Opinion: Il minimo per cominciare a fotografare...
Discreta qualità dell'immagine anche con poca luce fino a 400 ISO.

Problems: Pochissimi controlli manuali e qualità dei filmati molto scarsa!

Opinion: I've been using this camera for one year, and I must say that I was completaly disappointed with it. It was my first digital camera (I am used to an old film EL Nikkormat Nikon 55mm... yep, its really old, about 30 years old...love this camera) and I thought it was bad (in comparisson to some Dig Cams I used from some friends of mine).

LCD is very grainy and low resolution (though pretty fast)

Pictures are extremely noisy (in night shows, red dots appear in dark places)

Un-sharp pictures

Bad focusing

No ISO 100 (for crying out loud, at least 100)

Interpolated pixels reduced dramatically the image quality

Practically no manual controls (and its a pretty stupid camera)

Few scene modes and they are hard to access, only through the menu

Dark pictures, especially in indoor shots

It is extremely fragile and has flimsy battery door and lens protection

Huge shutter lag

Flash takes long to recharge

No sound and small movies (though I must admit that I barely use movie mode since it is a photographic camera, not a camcorder)

Humiduty destroys it (not water, I live in a very wet place)

Apparently few f-stops (destroys field-of depth)

Goodies:
Very good battery life and uses only 2 batteries

Small and light

xD picture card it fast

USB 2.0

Video Out (few cameras with this price have those)

Easy menus (the camera as a whole is very esy to use, since there arepractically no manual controls... only the sceen modes at dissapointing)

3x Optical for such a small camera is impressive

Colours are not so bad

30fps movie and fast LCD was interesting (though very low resolution)

It is pretty ok if you are going to use it for events that you don't bother having bad quality pictures and that you don't bother loosing (or breaking!!!!) the camera.

Opinion: This was my first digital camera and as a camera for beginners I think it is good value for money, combining plenty of features, some manual settings to play around with and get used to the concepts and it has pretty good image quality as well. But there is a catch as I had major problems with it.

Problems: First of all the lens cover is very flimsy and broke soon after I started using it. It got stuck inside the camera exposing the lens, I just kept it in my bag when not shooting to avoid any scratching or dirt on it.

The other major problem occurred recently after only 7 months of use. The camera has 4 settings, 1 for movie (which does not have sound), one for playback and viewing, one for auto image capture and one for image capture where you can set it to some specific settings for night time e.t.c. I don't know how it happened but now I can only take movies and view images. The other settings don't work anymore when I try them they give me only movies or again playback so I have two pairs now of these functions. So the camera is useless as a camera. It seems like the internal electronic bords has just short curcited or something. Not very good seeing how new it is so beware and don't loose your warranty!

Opinion: Love this camera. It is especially good in low light. Took a picture of my son in almost complete darkness(had to find him with flashlight) turned out awesome(turned flashlight off first). Very easy to use also.

Problems: None yet.

Opinion: I have been a digital camera user for quite awhile and upgrade with technology. This camera was a huge disappointment. I don't know if it was defective, but the photos were so dark, they were almost impossible to lighten. I tried everything, to no avail. I finally returned it. You could see that the photos were very sharp and would have been excellent if they were properly exposed. The flash did go off. I finally returned it.

Problems: Indoor photos were extremely dark and almost impossible to lighten.

Opinion: I had a box(kodak dx3700,what a joke!) with a pinhole in it compared to this camera now! I love this one!
It has great preloaded features, and does what i need!
I run an illustration business, and this camera gives me a sharp, clear pic! I like the paneramic capabilities of it, and its all at a good price! I dont mind the battery feature not being seen. Good light construction, on/off features, and options. Im gonna be happy with this one for a good while!

Problems: None really as of yet.

Opinion: My first 3.2mp camera.
And I'm quite happy with it to be honoust.
Very easy to use and has some nice presets.

Pictures I've made a very nice and no overtoleranced white balance or anything not even from 10cm or closer.

Problems: Too bad it has no battery bar in the display, so you don't know how much battery time you've got left

Opinion: After reading other reviews I have to say this is the best camera for the price. Battery life is good, I upgraded the memory to 64 which is more than enough pics.

Problems: The only problem was switching between the sports mode to the standard mode. Resulted in some blured pics.

Opinion: Fantastic camera - upgraded from Finepix 1300 - what a difference!

Problems: Pity it does not warn you when the batteries are nearly flat - the camera just dies on you.
