"Amazing!" 2009-10-05By

Just purchased this last week and let me tell you: WOW. Easy to use, right out of the box, with your standard buttons and features. The picture quality in the LCD screen is crystal clear, just like what you will see one you put them on your CPU. It has the tilt feature like an iPhone, where the picutre rotates depending on how you hold it. I took some videos of marching band with this and not only the video quality is high, but the SOUND too! I love this camera!
"Seller Great, Camera Useless" 2009-10-05By
Friends Fab FanThe camera arrived quickly and in good shape. I downloaded the software with ease. I programmed the camera to shoot items in my photo tent and hooked it up to my tripod. The pictures were horrid. I re-programmed it every which way and could never get a decent shot. Maybe only good for amateur sight-seeing photos.

This is the best digital camera for your money. It's portable, really easy to use and creates high quality pictures. I just came back from a trip and all my friends were amazed at how good the pictures looked. The camera easily fit in my pocket so I was able to easily grab it to snag all the pics I wanted!
I've had other, similar digital cameras which took longer to focus and pictures did not come out as well.
"An Amazing Camera! I am sooo impressed!" 2009-10-03By

I was very impressed with this camera. I just recently bought it and have already taken hundreds of amazing shots with it.
Before this camera I had had a Nikon Coolpix, but after it took a swim, I needed a replacement. This camera is very small, so it easily slides into my pocket and it's light, so it doesn't weigh down my wrist.
The quality of the pictures was very good. I took pictures that turned out so amazingly. The features and options for the pictures also help bring out the colors in certain landscapes.
I recommend this camera to someone who is looking for a good digital camera. It is portable and fits my needs. It can be used as a goof-around camera
(taking pictures with your friends on an outing or at a party) or a digital camera that takes the quality pics you want. (Just the other day I got some astonishing shots on the beach, using the beach and sunset modes.)
It's awesome and I will NEVER regret buying it! :)
