In some light situations the focus is fair to bad, but o..." Read Full Review »

Disappointment

"I bought this camera for my wife to capture our newest grandchild. The time from pushing the button to the picture being taken is so long that we miss most good pictures. We have mostly back of head shots. The camera is too small for me to comfortably operate...." Read Full Review »

"I would recommend this camera to the average person who just wants to take good clear snapshots. The smile feature and the face frame feature are fun for a while but end up turned off most of the time. Low light situations are very grainy, I can't seem to get past that. The older version of this …"  Read Full Review »

"This camera takes great pictures. The only problems I have are, rather short battery life and too bright of a flash. If i try to take an outdoor picture or a picture in dimly lit place, the flash makes the room or even the outdoors look like it's daytime. If the flash is off though, it is too dark. …"  Read Full Review »
