"This camera is NOT too good to be true!" on by MADDOG3200
Pros: - Small camera.
- Big screen.
- Lots of MP (my old one had 5.0MP)
- Takes FANTASTIC pictures!!
- Long battery life!
- Takes BETTER zoom than my $250 Kodak 5.0MP camera!!Cons: Only XD proprietary cards are allowed. Standard ones aren't allowed.
Summary: I got this camera on sale for $99 at COSTCO with a coupon back in May, 2009. I was amazed at how sharp the pictures were and how simple it is to use it! I was kind of worried because of the price of the camera but now I can rest easy because this camera is awesome! I would HIGHLY recommend it!

"Very Good!" on by Foxfantom
Pros: Super Compact, Lots of features, Fairly easy to use (has different options for different situations), Big LCD screen for the size, Solid Steel Casing, HUGE ZOOM FOR A SMALL CAMERA 5x Optical
Cons: You can get a very seedy picture if you turn the wrong settings on. Also if you go in video mode, the video drains your battery like crazy. You have to buy the XD card instead if the micro SD to get some of the features enabled (just costs more)
Summary: I really really like it. I use it on my college campus and have had no problems thus far. I wouldnt trade it for any other camera, it does exactly what i need it to.

"Compact, easy to use and versatile" on by aeagleaaron
Pros: I love that it is small enough to fit in your pocket. There are a lot of different functions for different situations. The screen is big and the zoom is great. Photos are crystal clear.
Cons: The only thing that I dont like about it is that the flash it located right under the button to take a picture. I kept getting my finger in the way and the flash was obstructed. Would be nice if the flash was lower or on the other side.
Summary: I love this camera. I just hate the placement of the flash. It is definately worth the price!

"Outstanding Value / Price:Benefit Ratio" on by amsa526
Pros: 1. 5x Optical zoom
2. Metallic body
3. Full Auto settings
4. Up to ISO 3200
5. Accepts both xD and SD (micro-SD adapter included)
6. Easy settings - easy enough for my kids to use
7. Quick buttons for most accessed featuresCons: 1. Wished it was weatherproof as the body had a metal case
2. Metering should have more options ... like spot, matrix etc. It only has spot and a full auto.
3. Should have full support for SD cards just like FujiSummary: I have/had a Canon 790, Olympus 230 ... before.
I wanted another Canon but I couldn't find a 5x optical zoom at the right price point. To be honest, the lag times are not that significant - in fact, this 370 is faster than my old Canon 790. The image sharpness is also insignificant as I use Picassa to sharpen/edit the photo as needed. It ultimately boiled down to a price/benefit ratio. I actually prefer the image quality of this one to Canon's 790. The full auto setting should be tested by any user ... it is not 100% full proof. Some images come out soft focused. -
"Big bang for the buck!" on by CreativeGuy4U
Pros: Great small size that fits easily in a small pocket of your cargo shorts. Slightly larger screen (2.7") than other cameras it's size and has all function of cameras costing $100 or more.
Cons: Must use XD (proprietary) cards vs standard SD cards.
Summary: I bought this camera for $99 at COSTCO with a coupon. As we say in the Buckeye, "Can't beat it with a stick."
