"WOW it takes pictures fast" on by danielhild
Pros: Small, takes fast pictures, LCD, speaker
Cons: Picture quality ok,
Summary: I love this camera. Though the picture quality isn't as good as my Olympus C-765, it is still pretty good. The large LCD has vivid and accurate representation of the photo, and impresses everyone who sees it. A feature that I especially like is the speaker that allows you to listen to your video and sound clips layered over your photos. The menu interface is also very easy to use. Hope this helps your decision.

"Impressive camera for under $300" on
Pros: 2.5" that is unriveled, yet... First thing people notice about it. Good pictures Good shooting speed Good 2sec. start-up time Really good flash range An all-around good point-and-shoot camera.
Cons: Pictures could have more color detail like the Sony DSC-T1 and sharper edges. Quick editing in photoshop using unsharp mask filter does an excellent job. Flash a bit too powerful for close-up shots. Red-eye reduction doesn't do much for close shots. No

"A handy big-screen pocket camera" on
Pros: Wonderful screen, most functions are easy to use, image resolution meets expectations for a modern five megapixel camera, battery life is outstanding
Cons: Poor focus performance in low light conditions because of missing AF assist light, overexposes easily when using flash, some menu functions are illogically placed

"Good point-and-shoot" on by mlindle
Pros: Quick start-up and time between shots, Cool blue light when using timer, decent quality photos, nice huge screen, nice flash, good price
Cons: Crappy videos (grainy), white balance lacking, image finder seems blurry until you take the picture,
Summary: My buddy had had one of these for about a year, then dropped it. He sent it back to Epson for repairs and I bought a Casio S600. Sweet little camera (at 6 MP it takes about the same quality pics as the Epson L500). It's movie quality is much better than the Epson though. Anyway, just the other week I had the Casio in my pocket (since it is so small) and took it out to get a shot of my cat being crazy. The screen was just black... It was still under warranty so I shipped it off. I needed something in between getting it back so I checked out the Epson L500 since my buddy had it and liked it so much. I ended up getting a refurbished one (since they no longer make these) from Epson for about $120. It is surprisingly a GREAT camera for only $120! I am impressed and might buy another just in case...
