What Am I Paying For? - Cheap Digital Camera Critique
Panorama was difficult to make work right. It is only a mediocre camera. Also the pictures always seemed to turn out blurry; I'd have to take several pictures of the same frame to get a good one. I tried every setting and always ended up with the same result.
I wanted a camera to take in snorkeling and also one that I was not worried about getting wet if caught out in a rain shower. I have a Canon DSLR, but did not want to spend hundreds more for an underwater housing. The video is also great, 720p image quality, and great sound too. The only con is that the panoramic mode under if used as automatic is not very good. When we visited a water park, on one of the slides, it flew out of my pocket. There is so much packed into this point and shoot camera that you've got to sit down for about a half an hour to an hour and learn how to use it. It's not rocket science but there are some things you need to learn how to use.
You can't tell the difference in speed of the photos being taken. Slow, very slow. It took acceptable photos in the pool and on a couple of snorkeling excursions. I've since used it on hiking trips when rain is expected and getting near waterfalls. Most pictures were outside. Inside quality is average, but that is why I have my Canon Rebel XTI.
There are three underwater settings. Close up, landscape, and action. So far I like it but as I read before in the reviews the zoom is definitely choppy which I am disappointed in. I took it kayaking and it took some beautiful pictures.
All in all it's a great little camera for the price. And don't let the other guy scare you off from this camera.
This will help me take good pictures were my Rebel can't be taken (rain forest, underwater) I recently ordered this camera for my wife. We have used it 5 or 6 times now and we are really beginning to love how easy it works, as well as the features. I'm guessing it allows the camera to charge more quickly. So my advice is to get a small case that allows you to ALWAYS have that cable with you.
This camera has got to be the most unintuitive point and shoot I've ever seen or used. I don't even care about the image quality, even if it were outstanding, the interface and poor design would steer me away.
