"Fantastic Camera" on by f51
Pros: Massive 3 inch LCD screen. Responsive Touch Sensor. Very close-up macros. Excellent color reproduction. 3x optical zoom. 6 megapixel
Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!
Summary: Whenever I hand my camera over to someone to take a picture, I have to explain the 2-stage shutter. With this camera, I can simply hand it to them and tell them to take the shot. The touch sensor does all of the labor. With the slightest touch of their finger, it starts stage one. A little small press and presto the pic is taken.
The guy at the photo store who sold me this camera stated that Sanyo makes more digital cameras than any other manufacturer. It turns out my last two digital cameras were designed and made by Sanyo but carried names of popular camera companies. This was a surprise to me.
The 3 inch LCD screen is great. It is crystal clear in bright sunlight and definitely the largest I have seen on a camera like this. The screen takes up most of the rear portion of the camera.
At 3x, the optical zoom is sufficient for most purposes. The extremely close macro ability is one of the best I have seen.
Pictures are processed quite well in the camera and need little if zero post-processing prior to printing.
