Customer Reviews

Great Camera - unless you want prints
I've had this camera for a few years and absolutely loved it - until i decided to have prints made from a recent trip. The quality of the prints was ABYSMAL! Totally "smudgy" looking and and very "digital" - totally pixelated. They look great on the computer - but the terrible quality of the prints has me looking for a new camera...

Great Camera with Huge LCD Monitor
I spent countless hours reading about compact cameras, and chose this one as it has a HUGE LCD screen; 2.7 inches, which is just fantastic. Other than that, it is laid out very logically and super easy to use. The buttons are a bit small, but the trade-off for such a large lcd screen is well worth it. It recyles very quickly; takes good photos, and I like the cradle and rechargeable lithium battery as well. Mine is refurbished and cost under $140!!! It is light enuf to hang from your neck with a lanyard, too. I am very very pleased.

Great Camera, durable and slim
I love the size, the pictures and the functions. Also it turned out to be quiet durable. We actually dropped this camera while on vacation and it still works like new.
