Review on πŸ“· Enhanced Canon SD30 5MP Digital Elph Camera with 2.4x Optical Zoom in Striking Vivacious Violet by Jason Mitts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal camera - not good if you travel a lot

Pros first: Large size and very good screen. The picture quality is fantastic and the menus and options are intuitive and easy to set up. The camera also looks great and can be taken anywhere. The included docking station is very convenient for charging and transferring photos to a computer. The camera also looks very good. Now for the cons: The biggest problem, the battery! The battery life is a joke! The camera seems to be draining the battery even when it's turned off. If you remove the camera from the charger and leave it off for about 3 days, the battery will be dead. That's ridiculous! If you remove the battery, it lasts much longer, so I wonder why the camera drains the battery even when it's off. There's also no battery indicator, which combined with the short battery life, forces you to take your charger with you everywhere, which is really bad if you take a lot of short trips where you wouldn't normally need to take a charger with you. All in all a good camera with some glaring usability flaws.
