The Best 3-Megapixel Camera You'll Never See In Stores

by   truegenius ,  Mar 14, 2005
Pros: Great battery life; small, compact size; wonderful picture quality; ease of use.
Cons: Both nits: no sound with video recording; small font for screen menus.
The Bottom Line: Go out of your way to find this gem and you won't be sorry!
Review: What Made Me Decide To Get One I own a FujiFilm S5100 4-megapixel digital camera. It's a great camera, but its rather chunky size makes it hard to slip in a pocket for point-and-shoot convenience. I decided that with the price of ...

Optimal Image Quality and Speed

by   eiapoce ,  Aug 25, 2004
Pros: 2AA batteries - SD/MMC - low noise and sharp pictures - fast!
Cons: No microphone.
The Bottom Line: This is a very good camera with the best image quality you can expect from 3 Mpixel.
Review: I happened to buy this camera for a student association and I got this camera for a few days. I am truly happy with the quality of this product. The pictures it takes are the sharpest I've seen from a 3 Mpixel camera of ANY MAKE. Trust me, I tried ...

by   drchoo ,  Jul 22, 2004
Pros: Very handy size shape and weight. Requires only 2 AA batteries.
Cons: No sports program. Iffy battery cover. No video out to TV.
The Bottom Line: A very good camera for the wife and kids so you won't get missed out in photos on trips, as well as a standby camera.
Review: I've had it for less than a week and already I am impressed. Its small size and weight is very handy for totting around in a small belt pouch(non-proprietory)around everywhere for that Kodak moment. I like its shape, no sharp edges which cut, its grip is ...

Top Contender In Its Class

by   MythSpell ,  Feb 15, 2005
Pros: Designed for beginners and experts alike. Superb lens, macro mode, and final picture quality.
Cons: No sound in movie mode (normal for 3MP models but still disappointing) and no case.
The Bottom Line: An easy to use digital camera which works equally well for new or advanced users. Offers picture quality and features on par with the next higher class of models.
Review: So, what does almost everyone REALLY want to do when they get their new camera??? Ignore the manual and start taking pictures, right?! Well, Pentax wisely separated the camera's features into essentially two areas - basic and advanced modes. The camera ...

Cons: None yet
Review: What a great little camera this is. I have had it for about 6 months now and I am very satisfied with it. The pictures are very impressive and super sharp. I also had a HP 3.3 mp camera and put it to the test against the pentax but there is a clear ...

Excellent product

by   calal ,  Dec 30, 2004
Pros: Versatility, modern features - direct to printer, USB to computer.
Cons: Light weight and a bit of a flimsy plastic feel, but thats fine.
Review: For a first not-a-toy digital, go for it. Point and shoot if that is all you want. However, full of features including many ways to customise away from point and shoot so good for many serious applications if you want to fiddle. The set up features are ...

This Ones A Keeper

by   roarhowl ,  Mar 24, 2005
Pros: shutter speed, fast load time, decent flash brightness. Built in lens protector. Uses AA.
Cons: Rather small, Cases feels cheap.
The Bottom Line: After all the research, I can say this camera is priced below its quality range and stands up to the more expensive units easily.
Review: After Quite a considerable amount of research on digital cameras. I had narrowed my choices down to the Canon Powershot a85, the Olympus d580, Pentax Optio30, and the Kodak dx7430. Now first I wanted a camera that used regular alkaline batteries or at ...
