I had seen this camera on display at variousestablishments, but I was finally granted a good 'feel' and method of use at TARGET in Rosemead, Ca.
I was impressed with the zoom lens, and the macro mode that gave you so much control over such a short distance.
Being a flyfisherman, thiis was tantamount.
After thinking about it overnight I retunred and bought it the next day.
I have been very disapointed since. When opening the plastic cover, the lens would stop and the camera wouild seize, and the only way to 'reset' it was to remove the batteries.
I also noted it needed EXACTLY 1.5. volt batteries to function properly; if the batteries went down to 1.4 the camera would no longer function and prompt you for new batteries.
The picture quality is excellent, and the software is a joy to use.
I decieded to take the camera to Disneyland with my family and was again disappinted with the lens being stuck again.
This time, even removing the batteries would not allow the lens to return to it's 'rest' position.
This bug must be fixed or this camera is not worth purchasing.
Very, very disapointed.
Problems:
Lens cover should not control the 'on/off' function of camera. Should only be to cover the camera after use.
