Author's Review
I've had this camera as my second camera for about 6 months now and I've made it my first choice camera!
It does have some great features- the "easy" shooting mode is my preferred for regular shots because the smart camera adjusts evrything for me.
We go to the beach 3-4 times a week so I LOVE the "beach" mode too! It really catches the true color of the water, sunset, etc!
The pictures are so clear and crisp you would think they were taken with a much larger, expensive camera!
The camera is "trusty" too, I've dropped it twice, gotten splashes of water at the ocean, water park and a mineral spring on it and it has not missed a beat. The only thing was the water from the mineral spring chipped some of the silver "paint" around the lens off but that is from the mineral content because all the faucets and such rust at the springs from the mineral water as well.
Overall i would definitely recommend the camera, the battery only takes a few hours to get a full charge and it lasts for what seems like a week of intense shooting. I love that the charger has a plug that folds flat and it is about the same size as the camera because i can throw it in my purse and take it with me. I did it at my daughter's dance recital because I knew the battery was low, I plugged it into an outlet for about 5-10 minutes and it charged enough for me to take over 20 pictures.
You can also buy a power inverter at places like Walgreens and it allows you to plug the charger into your outlet in your car and charge (GREAT for road trips!)
I bought my camera at Target for $125.00 because I had searched several Wal Mart stores and couldn't find one. I really like the image stabilization feature, it comes in hadny catching shots at the beach and it was great at my daughter's dance recital. OH, and so was the high sensitivity night mode! They said no flash photography so all the parents were upset- not me! I took awesome shots that came out as if there was a flash! when I showed the other moms they couldn't believe how awesome the pictures were, one mom kept asking if i was sure i didn't use a flash!
Finally - I love the HD feature. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I wish I could post some of the pictures I've taken with this camera! It truly is a great find!
One last thought- one surprising find with this camera was how quickly the pictures process so I can take 10 shots in a row in rapid succession, my other camera processes slower and I would miss good shots- not with this one!
