Customer Reviews

Excellent Compact Camera
I purchased this camera for a trip that I was taking in December. I shopped around and was originally favoring the Cannon A75 which has received numerous excellent reviews. What drew me to this one was a very small size, great body design, and the fact that it was 4.1 MP whereas the Cannon was only 3.2 MP. The biggest problem I had when trying to convince myself to purchase this camera was the lack of online reviews.

As previously stated in another customer's review, the body design is great. The back of the camera has a rubberlike texture which feels great when snapping shots. The menus are very easy to use, and very important to myself, the instruction manual is written in such a way that it is very easy to lean how to use all of the features on your new toy! Huge plus for me, is the battery. This camera uses a small rechargeable battery, not regular AA or AAA. This battery holds charge for a good amount of time and was a major plus for me, especially considering all of the reviews complaining about how others cameras drain batteries at a very rapid pace.

Probably the biggest reason I bought this camera is the panorama mode. Many cameras have this feature, but the way that it works on this particular camera is absolutely amazing, with each subsequent shot becoming "transparent" allowing you to line up the next shot in the panorama. They look great, I have one posted on this page.

All in all, I really like this camera. I have posted some shots that are very basic, but allow others to see what this small camera can do! The small things make this camera really cool. I took a vertical shot where I turned the camera vertically and snapped the picture. The sensor in the camera recognized this and stored the photo in the correct orientation in its memory. My friend who purchased a 3.2 MP Nikon turned to me and said, "I wish my camera did that..."

Great Camera & Easy to Use
Just got this camera a couple of days ago. I liked the camera because it was lightweight and compact. I have a 35mm Nikon and wanted a smaller camera to carry around for on the spot picture taking. Decided to go digital. The picture quality on this cameria is clear and crisp. I especially like the Adaptive Lighting feature where the camera balances the lighting across the whole picture.

It has great video capabilities with smooth streaming. The remove red eye feature is also a plus and works well.

The camera is very easy to use with an intuitive menu system. Finally, I really like the look a feel with the silver face and rubberized back. I would definitely recommend this camera. It was definitely the best buy for the quality and price.

Almost my best friend :)
I've had this camera for about a month now and I've had so much fun with it.

The first great thing about it was the price, I got it for a very reasonable price of 199 euros - my package included the leather pouch and one 128 Mb SD-card.

I've had HP products before so I knew I could expect high quality combined with easy usability. Pictures turn out very nice as I like to have the Adaptive Lighting option on all the time. I've taken some beautifully artistic black and white and sepia photos as well. The camera really is good for every day use, from quick snapshots in the park to detailed still-life pics with a tripod, for instance.

The only thing not so great is the sound quality, but if I wanted to take video clips I'd buy a proper video camera anyway.

And as the camera is small and light, I can have it with me all the time. I've had more use of it already than of my traditional SLR camera that I bought three years ago!

(If I understood correctly, one of the previous reviewers had got a virus on his/her camera. Well, one can't really blame that on the camera since the bug definitely came from somewhere else. That's just the price you pay for being careless yourself. Sorry!)
