Review: Unimpressed - I have had this camera for about 6 months now, and I really do not like it. First, there is no viewfinder, only a digital display. This is a problem because in bright sunlight, the display is not bright enough to see what you are taking a picture of. When I first used the camera, all of the photos where on the dark side. To overcome this problem you have to adjust the exposure settings from the default. The menus to do this are not easy to navigate. Finally, I have had a lot of problems downloading photos from the camera to my computer. My computer says the disk is blank, although I can view the photos on the camera display. On the good side, the camera small enough to easily fit in you pocket and is inexpensive . I guess you get what you pay for.
Review: Locked up after a few months. Lens wouldnt retract ... - Locked up after a few months. Lens wouldnt retract during shut down and thereafter remained locked out. No way to unlock and internet indicated common fault and only costly professional assistance might help. In desperation DYI youtube followed, but didnt respond where it indicated it would. Gave up and so it lies here.
