"Amazing daytime pics, not so much at night." on December 26, 2008 by Aiyaness

Pros: -Small and easy enough to use.
-Takes amazing pictures during the day, whether indoor or outdoor.
-Has a metering button, where you can determine light intake.
-Gives you the ability to choose image size.

Cons: -Night time images have a yellow hue to them.
-In the dark images can be slightly grainy.
-Sometimes they're blurred for no reason :s.

Summary: My dad got me this camera as a birthday present after years of using an old canon 5 mxpls one.
It was exactly what I wanted. Takes artistic photos but is still easy enough to use, even for a 6 year old. I took pictures of trees in the fall outside, of my can indoors and it worked perfectly.
Come nighttime though, I noticed that -even in a well lit room- without the usage of flash, images had a yellow hue to them. I reread the manual but it didn't mention anything.
Also.
In the dark. Or Dark-ish even. Images were slightly grainy. Even without zooming. That took me by surprise.
What I really loved about the camera was the light intake button. Really gives you a chance to experiment and get creative.
