5 comments about Olympus FE-180 6MP Digital Camera with Digital Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I researched digital cameras online for days before I decided on the OLympus Fe 180. It has all the features that I was looking for and simple to operate for a beginner. I have had no trouble understanding the manual and operating the camera. It is easy to print photos on the computer. In just a few words, love this camera and recommend it to anyone who is just a beginner as I am



2. i think this camera is excellent, especially for the amateur photographer. the quality is amazing, the super macro setting brings out the finest details in an object, and the zoom is wonderful! the battery life is a major plus. for such a low priced camera, the batteries stay fully charged for a long, long time. there's no viewfinder, but i dont mind, since the LCD screen is huge. also, the digital stabilization function is great, especially in low lighting where the focus tends to get out of hand. overall, this is a great buy! i recommend it to anyone.



3. I've had this camera for about 7 months. It has worked well. Had to get used to the view screen 'no view finder', but other than that it's been great. It also has a 'higher-quality' video setting than most still cameras, with sound, but it eats up the memory quick so buy two cards (1 or 2GB each) in case you run short while on vacation. I like the camera very much (for the price). ps: If the review looks familiar, I mistakenly attached it to the Olympus FE-190 last week. TC



4. I bought 2 Olympus cameras for Christmas, the FE-180 for my in-laws, and the red Stylus 750 (Oh so stylish). I paid twice as much for the 750, but on Christmas morning when we were trying out our new cameras, they took to a novice point and shoot user the same photos. If anything the FE-180 was easier to start using had the same shooting guides as the more expensive model, and the convience of AA batteries that are easier to find if you forget to charge the Lithium one on the 750. It doesn't have as many manual settings, but for my in-laws first digital camera, it has worked out perfect.



5. This is my second Olympus camera. I like this one because it is nice and small with a large screen on back. It is very easy to operate and takes beautiful pictures.

1. I love this camera. It is my first digital and has been a great experience. I like close-up photography and the macro on this camera is just right--I took some really sharp pictures of bees on flowers an inch or two from the bee. The camera does very well in low light without flash but also does well with flash when you need it. There are still some aspects of this camera that I haven't learned, but all in all, I am thrilled with it.

5 comments about Olympus Stylus 400 4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom.

1. This may be OK for taking snapshots of your friends or kids around a birthday cake, but it does not perform well in most situations.
   
   1) The cameras sensor is not very sensitive to light, so photographing indoors out of the flash's range is impossible (blurry images).
   
   2) The video mode has no sound AND does not allow you to zoom in at all. Even if you zoom-in all the way, as soon as you put the camera in video mode it zooms back out.
   
   3) Even if you are unconcerned with shutter speeds, apertures, and ISO levels, you should still look for a camera that has a way to have a bit of control over these things. For instance, many consumer cameras have a "sports" mode for fast moving subjects. This mode sets the shutter speed to be fast, and therefore eliminates motion blur. THIS CAMERA made blurry pictures of Moneen onstage at the Warped Tour even though they were in full sunlight. With a setting like the one described above, I could have had some great visual memories of the show.



2. I've had my Olympus Stylus 400 since Christmas of 2003 and take it everywhere I go. It's compact size allows me to stick it in my pocket if I want to. It has been a rugged little camera. I do a lot of camping and hiking and have dropped it on rocks before and it keeps on taking great pictures. I originally bought it for the fact that you could buy an optional waterproof case. I wanted that feature so I could use it while participating in water sports, it worked great in those situations too. The outdoor picture quality is exceptional for a point and shoot camera. I use another camera for serious photography but this camera takes extremely good photos for someone looking for a simple to use camera. The XD memory cards were expensive at first but they have gone up in capacity and down in price.
   
   The battery life is very good between charges. I always have at least two batteries for my cameras. I've found that the battery will last through a three day weekend with a lot of picture taking without a need for the back up battery.
   
   One very cool feature that no one here has mentioned is that this camera came with a remote control. This is great for setting the camera up on a tripod and having the ability to get in the shot without having to set the timer and run in front of the camera to get in the picture. You can take as many pictures with the remote and never have to reset the camera. I don't know of another camera that has a remote like this.
   
   Drawbacks: The first drawback I noticed was it's small size and flat shape. I know I'm getting a little contrary here but the same small size that allows you to put it in you pocket also makes this a camera that is hard to grip with your hand. I have dropped mine several times and learned early on to always use the wrist strap that comes with it. It would be nice if this camera had a little shape to it that allowed you to grip it.
   I've had some problems with the sliding on/off door that also acts as a lens guard. This can be annoying at times and you'll be getting ready to snap a shot and it will suddenly shut off because the door has slid just a little toward the off position. This can be avoided with a little pressure on the door while using the camera. I think some of the problems with the door has been due to my rough treatment of this otherwise durable camera.
   A good buy for the money.



3. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA WARNING!!!!!!!The front door that is used to turn the power on to take pictures breaks too easily--Olympus customer service will do nothing to help. If you look on the web multiple people say they have the same problem which equals a design flaw and they will not help. The $300 plus I paid is in the garbage and Olympus wants $$$$ to fix it and will do nothing to keep a customer. As far as I am concerned I am running the camera over with my car and NEVER BUYING AN OLYPUS AGAIN.



4. I bought this camera about 3.5 years ago and took thousands of pictures with it. It was my first digital camera and I loved the convenience of digital photography and the small size of this camera. We got a lot of great shots on hikes, some pretty good pictures while diving (using underwater case), and treasured family photos including our new baby. I did eventually learn how to work around some of the idiosyncrasies - for instance, pre-focusing at the halfway-down shutter detent position really helps to get clear pictures. The low light performance is marginal, and the flash is next to useless. Over the past couple of months it started to flake out - started recording pictures with bad timestamps and the sliding front panel switch became so sensitive that the camera kept turning itself off while I tried to take pictures. I took the front panel off to clean out some lint and when I put it back together it didn't work any more. (So don't do that!) I am replacing this camera with the Canon PowerShot SD900 because I really liked my friend's SD550 and my Mom's SD800.



5. I love my Olympus Stylus 400 for daylight photos, but no matter what I do, pictures taken at night (whether in nighttime mode or not) come out EXTREMELY blurry. This has been a great disappointment; however, I have no complaints about indoor flash or daylight outdoor pictures. They always come out great!

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare Z760 6.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I enjoyed this camera for about 13 months, and it was very user friendly. Two cons: It does not take very good quality pictures in low light situations and the mode dial ceased working altogether. The camera will not even turn on now. Estimated cost of replacing the mode dial is $125 which is 60% of the initial cost of the camera and more than a new purchase of a Z760 today. Because of the cost of repairs, I will not be buying another Kodak to replace my relatively new camera.



2. As a blogger, I was looking for a quality digital camera that would give me the versatility to take pictures of whatever whenever I needed to illustrate points at my blog. The Kodak Z760 Easyshare Digital Camera does the trick!
   
   I've been a BIG FAN of photography since I was a kid, but never have I enjoyed the flexibility of taking pictures like I have with this one. The old school way of picture-taking included many wasted dollars on pictures that didn't quite turn out. With this camera, if you get back picture, just delete it and try again. INSTANT GRATIFICATION!
   
   Plus, you can download the photos to your computer and clean them up easily before printing them out. In my estimation, you couldn't ask for a better camera than this one. I've had it over a year and would not even think about using another camera for family photos and memories.
   
   HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!



3. Even compared to late 2007-early 2008 compact models, this camera does really well at low ISO. The lens is very sharp and bright light photos can be readily enlarged to 13x19 and 18x24 with proper sharpening and noise-reduction technique (I use the Noiseware plug-in for CS3). Even though I have newer, more expensive cameras, I still keep a z760 in the office and one at home. It remains an excellent travel camera, particularly in bright sunlight situations.



4. I love this camera! We have had this camera for two years now and it works just as good as the day we got it. And actually we bought it refurbished at an excellent price, boy am I glad that we did. We have three kids and this camera has never let us down. This is our second Kodak digital camera and between the cameras and the software we won't buy another brand it will always be kodak. The quality of the pictures is excellent and I love ordering them online and having them shipped to my house. Such a great convenience.



5. I bought this camera for a little over 200.00 dollars.! The first days I hated It, because I didnt like the results of the pictures, but as I played around with it, I LOVED IT, now I have upgraded to an 8.MP digital camera, but still this is a great camera and I loved the beautiful picttures it took! VERY GOOD CAMERA

1. At this price level this camera should be a performer. It looks great, is well built and easy to use yet I could not get one great picture out this camera no matter how hard I tried. If you are contemplating this unit think again and buy a Canon.



2. Everyone, including Cnet, is talking about what a great deal this camera is for $400. But I can't find it anywhere for less than $600. Did the price go up recently?



3. This is the third digital camera I've owned and the picture quality is terrible. The pictures come out blotchy and blurry unless the object is standing perfectly still and there's the perfect amount of light. I love the camera, it's display and menu, and the overall handiness, but the pictures are truly disappointing.



4. Its odd to add a review for a camera now out of production, but consistently this camera rates significantly higher then its successors the T200, or T300. The later generations have higher resolution images, and improved software. But this older model delivers better pictures, and more pictures per charge. In the end isn't that what you get a camera for?
   
   Its sad, but true, that the photo journals and consumer report articles on the newer cameras consistently report them as disappointingly inferior to this older model. This explains why this old model now sells for more, sometimes twice as much, as it did when it was in production - or as the newest successor sells for now.



5. Good product from sony.
   I am surprised to see its price getting increased after I had purchased the product.

5 comments about Vivitar ViviCam 3915 - Digital camera - 5.0 Mpix - supported memory: SD.

1. This camera is so complicated to use that I have not been able to take photo's or videos since it was purchased. It drains batteries so fast one cannot even turn on the camera to take photos without replacing with new ones and even then, one keeps getting false readings of "low battery" even though I have a battery checker to make sure they are in full power. It has been more than three months since this camera was purchased and neither the store nor the company will entertain a replacement. Am I upset......you betya!



2. This is the best camera in its class! the best quality you can find for only 150$ I am very pleased with this camera. please don't listen to anything anybody else says about this camera! It rocks, period!



3. I received this camera as a gift, 12/2004, and have had it for about a year. It has proven itself to be dependable, takes great pics, and has a very good battery life. I am puzzled by the above review. It's a wonderful little camera.



4. Okay so I am not a photographer I just wanted a simple camera to take simple pics of my beautiful son & that's what I got & the color is great on the pics. As far as it being complicated I don't think so. However, it does read low battery often even if the battery is not low. Just turn it off & back on then it's fine. Even the editing software is great. Plus I only paid $85.00 for mine. Great Buy!



5. Ok, so let me start off by saying for $100 this is a great buy. but as the title suggests you do get what you pay for.
   
   PROS:
   
   5 megapixels = very good image quality
   Great Value!!
   Pretty user friendly
   easy to turn on and shoot
   
   CONS:
   
   NO OPTICAL ZOOM
   Drains batterys very quick
   with flash on it takes a very long time to prepare to shoot
   flash does not have good range
   
   i have had this camera for about a year and a half and im pretty satisfied
