City, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband bought me this camera recently as he was tired of me always borrowing his. I love it. I didn't want too much camera for beginning and this one is so very user friendly. The display is a good size and very accurate. The pictures from using the zoom are not distorted. Downloading the pictures to my computer is very, very easy. I like the various features, and changing them is a two step process, but not difficult at all. The batteries do go down fairly quickly, but no more than my husband's Kodak. I haven't used the movie mode at this time.
For an easy to use beginner camera, the 545 is a good choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good camera for a beginner, June 11, 2006

By	rhododendron (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews

This camera is pretty good. I've updated mine since because I don't think 4 megapixels is enough, but if it's enough for you, good!

The picture quality when I developed them 4 x 6 is good. It's a lightweight camera and very sleek looking. Lots of shooting modes to choose from. Very easy to use. The cd it comes with to play around with your pictures is a nice bonus!

Now on to the bad...no viewfinder so your batteries get eaten up VERY quickly. There also is no sound for the movies, but I never used the movie mode anyway so I didn't care. The main reason I updated from this one is because the lag time when taking pictures is way too long! Mine would take up to 3 seconds, that's pretty slow if you think about it. Just smiling there...waiting for the picture to take...

I like this camera though. If you don't mind the lag time, it's perfect!
