I just wanted to get a camera that I could use for YouTube videos and to take decent pictures. I'm not asking for much, and I'm not a videophile. But this camera failed to meet even my low expectations. The photos look faded and grainy, even in bright light, and have that odd digital look. The video, too, is grainy and faded.
And perhaps most frustrating is the very narrow field of vision. Even standing on my porch looking down I had trouble capturing people in the front yard. This may not sound like much, but trust me, it's incredibly frustrating. You know when you start to take a portrait of something and realize you're not zoomed out all the way? Imagine that the lens is broken and can't zoom out, so instead you have step back several paces. This gets very old after a short time.
There's significant shutter lag, also, and the zoom is very slow.
This camera could be so cool if only the video and pictures were better, and the lens were improved with a much wider field of vision. The flaws on this camera are few, but fatal. I can only give it one star. |
Best for the price

I have this camera from july 15th and only could say that it was the best buy in a lot of time. I'm not proffesional, only need a camera for good quality pictures and video, only for home use, and the results are more than I've expected. Easy to carry, easy to use, just a few buttoms, and of course I've bought an extra battery so during my last trip I had much more time for videos and pictures.
Nothing to say, it was the best buy for the best price. |
A super little camcorder

| I have used this camera for 9 months now and I like it more and more. I get excellent movies. I have made 8 2 hour movies from around the world. My friends and I enjoy watching them on our 50 inch flat screen TV. The result is amazing from such a tiny camera. Indoor pictures as well as outdoor pictures have the quality of professional films on the TV. My Hawaii movies showed excellent quality of the Hula dancing even taken in very poor light. It is very easy to handle. The only negative I found so far is if I zoom fast it seems to lose focus for half a second or so. This camera has so many features that it takes a while to grow into. |
This camera is a friend

Yes, iso 400 and above looks like mud, lens is not wide enough, image stabilization is bad and blur's your video, yes you can hear zoom in/out noise, camera zoom is not sensitive, menus sucks, lens cap is a poor desing.
But this camera is small, you can hide this camera in your hands and take nice movies with it and no one will notice that you are actually shooting. That way you can catch people naturally,
if people see you that you are shooting a video, they act differently and I it's not really capturing the moment.
I think this is the best camera for that and I all ways carrying with me because you never know when you are going to catch the best moment. Put it in your pocket and you all set.
There is no other camera is that small, even nice HD small canons require a camera bag.
Video quality is good, HD movies are like real HD 720p with on iso 50 and 100. if you properly set it you can take amazing videos. You need nice light sources. Your lens is pretty small that's why it can get more lights in to the sensor, you know you can't get both.
at least not right now, maybe in future.
Make sure set your shortcuts and use them, autofocus lock and iso are the best shortcuts.
I didn't recommended this camera to my brother because he don't like adjusting his camera based on the light or the environment, he likes auto mode, if you like using the auto mode and forget about anything else, don't buy this camera.
but if you know photographing and how to adjust iso, aperture, shooter speed, buy it now. You will love it.
I paid 160 and get the used one, it has scratches but works great and I love it. |
