This camera has definitely been a disappointment. Below are a few of the problems that we have experienced.
There were 2 pluses for us however.
So, in general, if you can avoid this camera, do so. If you receive it as a gift, just smile and thank the giver.
We picked it up at our local Manor store where they refuse to let you try anything in advance, it is all by recommendation only. That was obviously a mistake.
Pictures are often out of focus Indoor lightning is not detected causing poorly colored photos the USB connection is USB 1 so it is horribly slow transferring images or video instructions for "High ISO" setting say the pictures may come out grainy... yes they do, unusable battery indicator only appears when the battery is about to fail... very useful. Otherwise it is hidden you cannot use date stamping and the anti-shake feature at the same time the anti-shake feature does not work on most of the photos low quality view finder (the image are very grainy)
There were 2 pluses for us however.
it does accept AA batteries the video that it does is okay (well okay if you are used to 8mm film quality but that is fine for our home movies)
So, in general, if you can avoid this camera, do so. If you receive it as a gift, just smile and thank the giver.
