Better than I expected

Bought as a backup camera. This means I can take my camera with me anywhere, mainly for cloud photography when I can't carry my Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP 12x zoom with image stabilisation. I chose this camera because it has some features that I didn't have. found in other cheaper point and shoot cameras. In manual mode, it has an infinite focus mode that I haven't seen anywhere else. This is great for photos of clouds as my other camera was almost never able to focus on it, but this…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Awesome little camera for $89

This is an awesome little camera. I bought it for my wife about two months ago to replace an earlier Sony generation.

  • Free for educational purposes

Two years of love, then we had a canon death.

We bought this camera for our shop rather than use our prettier camera for quick real estate photos. The camera takes great pictures and videos. We haven't tested the video yet. The camera handles dark situations relatively well, with mediocre pixelation, but I'm still impressed. I've never figured out how to easily delete bulk photos from the camera on my Macintosh. Cameras seem to be removed one by one. I think I could toss and reset when the camera on my desktop is uploading photos. Still…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
