Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Small size; excellent screen; great options to change for different shots.

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: I enjoyed the camera and would highly recommend it for anyone. It appares to be better than other cameras that I've used.It's wide screen for viewing is much better than looking through a viewfinder window. The thinness of it also is very appealing.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: lots of settings, long battery life, rechargeable battery, good image quality when on the right setting, amazing macro shots.

Weaknesses: the automatic image quality is grainy or fuzzy or both, with little clarity. the settings are hard to get right.

Overall Evaluation: I've only had this camera for a few weeks, but it's a neat little thing. It has a long battery life so I can pretty much take it anywhere, and it's perfect for random snapshots. For some reason mine records sound for 30 seconds afterwards unless you hit 'menu'... but this doesn't happen if 'continual mode' is on. I, personally, didn't think the images were that great... I did better with my kodak easyshare v530, and canon powershot SD600, which happens to be less expensive and equally stylish.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Super Compact, MPEG-4 Video, Nice Build Quality, Docking Station Included, Nice Selection Of Colors

Weaknesses: Weak Flash (Typical For Compact Camera), Slight Hesitation In Video Due To Frame Rate, Limited Manual Controls

Overall Evaluation: I purchased this camera because my Nikon DSLR is a little too large to take with me everywhere I go. I wanted something that I could easily place in my pocket with the hope that I might get pictures I would otherwise miss. Well, this camera has not disappointed. It's small enough to carry and you don't realize that you have it with you. I decided to purchase a camera case which does add to the size, but it also provides a little bit of insurance in case you drop it. Ok, enough about the size. So, how well does it work? For picture quality of a compact camera, I'd give it a solid B+. I'm a little spoiled with the performance that I get with a DSLR, so maybe it might seem better to others that do not have a camera with a better overall focusing system. What I mean is that you can take a great picture with this camera, but there is a slightly better chance of getting a picture that is a little off. This isn't a big deal for me, because I'm used to taking several pictures in a row, so I can delete all of the ones that are slightly out of focus or not exposed properly. Again, this is a compact camera, so don't expect every picture to turn out just right. What seems to balance this camera off nicely, is its ability to take decent video in a file size that won't run you out of memory. If you think that you might want to use the video option often, I do suggest getting a larger card. I bought a fast 150x 2GB card and I'm very happy. Plenty of room for video and pictures. Oh, and by the way, I purchased an extra battery, but this thing runs forever. You can probably get away with one and save a few bucks. Back to the video. This thing will not replace your camcorder, but it does do a nice job capturing video that you wouldn't otherwise have without your camcorder. It's just slightly jumpy due to the framerate. Nothing terrible, but noticeable. Just keep that in mind. If you are in the market for a compact camera, be sure to give this one a look. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Super small size - easily fits in shirt pocket.Anti-shake feature great for us amatuers.Records movie clips as well.

Weaknesses: Too many menu features/settings to choose from. OK if your a pro.User manual is on CD supplied with camera. Very inconvenient to look up things.

Overall Evaluation: I am super happy with this camera. Can take it anywhere. Super long life rechargeable battery really usefull. Docking station very convenient. Every bit as good or better than the Canon Elph and less expensive. Would prefer that they include a Secure Digital card to get you started rather than having to run out and buy one.
