Zoom Button Memory Card Cover

the wife and I bought this camera thinking it was a great deal, well it is, I really have no complaints with the performance of the camera itself. It does have some mechanical issues as the zoom button quite working, and the memory card cover keeps falling off of it. Other than those issues it has preformed fairly well considering what was paid for it. I'm currently sending it back rma repair for the device to have those issues repaired. I'll update this once I see how promptly they service my needs there since I paid 30 dollars for the 3 year warranty.

Nice Pictures Eats Batteries Power on problem

Love the pictures and features, but this camera frequently refuses to power on. take out the batteries and reinsert then it might work. Macro pictures not too hot but nature and outdoor pics are very nice.

Loved my camera when it worked.

Well I have to admit, that I loved my camera, for it's price, functionality, ease of handling & all the perks. 2 things 1 no instructions came with it of course, so I had to play with it which meant running the chance of changing settings not knowing how to change to back completely and my shutter got stuck and refused to open. This happened shortly after I received the camera, but I ended up going into the hospital for a while and forgot all about the camera until I went to use it again. Took it to get fixed and they were going to charge me more than what I paid for it. So take it for it's worth. I loved it in the beginning but in the end it FLAT LINED.

what do you expect for 60 bucks

i bought this camera for a trip to costa rica which i am on right now. so far this has been a reliable camera for general picture taking. its easy to use, doesnt take too long to start up when you turn it on, and has a fairly good picture quality. it however has a bunch of presets that i have no idea what the difference is between them all, and there is no user manual included. it only has 3x optical zoom which is barely anything, so this isnt a great camera for shooting pictures of small things that are far away, like a bird up in a tree for example. but it does take good quality pictures provided that you can get a decent shot in, and for 60 bucks what do you expect really? when i want a real camera ill drop 600 on an canon slr, for now this'll have to suffice and its better than using disposable film cameras. so, in a nutshell, i would say that i am satisfied with my purchase but not overly thrilled.

what a deal

i am very pleased. has lots of features and is ready to go. it works so much better than my last camera. i highly reccomend this camera.
