    Pros: Light weight

    Cons: Worst Camera for indoor snaps, hazyness, very slow shutter when not in Auto mode

    Summary: Bought this camera without doing any research. And I made the most painful mistake of my Thanksgiving vacation. Took it to Las Vegas where all photography happens indoors. All Pictures are hazy, not a single crisp photo!. Well, three photos were slightly better when I placed the camera on a surface for timed shooting. SO I believe if you buy this camera always use tripod, or else dont bother buying the camera. The camera comes with a shake prevention setting, which is again, not too well programmed with flash and shutter speed.

    The colors did nto come out bright as well. Sony or Nikon is much much better than this camera. I wish at least if not for Las Vegas, for Grand Canyon I had taken my tripod with me. All grand canyon shots (outdoor) are kinda hazy as well.

    Close-ups are slightly better.

    I am returning it with the 15% re-stocking fee to buy a Sony. or a Nikon. 28 dollars of re-stocking fee i am considering as rent for using the ****** camera for 4 days in vegas and grand canyon.

    To give a camera like this a 1 out of 10 is just silly; no one can take your review seriously when you rate this camera as about as horrible as a product can possibly be.<br>especially when the overwhelming majority of users give it a 9 out of ten. Does that give you a hint as to who is being accurate and reasonable here?

    Maybe there was just fingerprint smudge on the lens?
