DEC

2007

This is my 3rd digital camera and so far it is the best one I have ever owned. I had purchased this camera at the beginning of Nov. 2007. I had previously owned a Canon so when it came time to get a new one, I knew what brand I wanted. The camera is completely affordable and works great for the money. It has meet all of my expectations and even more. It is so user friendly and easy to use. I like how the buttons are just the right size and not too small. I love the size of the camera too. It's not to small and not to big either. I have 2 new babies in the family and this camera can actually keep up with them. It has so many different settings and all of them work great. I was shocked on how great the quality of the pictures were. The video quality is excellent also. There are only a few negative things about the camera. The memory card it comes with isn't big enough. It doesn't hold very many pictures at all. So you're going to have to buy a bigger one. The zoom buttons still frustrate me a little because I can't ever seem to get it right. I'm constantly zooming in when I'm trying to zoom out. The battery life is not bad at all. The camera itself came with batteries and I'm still using them. Actually the battery icon just came on for the first time today. I have taken about 200 pictures if not more with those batteries. Overall, the camera is awesome. Great pictures, great quality, and it's affordable.
