Don't waste your money [Posted on 2006-11-28] This was the first digital camera that I owned and I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago and at first it was nice because I didn't know any better.
The camera is very wide. I personally like the slim cameras. The time it takes between pictures is WAY too long! Then the screen turns black if you wait too long to take the picture so you have to hit a button to turn the screen back on and that takes another 3 seconds. The zoom feature sometimes doesn't want to close. Also the batteries come out easily because they aren't very secure. I've taken very good care of this camera. I only dropped the camera one time and now I hear a noice when I shake the camera like something is lose inside. The screen now turns black and won't take any pictures.
There are better options out there.
The Gift that never was [Posted on 2007-05-17] I purchased this item as a Christmas gift and never received it. The seller claims he sent it, but the item never got to the birthday person leaving me in an embarrassing situation.
Broken Item [Posted on 2007-12-29] I order this Item , and I discovered it's broken. I contact the seller and return my money back.
For my first attempt at concert photography... not bad: [Posted on 2008-05-10] For the first camera that I've taken to shows, this little guy performed surprisingly well.
For being so bulky with lackluster zoom (thank goodness I was in the front row for all 4 concerts in a row for Flaming Lips last fall), I surprised myself with the nice quality of the shots I got.
I even took some nice ones from pretty far back @ Better than Ezra at the Wildflower Fest 07.
The time it takes for this to power up is what really got on my nerves: I actually MET the Flaming Lips twice while we followed them around in the Fall and both times I was heckled by the band (in a nice way of course -- best bunch of guys you could ever meet) due to the elderliness of my camera and how we had to stand around for so long waiting for the thing to turn on.
The key with this little one is either BRIGHT light and slow situations or shoot a BILLION pictures to assure the fact that you will get some good ones (I would get about 200 good ones out of 400 and so on).
I upgraded to the Finepix s700 6 months ago and I've already outgrown that, but for just quick point n shoot spur of the moment type things, this camera would probably do the trick.
Not great [Posted on 2008-09-08] I have had 4 of these for business and they break. The lenses usually fail over time. Inexpensive and good pictures but it won't last. Be prepared to replace it soon.
