| I bought this camera new from J&R in New York and it lasted less than a year (or about 3, 2-week trips). I paid $89.99 plus tax and when I went to have it repaired I was quoted $80.00 and told by a third-party repair service that the problem with the lens was very common with this camera and brand. The picture quality and other features are no better or worse than you might expect but there is no durability. It breaks down at the one-year mark (end of warranty). In short, it is a piece of Chinese-made JUNK. |

I bought this camera because at the time, I liked the specs on it & it was a reasonable price. But I guess this camera goes to show you that you get what you pay for! This camera is a notch below okay. It isn't something I'd recommend to anyone, not even my worst enemy. You can put brand new batteries in it & you have about 5, 10 minutes before they're dead & you have to replace them. It doesn't even go easy on rechargeable batteries, no matter what brand. This camera is also not good for events like concerts or anywhere you think you'll be taking a lot of pictures (believe me, I've learned from personal experience). It was annoying taking a couple of pictures, then immediately turning it off to save battery life so I could take a couple more pictures, only to turn it back off to continue saving battery life so I can have enough to take pictures of the other bands that were playing. If you're trying to record a video, forget it, brand new batteries or not. If you have a 15 minute video you're wanting to record, you better cut that sucker down to 5 minutes because that's about how long it will take before your batteries are dead.
My advice is - don't waste your money on this camera! Spare an extra few dollars for a better one that comes with its own battery that you can charge & will last you a good 13 - 15 hrs! The battery life was my main peeve about this camera. |

| I got this camera last year it worked great for awhile. I have to agree with most of the customers the battery life stopped working. I turned the camera on last week it beeped three times and when off that was it. I replaced the battery but it still beeping and shut off. I have a new camera now but another brand. |

| If you have a problem with short battery life AND assuming you are using High Output NiMH Rechargeable Batteries (if not go get a set first) then follow these steps 1) Camera ON 2)Press "Menu OK" 3)Go to "Setup 2" 4) Scroll down to "Battery Type" 5)Change this to "NiMH" 6)Press "Menu OK" to save. Assuming good battery quality and full charge you should now be able to take A LOT more pictures. Many thanks to my mom whose camera was taking only 5-15 pics on a charge. CHEERS! |
