About this product

Product Information

This camera is equipped with an approximately 6.0 million camera effective pixel 1/2.5-inch Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Also, with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened. This camera is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140 mm (Telephoto), and f/2.6 (Wide Angle) - f/5.5 (Telephoto) aperture. The recording pixel settings now include a "Widescreen" mode that has the same aspect ratio as 16: 9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. Adding ISO 800 has resulted in a faster shutter speed even when shooting in dark environments. This camera is equipped with an upgraded 2.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Grid lines are displayed for easier photo composition when the camera is in the Shooting mode. With the newly added Night Display, the camera automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject when shooting in dark conditions. The speed of continuous shooting has been increased to approx. 2.3 shots/sec. A function to create a folder to store recorded images by shooting date or shooting month has been newly added. Along with this, operability in playback mode has been improved by the addition of such features as a function to jump to and display the first image of each shooting date.

Amazing quality, but low battery icon.
I absolutely love this camera! The quality is exactly what I was looking for. It’s amazing! However, after one week of using it the low battery icon popped up, and I’m confused as to why that is because the batteries I put in were brand new. Not sure how to fix this problem, but it’s still great.

Good all-around point-and-shoot camera
Overall, this is a fairly good, economical point and shoot camera. The thing I like about it is that it is designed to use non-proprietary batteries (2 AA) which can be either regular alkaline or rechargeable type. This feature also, necesarilly, makes it a little bigger than the majority of cameras on the market these days; a feature which I really like. Most cameras are getting so small lately it's actually hard to hold on to them and keep your thumbs out of the lens view especially if you happen to have big "man hands". It generally takes very clear quality photos in daylight conditions on "auto" mode if you have it set on the (Large) setting and the shutter lag is manageable. The exception to this is if taking photos at night; the picture quality is often discernably grainier although I have taken good night shots with it but it is very "hit-or-miss" even when using "Night-Shot/Low Light" mode. Also, the shutter lag is sometimes horrible in dark conditions (5 to 8 seconds! or in the extreme case, never takes the picture at all; just sits there blinking). And once a night-picture has been taken when the flash is being used it seems like you have to wait another 5 to 8 seconds before the camera is ready to take the next shot . Definately not the camera you want if you need to take quick successive low-light shots. I guess it takes time to re-energize the 1.2 GiggaWatt flux-capacitor for the flash. It takes pretty good video as well; definately not HD quality but then the file sizes stay manageable. Also there seems to be an unexplainable fluctuating grinding background noise on the videos audio track at times. It's subtle but noticable. Also, while on the subject of memory, I've used cards up to 4GB in size, but the 4GB card I used was a regular SD card which they appearently no longer make in leu of the new SDHC format. This camera does not recognize this new format or at least in memory sizes over 2GB. So unless you can find regular SD mem cards made before they stopped producing them in the larger than 2GB SD format, I guess you are limited to 2GB(SD)(not SDHC). This will be limiting only if you are taking lots of video at one time. I've owned the camera for about 4 years now and have noticed only one quality issue; the retractive lens cover sometimes only partially retracts (gets stuck). It's very easy to open it with a little motivation from your finger but you will have to notice it before you take pictures or your picures will be framed kind of trapezoidally. the reverse is also true; sometimes it does not close fully; more difficult to coax it closed. It is pretty simple to use too. I haven't used all the manual modes but it seems to be fairly packed with features if you want to take the time to use them optimally. I paid around $150 for it on sale so I think it's a pretty good camera for the price. One other thing to consider before you buy a small digital point-and-shoot these days is that most new smart phones have digital cameras built in which are even better quality that this dedicated unit.Read full review

Not new anymore but has a lot of strengths.
This is an old camera now, but it has some advantages. The picture quality is decent. AA battery power allows incredible shooting time compared to most modern cameras. Finally, this camera works really well with CHDK. You can lock focus, blank the screen for all day timelapses without any need for external battery power, all sorts of things work great with this camera. Still worth it's weight!

Nice point and shoot camera
This camera combines decent quality digital photography with convenience and ease of use. The 4x optical zoom works well, but the 4x digital zoom simply sacrifices resolution to fill the picture with whatever you're trying to capture. You'd be better off just using some decent image processing software to crop and resize the image. I do not recommend the "movie" mode of the camera at all. You'll get much better results with an actual camcorder. Because of the lack of impressive optical zoom this camera is only so-so for sporting events where the action is hundreds of feet away. Overall, however, the camera takes great quality pictures for common tasks. Toss out the virtually useless 16 megabyte SD card that comes with it and replace it with a 4 gig card and snap away.

probably not the best camera, but reliably does a decent job. has macro, auto, landscape, portrait settings, auto focus on or off, can shoot short video with sound. I got an sd card with more memory than the original, hey, this one cost me $12, works great.
