Customer Feedback :
The majority of the reviews were excellent. There were a few that were scary. Now i realize why. This camera is a great camera if you are willing to put the time in to learn all it has to offer and how to use it. It comes in cool, fresh colors which may be one of the reasons that people felt mislead. Although cool looking this camera is a sophisticated piece of equiptment capable of producing some great pictures for the average person, but it does require you to read certain portions of the manual or you will not be satisfied with the results.
One criticism i read related to the fact that it did not take great low light pictures. Well if you don’t adjust the camera to suit those lighting conditions then you won’t be happy. However push two buttons and get into the right mode and you will find that you can take some of the best low light pictures around.

Customer Feedback :
The camera’s on screen tutorial is a great help, and the manual is easy to understand. The screen and fonts are large enough to see clearly. Her favorite feature is the AUTO MODE, just point and shoot. I made sure to give her plenty of extra AA batteries, as it does not come with a charger. USB cables provided allow easy hook up to computer. The camera performs fairly well under low light conditions, which is a good thing.
