Customer Reviews

Quality camera but bad customer support
I got this camera for Christmas and loved everything about it...got some quality macro shots and fits in your pocket nicely so good to take everywhere.

Sadly after 6 months the dial wouldn't stick on video mode and amazon said they couldn't replace as they had none in stock (although it showed stock online just at twice the price) and couldn't repair it.

I now regret not taking it elsewhere to get it fixed as it is a great camera apart from that 1 issue...I'm now trying to find it for a reasonable price elsewhere.

GREAT CAMERA. BE WARY RE UNIDENTIFIED IMAGES WHEN SD CARD NEARLY FULL.
I have used this camera to take about 800 pictures and 20 short movies in the past year. Portable but not too small for my big hands. Easy to use. Picture quality excellent on photos, not so good on video (but useful, fun, and easy to use when I'm only able to take camera in my back pack when I've kids things to carry as well). The only trouble I had was when a Hama high speed SD Card 4g was close to capacity and I started to lose some of the images I had taken when I reviewed them again due to unidentified image errors (which I note another reviewer has referred to). Since then I have switched to 2g SD cards from scandisk and these have so far proved reliable.

very very good camera
everything about this camera is very high quality from the metal casing to the screen. the pictures come out amazing almost everytime. pionting and shooting is as easy as a camera can be. the image stablizer works brilliantly. macro is great. and there are so many ways to customize your settings you can achieve very professional results. i really cant over emphasize that this is the camera to get. forget the fact you can get more mega pixels than this. you wont need better quality than this produces. and the ease of operation and speed of everything just adds to the overall feel of quality. everything seems to happen instantainiously. you press on and its there in less than a second. literaly. switch to review mode. under a second. no messing. the no battery indicator is only slightly annoying as the battery lasts ages. you'll easily get 200 pics with flash.
