"Fantastic camera for a fantastic price" 2010-07-12
By P. Suarez (Florida)
I'm not a professional photographer, so if you're looking for detailed specs, don't look here.
I just received my camera yesterday. I haven't played with it for many hours, but find that the time I spent playing with it I learned a lot. I'm just starting to learn more about cameras. I had a small Sony Cybershot 7.2 MP before I bought this one (I still have it) and have had it for over 5 years. It has been wonderful but I needed a major upgrade.
So far, the macro is good, the super macro is FANTASTIC, the 26x zoom is also fantastic, and the clarity is phenomenal!
Someone wrote a review somewhere saying that you can't take the date stamp off: let me elaborate. The date stamp can be placed on the photo (if you wish), but just in case you don't like it there, make sure you copy the photo first, then put the date stamp on it because once you place the date stamp you won't be able to remove it.
One thing I read many times over is that when you are shooting a video, the auto focus is noisy and so is the zoom: this is true. It can be quite noisy. This is the one drawback that I have noticed so far.
I knew what I was getting myself into before I bought this camera because I read tons of reviews and saw videos on youtube on the zoom and other attributes.
I will most likely write a review in a few weeks when I have had more time to find its pros and cons, but I just wanted to write a fresh review for others out there looking to buy this camera.
