Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this camera, having first read the few user reviews here on Amazon.The ultra-wide lens is nice, but like a decent webcam, the images are soft.The zoom lens of course gets crisper shots.In low light without a tripod, this camera can't perform.For indoor shots the noise and dark shots are almost a sub-par throwback to digicams a few generations prior.
As far as the SD card launching out of the camera... YES it can happen. I had a laugh as it happened the 1st time I ejected the SD card.I wouldn't go so far as to call it a design flaw, since I learned to ejected the card with my thumb over the slot, instead of just flicking it with my fingertip.It's not a deal-breaker.But I did want to vindicate the user who posted that his card flew out of the slot.It happened to me too.
After a week of using this camera in all different situations, the trade-off between having a wonderfully wide 23mm lens and the mediocrity of the camera in general prompted me to sell it.I'm opting for a less-wide, but overall better (and more expensive) Canon model with a 28mm wide (not ultra-wide) lens.There is indeed a big difference between 23mm and 28mm, but I like to take shots at parties, bars, on the street at night, and a 28mm with better low-light performance is what suits me.
I gave this point & shoot camera a full college try for it's unique 23mm lens.But in the end the softness and noise made for crummy shots.
Another point of dissatisfaction is that the LCD as a viewfinder is really fuzzy while framing the shot, making it hard to be sure if the shot I'm about to take is in focus or not.Once I take the shot, the LCD shows a much clearer image than the preview (as with all digicams).But the difference between before you press the shutter and after is too severe.When framing shots with this camera, it's always a leap of faith as to whether the shot is in focus.That is annoying.I'd rather exercise my faith in more sacred settings than every single time I'm trying to take a snapshot of my friends.
It's not a wretched camera, but it's not one that I can depend on for good shots taken on the fly.When coupled with a small tripod, it might be the ultimate utility for realtors.But I want to capture spontaneous moments in a wide variety of settings, and be pleasantly surprised by how well the shots turn out.In those situations, using this camera almost always disappoints.
