 Perfect little camera for budding interest in photography October 7, 2008
I bought this camera for my nine-year-old son about four months ago. He had been playing with my Pentax K10D under careful supervision and had taken some rather striking pictures, so I decided to see if he had any further interest of his own. I didn't want to buy too much camera but at the same time I didn't want to get him a toy that would hamper his ability to take the shots he wanted to take.
I was looking for a camera that had great overall build quality, a usable optical viewfinder, took SD cards (I had a bunch due to my own camera), opened up pretty wide to catch low-light photos, had a reasonable zoom so he could take a variety of shots, was small enough for his hands, light enough for him to carry all day, and enough controls to keep his appetite for the technical side of things sated. This camera was the only one to hit the mark on all specifications.
As an aside, I'm likely going to buy him the Opteka wide angle and telephoto adapter lenses. The zoom on this camera is decent, but he's straining against the limit.
great little camera October 7, 2008
I am really enjoying my camera....have gotten some great pictures of the grandkids...as well of some local birds. It is easy to use...and I love that I can get attachments as time goes by.
 Nice Camera October 7, 2008
I was very pleased with the Amazon service and when I received my camera was also pleased with the camera.
Great Camera for Everyday Use October 6, 2008
I use this camera just about everyday, mainly to take pictures of my kids and send to my husband in Iraq and my family out of state. I'll admit that I'm not tech-savvy, so I was hesitant about picking my first digital camera, online no less, and learning how to use it by myself. The owner's manual was very easy to understand. The camera comes with a 32MB memory card, so I went out and got a 2G one instead (about 500 pictures). Since I'm photographing my kids 99% of the time, I always leave the camera on "kids & pets" setting, so I can't comment of the other settings (there are several). The pictures turn out clear, even in low lighting. I can download the pictures easily, edit them as needed and send them to family. For the price I paid, this is a great camera. If needed I would buy this camera again.
Just what I wanted October 6, 2008
This camera is just what I was looking for and more. Quick service. No problems what so ever.
