Digital camera Review: 90% of camera error is user error
Summary: 5 Stars
"90% of camera error is a user error" I recently purchased this camera, and I'm quite giddy about it. Being a $50 camera, there are many limits. ISO setting is 100 & 200 that means the photo must be taken on a bright sunny day or slightly cloudy. It's a "5 Mega Pixel" camera it does have an option to shoot at 8 MP or 12 MP, but these setting are "Interpolated" software enhanced and it's not true so keep the setting at "5 MP". When shot at normal mode it's Half meter (about 1.6 feet)to infinity, so I would recommend you to stand at least 2 feet away from the subject. Macro mode setting, you need to be at least 7" away from the subject, thus it's not a true macro mode. There is 8X zoom on this camera, but since it's a waterproof camera, 8x is digital zoom which is software enhanced zoom, not same as optical zoom,so if you want a good quality image, you should not touch the zoom setting. If you are using a lot of flash but seems to take too long to recharge befoe you can shoot, well it's not really the camera's fault, it's your battery, make sure your AAA battery has a rating of at least 800mah, if you can find a higher like 1000 or 1200mah will recharge the battery faster, on my regular higher end camera I use minimum of 2650mah. Many commented that when taking photo it's too slow, if you are using a basic SD card, that is common, but you can purchase a high speed SD card, this will help the camera shoot and record images faster, this speed is same as your Hard Drive speed in your computer. Now this camera is older so it doesn't support SDHC so maximum is 2GB SD card, butit should be more than enough for a 5MP camera, you'll probably need to replace the camera battery few times before you fill it up. ((I own a club where I educate people who owns a simple camera to use it fully.) ((((((((The seller makes other seller a shame, because the shipping speed was a light speed, I received it with in 3 days of purchase, well packed and in band new, undamaged, I will be happy to purchase more items from this seller)))))))) Please note most of the people are rating low on the camera, rating is supposed to be for the seller not the camera.
