 Awesome little camera!Aug 17, 2004
By Photo Mom
I am by no means a camera expert. I am a mother of two kids that wanted a quality camera to catch all the "photo" moments. That meant it needed to be small and lightweight enough to carry around, start quickly so not to miss the shot, and above all, give me a clear picture.
This camera has done all of that plus! This is my third digital camera and by far the best. The pictures are exceptionally clear, complete photo quality! The buit in red eye reduction is a wonderful feature as I like to print directly from the camera to a personal photo printer. My husband was amazed at the quality of the pictures from this camera.
I won't get into all of the features of the camera as most people do not use them, but there are plenty. It's very easy to change settings on the camera as you become more familiar with it and may want to use specific settings.
The camera has a very sturdy feel to it in hand, and has proven pretty durable since I carry it everywhere in my purse and it takes the beating my bag does.
If I had to say anything negative it would be that you have to remove the battery for charging. This is not necessarily a negative, just not what I am used to doing.
Again, I am no expert, just a mom with some great photos of the kids!

wonderfulOct 14, 2004
By scott baxter
The camera has a very nice size -- fits equally well in my shirt pocket and in my hand -- and weight. The built in red eye reduction for portrait photography works well.
Don't bother with the picture project software; picasa picasa dot com (for windows) or iPhoto (for Mac) are transcendally better.
After an hour with the manual you will love this camera.

very compact and good qualityJun 26, 2004
It is barely larger than a credit card and about 1.5 inch thick. It is a metal case but it is very light weight. Picture quality is good and the shutter response time is reasonable in normal light condition. The product description here is incorrect about the movie mode. It can record movie with audio. The quality is good but it is in QuickTime format. That means you cannot play it with Microsoft media player. It is a little inconvenient. But the quicktime file (.mov) is a lot smaller than the microsoft video clip format (.avi). A file of 30 second clip with medium quality is only about 9M. The software comes with the camera is not very useful. The file transfer using this software is slow. I usually pull out the SD card and copy the file to the computer using a card reader.

Excellent party/trip cameraNov 21, 2004
By Greg Wallace
I have used a professional quality 35mm camera for the last 20 years. Was in no hurry to buy a digital camera. Either the quality was not good enough or it required a mortgage. My equipment was fine for making art quality pictures, but too cumbersome for parties and trips. This camera is the size of a credit card and still feels good in your hand. You don't worry about dropping it. The print quality is excellent. Easy to use. I highly recommend it. Would suggest buying the extra battery and camera case. There is very little warning when your battery is low. Looked at the Cannon cameras and found them too bulky for my shirt pocket and not easy to use. The zoom control on Canon's cameras is terrible.

Easy to use, slight on pic qualityOct 11, 2004
By J. Piotrowski
Don't get me wrong. I love this camera. It is compact, easy to use and looks really cool. The menus are VERY intuitive. I didn't even have to open up the manuel to figure out all the functions. This is good for when other people use my camera b/c I don't have to explain everything to them. I can also operate the camera w/ one hand. I stis comfortable in my hand adn pocket too. All the auto options are nice, however you can't change alot of stuff manually, so if you are really into do-it yourself photos this isn't for you. If you want to the camera to do most of yoru thinking, the Nikon rocks. I haven't been super thrilled w/ the quality of the photos but then again I haven't been trying that hard to get good pics. The software that comes w/ the camera is really good though and the auto redlight removal built into the camera works great.
Best function: continous mode (you can take 16 frames in a row w/ no reload time) great for action shots like football or track.
Worst part: has a harder time focusing when the flash is turned off.
I like it, but at $50 more than the Canon Elph S410 it's up to you if the ease of use is worth it.
