Helpful consumer’s review
This camera is great if you really like to take videos as well as pictures. The picture quality is good, not great, and the double flash and preview delay is a little annoying. The zoom for pictures is unlike any point and shoot I’ve ever worked with and still gets you great quality. The battery dies after about an hour and a half of shooting video, but that is pretty typical. The HD video is a great advantage, and taking videos isn’t a daunting task thanks to the triple motion shock thing. Other digital cameras almost seemed pointless because the shaking was naturally so bad, but this is the first one where you can enjoy filming. Highly recommend getting at least a 4 GB memory card.
