Author's Review
This camera was given to me from my girlfriend. I believe the price range for it is around $100.00. For the price, this camera is great!
The camera takes incredible pictures at 6.1 mega pixels and you can adjust the mega pixel settings from a variety of sizes (0.8, 1.9, 4.0, 5.4, and 6.1 mega pixels). You can also change the flash setting depending on lighting. There is an auto mode which will detect the lighting area and decide whether to use it or not, a fill mode which will always use the flash, a red-eye reduction type flash, and no flash. There is also a macro mode for taking close up photos or photos of small objects. I love the macro mode and I have taken quite a few incredible photos with it. Landscape mode is self-explanatory. It is used for taking photos of distant scenery such as landscape. There is also a scene mode which has many pre-sets you can use such as night mode, self portrait, sport and others. Each has specific settings that differ in brightness, iso speeds (the iso can help take less blurry pictures of moving objects), and other settings. On the top of the camera there is a button that will allow you to select a self timer. With the self timer, you can set the camera down and pose with a group for easy pictures when nobody wants to get left out of the picture. You can also record video in 2 different sizes. The lower size has a faster frame rate (30 fps) and the larger size has a slower frame rate (15 fps). After taking photos or videos you can review them by pressing the review button. For the LCD screen's size, it has great resolution and color display when reviewing images. These feature are all available through easy to find buttons and on the menu which is easy to navigate.
It does have some bad things about it though. The auto focus does not work well if at all in bad lighting conditions. When recording videos at the smaller size (320 x 240 @ 30fps) the video sometimes has frames missing causing a skip in the video but does not interrupt the audio. The video also does not work well at all in low light conditions. This camera has also drained batteries pretty quickly except when I use Kodak's rechargable digital camera batteries. The internal memory is also very small so you can't keep many pictures and hardly any video unless you upgrade with a memory card (SD).
To me though, this lower priced camera is great for anyone and the good things about it all out-weigh the bad. It is a great digital camera for it's price and very easy to use.
