liay says "Fun for the casual photographer" about Nikon - COOLPIX L5 Digital Camera

liay — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:17:08 GMT

My son uses this camera and he has taken great pictures from it. In general, this camera works well. The quality of the photos is outstanding for a non-SLR digital camera. The only drawbacks are that the zoom is not powerful enough, the digital zoom is too pixelated, and that the focus is inconsistent. In addition, sometimes taking photos in the dark or at night may lack quality. I like the menu and options that are provided as well as the handy USB cord and camera holder that came with it. The coolpix is in a nice shade of blue with a pretty sleek design. Kids and adults alike will find it easy to use. This camera is perfect for the everyday layman who cringes at the sight of those fancy high-end models. With two double A batteries and an SD memory card, literally anyone can start taking pictures right out of the box. The coolpix line has also been in a commercial with Ashton Kutcher for anyone who cares.

liay says "Amazingly Awesome" about Nikon - D50 Digital Camera

liay — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:09:43 GMT

I have been using the Nikon D50 with my students in photography for the last semester and I must say that these cameras are built like tanks. Kids really don't care for them well, but there have been no issues with any of them so far except for a vandalized USB port. These cameras take pictures of amazing quality and are really easy to use. My students and I love the knob that lets you select many different types of features from motion and macro to landscape and night photos. One cool feature is the bulb mode, where you can use flashlights to draw anything that the camera will capture. For example, our class drew names, wings, and halos using a Nikon D50. The students enjoy using these cameras and I recommend them for any aspiring photographer or professional. These cameras are useful whether you know nothing about taking pictures or even if you have been doing it for years. The versatility and quality of the images is worth every penny!

storm1 says "best camera ever!" about Panasonic - DMZ-TC5 Digital Camera

storm1 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:07:18 GMT

When we were looking for a new digital camera (since digital cameras are like computers - there's always something new and improved) we had a tough time trying to find the right one. There are SO many to choose from and different stores carry different models of the same brand, so it was really tough to choose a good camera for what we needed for.

We've never tried a Panasonic camera before so we weren't too sure about the quality and the usability. But after looking at and testing out many digital cameras for several weeks, we saw the Panasonic Lumix on sale. It was already on our list of cameras to choose from and we had narrowed it down to either a Sony or the Lumix. And we are so glad we chose the Lumix digital camera!

The Lumix comes with a 10X optical zoom, it has a Leica lens, and a very wide viewing screen. I'm not too sure why we decided to choose the Lumix. Maybe it was the price since it normally costs quite a lot, but it did have a lot of features that the other digital cameras...

cneismann says "The Kodak Easy Share C875 is simple and takes great pictures." about Kodak - EasyShare C875 Digital Camera

cneismann — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:55:47 GMT

Earlier this year I bought the Kodak Easy Share C875 digital camera. I bought it after reading online reviews of the camera and checking consumer reports. The camera was pretty highly reviewed and affordable. I paid less than 100 dollars for my camera and am thrilled with it. It comes with a computer cord, editing software and camera case, and I also purchased a memory card for 15 dollars to go with it. The picture quality is good, it has a video option, can take pictures in a pitch black room that turn out like you were taking them in the middle of the day and its very very simple to use. I basically just point and click and the camera does the rest. The editing software has fun options and is also easy to use. The only problem I had with this camera is that it doesn't store many pictures at all without a memory card, but for 15 dollars I fixed that problem and have never needed another, I can just pop out the card to print the pictures at the store or can upload them...

sarahjo05 says "great camera that will fit the cost and quality requirements" about Samsung - S630

sarahjo05 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:53:29 GMT

This camera is a nice and fairly inexpensive alternative for someone looking for a quality camera that is not at the extreme top of the line. This camera offers six megapixels of photo quality, and I have been nothing but impressed with the quality of prints that this camera has produced. The camera offers a fairly standard optical zoom of 3x, which allows you to zoom in on objects at a distance before taking the picture. One of the best qualities that I love on this camera is the anti shake mechanism, which is a sysem that is in place to help steady your images before taking the picture. I did not have this feature on my old camera, and it is something that drew me to this camera. Honestly, you can't beat the price, and samsung is a quality brand that offers great customer service and warranty guidelines that will help keep you protected against your purchase if something were to malfunction with the camera. Definitely not prfessional material, but great for a teen or a first...

hulapants says "SUPER SLOW. don't get this camera." about Nikon - Coolpix s600 Digital Camera

hulapants — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:37:33 GMT

I purchased the Nikon Coolpix s600 digital camera about a year and a half ago. I purchased this model because I did a lot of research and I wanted to purchase the camera that was the fastest--you know, where I could quickly point and shoot and catch the photo I wanted to catch without having to wait for it to focus or whatever.

This was the camera that consistently came up in my searches, and I have no idea why!!! it's a stupid camera, it's not fast at ALL. you have to press the button down exactly the right way for the exact right amount of time otherwise it doesn't take the photo!

also it doesn't hold a charge all that long, and to re-charge the battery you need to take the battery out and put it in it's separate battery charger. not a big deal I guess, but I prefer just sticking the entire camera on one charging station and letting it charge that way.

The pictures I do take end up coming out pretty nice though, but I sitll don't recommend this to anyone. it's slower than all of my friends...

sheiman says "Love my Canon PowerShot SD780 IS" about Canon - SD780 IS Digital Camera

sheiman — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:32:39 GMT

I received a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS for my birthday this past summer, and what a great gift it is! First of all, it's adorable and I got the red version - it also comes in silver, gold, and black. I'm no photography expert but this camera makes my photos look professional! I can't even tell you how many people have said "wow, nice camera" because it's so small and cute - and then when they see the photos it takes, they're even more impressed.

This Canon has really easy to use settings for someone like me who has only a passing familiarity with photography. The digital zoom is great and I particularly love using the digital macro setting to take photos of flowers and such.

Another great feature is that you can zoom while using the video camera setting! My previous camera (an earlier Canon PowerShot model) didn't allow for zooming while filming. Plus, this camera takes HD film and it looks really, really great.

Other settings I love are the aquarium setting and the fireworks setting. I've...

Antosha says "Good price, great camera!" about Canon - PowerShot A410 Digital Camera

Antosha — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:10:41 GMT

I have had much experience with Canon digital cameras. Most of my experiences have been positive with them. The recently released Canon Powershot A410 combines all the positive aspects of Canon digital cameras into a well-rounded product. 3.2 megapixels is enough for any average photographer. The best thing in my opinion is the 3.2 optical zoom. Many times you don't find an optical zoom on cameras in this price range. Optical zoom is important because it allows for more clear and precise zooming as opposed to digital zoom. If you want a small camera, the size of the Canon Powershot A410 is perfect. Small enough to fit into your pocket, but not too small where the buttons become a pain to operate. The only downside to a small camera is the size of the LCD screen. However, the LCD on this camera is easy to view even in the glare of the sunlight. A bonus for a camera at this price level is the movie recording option. This is a great extra that will allow you to capture little video clips of...

desertlover2010 says "Good Easy to Use Camera" about Kodak - Easy Share M1073 Digital Camera

desertlover2010 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:29:21 GMT

I have a Kodak M1073 Easy Share camera. I don't have the dock that goes with it. I've had it at least six months and it has taken me that long to learn how to use it. The features displayed on the camera are so small that they are very difficult to use.

It has so many features that I haven't even explored. I mainly got it because it has a large display of what you're taking a picture of. It is a 10 mp camera and has image stabilization ( a very good feature). Also has face detection and HD stills.

I have used it mainly to post pictures to selling sites, local advertising. The most difficult part is figuring out the computer software for pictures. It is totally maddening to try to resize a picture. Then you have to go someplace else to crop, sharpen, etc.

I have only recently figured out how to do that. It can be quite difficult when you are teaching yourself how to do something. It's not really the camera's fault. It's been a very good camera. Oh, it also takes short...

lilmissmaria37 says "Great Picture!" about polaroid - t730 Digital Camera

lilmissmaria37 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:10:40 GMT

I bought the polaroid digital camera about 1 year ago and paid $75.00 USD for it. it is small and compact and fits nicley into a jean or shirt pocket. it comes with a protective case and a carry string. its 4in wide and 2in tall. has a 2 1/2 in wide by 1 1/2 in tall view screen thats very clear. the setting are easy to use and navigate thou. it has a zoom also. It also take really clean video up to about 5 mins. it originally will ony hold about 6 picture or a 1 mins video but it can take SD memory cards for as much memory as you want. the card and battery are easy to install and the charging of the battery is done quickly. there are diffrent settings for the flash and when it is not needed it doesnt use it. it charges up and is ready to use after each picture taken when a flash is also used. it has a preview after each picture is taken and you can also go to the vie area to see what you already have and delete if needed. same way for the video. the picture are clear and clean and even...

grenmse says "Best digital camera I ever owned." about Olympus - Stylus 820 Digital Camera

grenmse — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:26:52 GMT

I really love my little red Olympus Stylus 820. It is an eight megapixel 5X zoom camera that is compact and easy to take anywhere. I like it so much better than lugging my huge manual camera everywhere to conventions and on vacation. Instead of a seperate bag for my camera I can just slip it in my purse or pocket and go anywhere. Everyone in my family likes it and wants to borrow it!

Some of the features I enjoy the most are the hyper LCD screen which is very clear and large enough (roughly 2 by two and a half) for even my elderly family members to see clearly. It pans and adjusts in real time so you can see exactly what you are shooting and align it just right. The other thing I really love is the easy to use menu function. The buttons are pretty staightforward once your learn them and you can tab through all your pictures to look at them one by one. Or there is a cute feature where you can make it feature a neat little slide show with fade in, scroll, etc. complete with music! Then when...

PaisleyGirl says "Loved the camera, until recently when it died for no reason" about Kodak - M1063 Digital Camera

PaisleyGirl — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:39:58 GMT

My father-in-law bought this camera for me on Black Friday in 2008 and gave it to me for Christmas. I had wanted a small reliable camera to take pictures of my son who was due to be born in the spring. The camera worked great for the first several months until one day I went to turn it on and only received a single beep and a light flashing saying that the battery needed to be charged. We tried several times to charge the battery, it would say it was finished charging but would still not turn on. I bought a new battery thinking maybe mine had gone bad. But even after charging all night it would not turn on. My husband called Kodak and they were very nice helping him to run several diagnostic tests and finally decided to have him ship it too one of their affiliated servicers. I sent it (had to pay for my own shipping) and received it back after a couple weeks. The camera turned on and worked, but now half the pictures were fuzzy and out of focus. We called Kodak again and convinced them...

valbobal says "Great value, easy to use but still full of options and features." about Casio - EX-Z80 Digital Camera

valbobal — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:14:10 GMT

I bought this point-and-shoot as a replacement for my old, chunky and outdated camera. I was pleasantly suprised by the amount of features available for such a good price! With 8.1 Megapixels, it can definitely take high quality pictures and videos are of decent quality, but still grainy when expanded on a computer screen. This camera is highly portable and easily fits into my little purse when going out. The only reason I gave this camera 4 stars is because of its durability and customer service.

The Exilim camera is very fast to turn on and I can take a picture within 3 seconds of hitting the "On" button - a definite plus when you only have a quick moment to take a photo! The flash works great, but like all digital cameras I've ever owned, the color is sometimes a little weird when taking indoor photos in a different lighting, say a restaurant. I love the face recognition because it automatically focuses on the faces in the frame, so you're much more likely to have clear faces, not blurry...

GINAKOENIGSMITH says "Golden Oldie ... But keeps on ticking! " about Kodak - EasyShare CX7330

GINAKOENIGSMITH — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:05:56 GMT

I have had the Kodak Easy Share cx7330 for almost 5 years and never had any problems with it. It is old school compared to some of the camera's out there now but it serves it purpose! I am able to store hundreds of pictures with the card that is optional to buy. It has easy to use dials and on screen Led instructions. It takes decent pictures in the right light. However you need to read the directions to fiqure out what all the symbols are for, this will give you the best pictures. It has a zoom option but I have found that when it is used the pictures do not turn out to be the best quality. I have shared many memories with this camera and would recommend it to anyone who is on a budget and just needs a digital camera. The batteries will last a long time if you buy the digital camera batteries otherwise plan on spending a paycheck to buy regular batteries as it chews them up pretty fast. It does have a auto shut off to help conserve the battery life.

gingerbread78 says "Great little camera for a good price" about Kodak - EasyShare Z740 Digital Camera

gingerbread78 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:50:02 GMT

We've had this camera for four years, and it's never given us any problems (until recently). I was slow getting into digital. This camera was easy to learn to use. It takes excellent pictures, has a several different settings you can change to your needs. You can change the shutter speed up to an 8 second exposure. It's a great point and shoot. Now the problem we have with it is it won't focus on anything. The auto focus doesn't seem to be working at all. Every picture turns out blurry. The more I zoom in, the worse it is. There was never any issue at with it until then.

akjane says "Finally documenting my family's life again1" about Olympus - stylius 850 SW Digital Camera

akjane — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:43:48 GMT

MY cousin had this camera at our family reunion and I became hooked. Water-proof and SHOCK-proof? It doesn't get much better for a mom of 2 rough and tumble boys. Plus its not even that big. I can easily stick it in a pocket or my fanny pack! So I am finally documenting our families life again. I hadn't been carrying around our big camera, and it seemed like I was always relying on others to take the photos.

The quality of the pictures is great, too. It zooms in pretty close and even takes short video! That quality isn't the best, but good for when you are in a pinch and didn't bring out the video-camera.

It's easy to use and understand and our new little laptop takes the memory card, which makes it ultra convenient.

I love the color I got [pink] but there are also more subtle colors available, too.

My sister and I both got this for Christmas last year, so that tells you how much we liked it. And the underwater pictures are SOOOO cool!

jsbaker4404 says "Love it!" about Kodak - Easyshare M853

jsbaker4404 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:36:59 GMT

My Kodak EasyShare M853 is the best digital camera I have owned. If you want a decent quality digital camera without paying a fortune, this is the way to go. I've had my camera for almost two years and wouldn't think of replacing it.

I only paid $120 for this camera when it was on sale. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. It's small and compact. There are different flash settings. It has 8.2 megapixels and 3X opitcal zoom.

I frequently take nature and landscape photos and without having a large expensive digital camera with changeable lenses, this is the next best thing. My photos always come out in great quality. The only thing is it is hard to focus on tiny objects without super zooming in. Then you get a little less great photo quality when it comes time to print.

For everyday use this camera is excellent. If you are taking landscaping or family photos and want an inexpensive high quality camera, this is definitely the way to go. If you need something with a great zoom,...

northcascades says "Indestructible camera. Good zoom, too." about Panasonic - Lumix DMC-LZ7

northcascades — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:19:54 GMT

I received this camera as a Christmas present and could not be more pleased with it. I have dropped it several times in snow, water, on rocks, etc and it still works! There are chips on the casing, but it works very well still.

It can zoom up to 36x, which is the most I have ever seen out of a $125 camera. The pictures it takes are excellent. I am using it for my photography class at university and it is perfect. The camera has lots of pre-set modes for people who aren't camera-savvy (including some cool ones like candlelight, fireworks, etc that I'd not seen in a camera before). You can put it in a semi-manual mode to tweak some of the settings yourself and change the exposure, or just leave it on simple automatic mode.

This camera would be best for someone who wants a step up from a basic point-and-shoot but doesn't want to go whole hog with one of the big, hefty digital SLR cameras. It's a good compromise between automatic and manual, and the zoom and sturdy build make...

asheeolee says "The Kodak Easyshare m853 was a poor choice of camera." about Kodak - Easyshare M853

asheeolee — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:51:42 GMT

I received the black Kodak EasyShare compact digital camera a couple of years ago as a sweet sixteen birthday present. I was so excited because I had heard about it being a good quality, durable camera. Unfortunately, when I opened it and tried to turn it on, it would not do anything at all! I tried plugging it in to my mom's Kodak EasyShare dock/charging station thingy, but it did not respond to being plugged in and did not charge at all.

I took it back to the store and they replaced it, thankfully, and that one worked... for a while, anyway.

Eventually, after having used my camera for about a year without any other problems (besides the less-than-exceptional picture quality), the camera randomly stopped functioning properly. I had not dropped it or anything that would have caused it to behave so erratically, but when I tried taking a picture, everything on the screen showed up pink and striped, with blue fuzziness around the subject. I knew it had nothing to do with the screen, since...
