Customer Review: A great point and shoot even for the non-photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a photo techy. I don't do aperture and focal length and all of that jargon. I'm a mom who wants good quality memories of my family. What I was looking for in a camera:
* Works with my 4 GB Eye-Fi card (my 3 year-old one did not)
* Could fit in a shirt pocket or purse
* Good battery life
* Good quality photos in the auto settings
* Quality photos when zoomed in
* Fast recovery time between shots (kids move so fast I was always missing shots)
* Ability to zoom in and refocus when shooting video
This camera delivers all of that and more. I learned about this camera from the Eye-Fi site of compatible cameras so waited until there were some reviews of it. I was greatly encouraged that so many photo buffs bought this camera as their point and shoot option when they didn't want to lug around their SLRs. They obviously are going to be more particular than I on the photo quality and the fact that so many found the quality close to the quality of their SLRs was good enough for me.
Was a little concerned about the flash placement but turns out not to be an issue. The flash opens fine if you have to have your finger there and I have quickly learned to turn the camera on one-handed, which is easy to do because of its size. No problem with stabilizing the camera either. You can take crisp shots one-handed in normal photo taking circumstances, indoors and out.
I've had it two weeks now and the battery is about 3/4. I've only taken about 30 shots so far but at least it doesn't drain just sitting around.
I think the photo quality when zoomed is fabulous! I took one across the room and I can see the texture of the wall in it. I uploaded here a couple of shots at 14x zoom through a dirty window and they are gorgeous. One was while the wind spinner was in motion and it looks just like it was still when the photo was shot. Though I did change the setting for that one to continuous action on the Kids & Pets setting. Looks like that setting shuts off the 2 second review photo. In that mode I can take a shot again as soon as I can think of it so should be great with my kids, maybe 2 seconds between shots. I did take shots using the digital zoom (56x digital zoom) and those were blurry but that was with me holding the camera. Would probably work on a tripod.
The video works great and I love that I can zoom in and pan and it refocuses automatically. My old camera didn't do that. If you wanted to zoom, you had to stop, zoom and then restart. This one also doesn't seem to pick up the sound of my breathing in the video which my old one often did. The whole HD thing isn't something I can speak to. I want to be able to shoot video clips. I play them back on my computer not my TV. They are for me and the grandparents.
The smile detection seemed like fun and worked pretty well. Haven't tried the wink thing yet. I'm not getting any shadow like one reviewer said but honestly haven't been using the flash much. It takes great shots inside in lower light and when I have used the flash I'm finding I'm not getting that flash overexposure you often get. Photos just look properly lit. And my son, who always seems to have red eye in flash photos didn't in the photos I took of him with flash indoors at night.
I am really pleased with this camera. If you want a good point and shoot, this is an excellent choice in my opinion.
