Good, dependable camera
I need a camera that has excellent macro functions. So I'm going to get another brand. But I've enjoyed this camera. It's easy to use. It doesn't take much space. And it is very easy to upload the photos and work with the camera.

Best Camera, Best Price, Best Choice!!! You must buy this camera!!!!
| This is a GREAT camera!! When I decided to buy a new camera, I knew that it could not be over $150.00 so when I saw this one, plus all the good reviews I just had to get it. The price is AMAZING!! You will not find a better camera for this price!! I have developed TONS of pictures and so far, I have not gotten one that I am not happy with.. They are very clear.. I would reccomend this camera to anyone who is looking for an affordable yet worthwhile camera.. So, all in all, you MUST buy this camera! |

it's not worth your time, money or frustration
| I'm surprised to see so many positive reviews for this camera. I had their older version and absolutely loved it. When that one died I decided to go with the same company despite some warnings from a friend who had bought this version. I just figured he had gotten a lemon. I guess not. This camera rarely works. Currently the lens won't even open... it just makes a weird sound and won't do anything. It has never worked properly for me. Half the time the shutter won't open. Often the camera refuses to do anything rather than just *look* at the pictures... it won't let me take any. More often than not the camera won't be recognized by any computers (I work in a computer lab and try it on several different ones) even though I've bought replacement connector cords. The pictures are usually blurry and I have to take them several times even though I steady the camera on tables, etc. Don't even think about taking photos inside with this camera. Everything is dark. What you see in the screen (as well as the peep-hole thing that I always use) is not what you will see in the pictures. You have to think about whether to zoom in more or less in order to get what shot you want. The picture quality is alright if it's just for home use, but, especially when compared to the previous version, is horrific for any sort of specialization. I tried to take some pictures of jewelry I had made but not only could I not get a shot that was not blurry or dark but the colors were all off. I've found that every single photo I want to keep from this camera I have to take into Photoshop to fix the brightness and the colors. I have to take a lot of photographs of various materials, so you can imagine how annoying that is to have to take each and every one into another program to fix. The salesman who sold this to me was trying to press another camera. At the time I thought he was just trying to sell me a more expensive camera, but now I wish I would have taken his advice. What's the use of having a camera if most the time you can't use it and when you actually can it gives you a terrible product? My friend has all the same problems and we're both incredibly unhappy with this camera. They had me as a lifelong Fujifilm camera buyer before but no longer. I'll never buy one again. I hate this camera. Today I had to take three pictures but it won't open. It's a terrible product and I wouldn't suggest it to anybody. |
