Good camera for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera takes great pictures. Very easy to use and has good features. Good video too. The only thing I don't like about it is when fully zoomed the pics aren't that great. For the money it is a good camera. This is a cropped pic I took with it fully zoomed. Its a little more blurry because it's cropped. The max file size is 5md this camera takes 7 mb pics. So I can't upload a good pic. The rabbit is cropped as well. Not sure if it was fully zoomed but it looks much better.

Slow between shots
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am still trying to figure out all the different menu options on this camera. It is not intuitive. The camera is light and small, which fits into a pocket or purse easily. My old Sony DS camera had a weird Sony card, but this one uses the regular SD card. I find it slow going from one shot to another, but that may be because I'm used to how fast an iPhone goes between shots.

good value for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The specs (20 megapixels, an equivalent range of 25 to 240 mm) are impressive, but this is still a pocket camera with a very small sensor, so there are limits to the achievable image quality. The pictures can be overly contrasty and sometimes grainy (under low light), and the camera is not totally immune to shaking. Still, under good conditions the results for the price are impressive, with fine detail and rich color. The on/off and shutter buttons seem annoyingly small at the beginning but are OK after getting used to them. Overall this is handy carry-along camera. Recommended.

Tiny, but nice size for travel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for an upcoming trip to DC. Needed something smaller that took good pictures as my phone is terrible and my regular camera is big and bulky. So far I like it. Takes a nice, smooth video. Shutter speed good. It is very tiny so if you have large hands it may be a bit awkward to hold and use. Have used it to take pictures of backyard birds, my dogs, and niece and nephew. Seems to take good action shots. Haven't used it for a long, continuous time so can't say much about battery life yet. Can't wait to use it in DC! *Side note, tried to upload some of my better action shots but since they were over 5mb, the site wouldn't let me.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes this come with a wrist strap?I cannot find where it has a slot for a strap or if one is even included (Does not say it is included)
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes it is included. Look at the back view screen and on the right side of camera look for the charging port. Right below this is a slit. Feed the loop of wrist strap into it and pull it out from the other end of slit and the loop it together for use.

Q: QuestionWill this camera automatically imprint the date and time stamp on each picture?Previously I have had cameras that would not. I had to tell it to imprint the time/date stamp on each individual picture. Very time consuming.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi, the camera has a setting called Write Date in which the date is stamped on the each picture after every shot. Thanks_Mitch

Q: QuestionWhy does it take so long to see the picture you just took?
Asked by Jednon.
- A:Answer I suspect that you are saving LARGE images. Check. It takes time to get these into your camera memory. SIZE is issue #1. Second, you might be using a "slow" memory chip. Today's large images encourage the use of fast chips, with upload speeds of 60mb/s or higher. I have most images from this camera at ~7MB/image. I use chips with speeds of 60mb/sec. SPEED is issue #2. You can set the JPEG compression to a higher compression, smaller saved image, and you can use faster chips. The camera performance will improve if you do those. Check out the recommendations on the $2000 DSLR and they sortof explain this.
