1. Great camera takes beautiful landscape pictures! Not so great with lots of bright lights, but certain setting make it much better. video function is better than other camera i have had both picture and audio is clear. bargain buy, and its small enough to fit in any bag/ pocket!



2. Polaroid cameras are awful. But they are better than their service. Mine died in two days, and I have been waiting for two months for a response from customer service.
   
   Find a name brand on sale and save a great deal of aggravation



3. Wow, I got this camera for christmas after researching it for a long time. I have had a lot of good experiences with this camera, with limited problems. The only things I would change is to be able to apply zoom when you're recording a video, and to be able to take pictures in b+w, sepia, flourescent etc. Other than that the picture quality is great, the size of the screen is incredible, and the light adjustment is amazing. I am in love with this camera!!!



4. It seems to have no delay at all when snapping a shot. It is so small, I can carry it in my bra when I go hiking. It takes beautiful photos too. The only thing that took getting used to is that it too easily slips into video mode so I find that while I want to take a photo, it is taking a video. Other than that. I love it.



5. i thought this product has image stability but nah most of the picture i take is blurred and the quality of picture is no good even you adjust on the menu itself.i regret buying this product sometimes the cheapest one wont give you any satisfaction at all.

5 comments about Casio Exilim EX-S770 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver Grey).

1. i like this camera a lot. i've owned 3 other casio models (ex-m20, ex-s500, ex-s600), 1 samsung (nv10), and 1 canon (sd750) and i like this one the most. i'll admit that it's really easy to get a good shot with the samsung and the canon, so people might prefer them over the casios, but i feel like i've got a good enough understanding of the casio to get the results that i want. so in regards to picture taking, it's really up to the user how well the images come out.
   
   one reason i really enjoy this camera is the extent to which i can customize it to my liking. it really is only a few things, like a few customizable buttons and the ability to choose which settings the camera will remember. but the menu layout is very very intuitive to begin with, so the camera is very enjoyable to use apart from the customizing features. another minor (but great) feature is the adjustable flash intesity - really good for avoiding over-exposure in closer shots.
   
   i'm big on videos and this camera is awesome for that! i don't understand what other reviewers are saying when they only say that the sound is "ok." i think the sound is pretty good (i've compared it with various other manufacturers and models). the only camera that is better in sound capture quality (in my opinion) is the canon sd750. but the only setting where the sd750 outshines the ex-s770 is when you're trying to record a video of a live concert. i discovered this 'cause my gf had the sd750 before i did. this is actually what made me purchase the sd750. however, 1 week into playing with the canon, i realized that the canon saves videos in a very large file format. so this is where the ex-s770 ends up being on top again. on a blank 2BG SD card, i was only able to get 16 minutes (640x480 @ 30fps) on the sd750 (seriously, WTF?!). but with the ex-s770 (same quality settings) i was able to get a little over 2 hours and i still considered the sound quality to be quite excellent.
   
   another neat feature that shouldn't be weigh in too much in your decision - but still worth mentioning - is the data feature. it allows you to convert any type of data file and have it upload directly to your camera. i use it for train maps and schedules. again this isn't a big deal at all. if you've already got an a smartphone, you can already do that and prob even more. but still, it's there if you want to use it.
   
   ok, this is too long. but the above reasons are why i ended up choosing the casio exilim ex-s770.



2. I brought the camera as a gift for the wife (per her wishlist) so I didn't know anything about the cam when I brought it....but now that I have it for awhile I love it.
   PROS:
   -Built like a tank (ie. I accidentally drop it from about 5 feet and it landed on gravel with rocks). The camera now has a big dent on it but still works great.
   -takes decent/normal video.
   -I came from a 3.2 Mpixel camera from this so the pictures blew me away. I liked the picture quality that I now use it instead of my DSLR when I want good pictures during informal events.
   -took the exilim on a tropical beach for vacation and the pictures that came out are beautiful. Turned me into a shutterbug during that trip...I was taking 100 to 300 shots per day...LOVE it!
   CONS:
   -make sure you have the cam's cradle to charge the camera!
   -flash sucks (but same goes to other point and shoot cameras) so, just try not to use the flash or just accept washout pics at night when using flash. Not a big issue for me!



3. This is the best camera I have ever purchased. I love the huge screen on the back of the camera. When printed, the pictures come out very clear with great color. I would definitly recommend.



4. My wife and I have owned the Casio Exilim for over a year. I am writing this review now to give an impression of our normal usage and how the Exilim has performed.
   I have been extremely pleased. The big pluses are:
   
   * FAST! Camera turns on and is ready to take pictures almost instantly! - one of the criteria I looked at closely when purchasing was the "boot" time. We tested the display models at a store before purchasing. This model was the fastest by far.
   
   * SD card easy to access - I strongly recommend purchasing a large SD card and a card reader for your desktop or laptop. It makes transferring and managing your images fast and simple.
   
   * Comes with excellent dock - I have come to love a good docking station for electronic products. The Exilim comes with a dock that is well designed and works great for recharging.
   
   * Is very slim - this is truly a pocket camera. The best camera is the one you have with you. Period.
   
   * Large screen size - nearly the entire back of the camera is screen!
   
   *Takes great pictures - we have taken some pretty spectacular outdoor images. As is typical of digital cameras, indoor images are fairly grainy and not nearly as lovable. However, it performs as well or better than other small digitals I have used indoors.
   
   *Battery - we have never had problems with the battery life during normal vacations. The occasional recharge at home is all we need. The battery has also survived a year of normal use without showing signs of age. If it does become a problem, Casio has made it extremely simple to swap out batteries - it's a matter of seconds.
   
   Summary: if you're looking for a small camera that can be kept on hand and trusted for special occasions like vacations, I highly recommend the Exilim EX-S770.



5. Bought one for my wife a little more than a year ago. I liked it so much for the nice large screen to view and to take shots and also ease of use for tech savvy people like myself that I decided to buy one for myself. It took me a few hours of shopping around due to the camera being last years model but I found it at less than half of what I paid for hers and its new,never been refurbished or opened for any reason.
   Using a "large memory card" SD HC sim card meant that I could take a ridiculous amount of pictures and even take surprisingly good quality video and allot of it from such a small camera.Its thin, light and not a battery beast like digi cams of the past.

1 comments about Leica D-LUX 3 - Digital camera - 10.0 Mpix - optical zoom: 4 x - supported memory: MMC, SD, SDHC - silver.

1. Leica. The best. For professionals, a professional second backup camera. For the rest of us, this is as good as it gets. Optional picture formats, and a 2.7 inch viewing screen.

2 comments about Olympus Stylus 1030SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Wide Angle Zoom (Black) + 4GB Memory Card + Spare Battery + Accessory Kit.

1. My big cameras have their place. Pocket cameras are short on flash power and data capture in low light, but for a camera you will have no problem taking with you, this is as good as it gets. For many years, my pocket or the car arm rest contained my Sony Cybershot. With it, I've caught on camera a Florida black panther, an albino Florida deer, and lots of great family shots. When I saw the ad for the Olympus and had my three youngest grandsons coming for a week. I had to buy it. I could take it underwater, which I did immediately, with the boys in the pool. I took it camping and wading in the mountain streams, While fishing in Florida, one grandson's line went across the nose of a 4 ft alligator. I had my Olympus handy as always, so now I have a movie of the gator taking the bait, and I filmed as it went under, came up, broke the line and disappeared. The Olympus is a bit heavier than the Sony and a bit thicker, but it's many great features and ease of use make it my pick for years to come.



2. It is really as strong as they claim. I had a couple of kids throw it around and stand on it. And it still works. Also great for taking shots in the pool or in the rain.
   
   I am happy with the quality of the pictures. The extra battery is very handy to have, especially when taking many flash shots. Also, you can charge one, while using the other.
   
   Only minus point: The 4 GB memory included in the package is not fully compatible, which means that the Olympus camera refuses to activate certain functions in the menu, such as panoramic in-camera shots. The memory works great for other functions though, including video.

5 comments about Lowepro Rolling CompuTrekker Plus AW Camera Bag.

1. Really great product that was delivered on time. I didn't keep it as it was much larger than I had expected. Return with credit was very smooth.



2. Will be traveling with this product next week, so that will be the proof. So far, I like it. I needed something that could handle a fair amount of underwater camera equipment, plus a notebook and I wanted to roll it. The quality is good.



3. I wanted a bag that would hold my camera gear, particularly a long lens (300mm f/2.8), as well as my laptop. The main purpose of the bag would be for air travel. For car trips, it's easy to toss two bags in the back. And for hikes, I probably wouldn't bring my laptop. But with airlines cracking down on the number of bags per passenger, I wanted everything in one bag.
   
   I first tried the Kata R-103 GDC Rucksack, but it wasn't big enough. My Dell Inspiron is 14" x 10-1/4" x 1-1/2", and it didn't fit.
   
   I tried the next size up, the Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder. (Insertrolly optional). It's an immense bag - so large I can't imagine carrying it for long. But my laptop wouldn't fit in it, either.
   
   So I started looking at Lowepro. The Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW Camera Backpack (Black) was squarer in shape, rather than tapered on top like the Kata, so it seemed more likely that my laptop would fit. I went over to the Lowepro site to check the specs (Amazon's are often incomplete, or even incorrect), where I saw that they also made a version with wheels. Perfect!
   
   I don't know how I missed this bag before. Perhaps I overlooked it because Amazon doesn't carry it. I ordered it from Amazon seller M Z Photo and got free shipping and delivery in two days - as good as Amazon Prime. ;-)
   
   And yes, at last, my computer fits! There's a pocket in front that holds a removable laptop sleeve. While the sleeve itself is too small, the computer does fit in the pocket. I can use the padded laptop sleeve without closing it (the outer pocket zips up easily around it and provides plenty of protection), I can put the laptop in without the sleeve, or I could buy my own sleeve that does fit. (If you don't understand what I mean, there are photos on the Lowepro site that show what I mean.)
   
   The bag is well-made and well-designed. It's bigger than I expected, but it does conform to carry-on rules. At least if you don't overstuff the outside pockets. It's too large to fit under a seat, but should fit nicely in the overhead bin.
   
   As others have said, this really isn't suited to carry as a backpack, though they give you the straps to do it. The roller mechanism makes the bag heavier than a backpack needs to be, and not terribly comfortable to wear. I will probably keep the smaller Kata bag to use as a backpack and daybag. Pack it my suitcase and take it out once I get to my destination.



4. My computer (Toshiba Satellite) fits fine and the Canon 40D with EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS attached, EF 70-200 2.8 L IS and EF-S 10-22 packed with room for more.
   
   I am a Lowepro fan and purchased this bag over others based on that. It is larger than I expected but easily holds my computer and camera gear. Lowepro and other reviews say it meets carry-on size and that is what I am looking for. I'll get to test it in 2 weeks on a trip to Hawaii.
   
   There were several dealers offering this case for the same price. I went with MZ Photo as another review reported fast shipping. I ordered on 2/27/08 and got it on 3/6/08 on the west coast. Quite a bit slower than Amazon Prime 2 day delivery. Too bad this is not available directly from Amazon.com. I am pleased with the product and don't have any complaints about MZ Photo I just wish it would have gotten here faster.



5. You get what you pay for with this bag - lots of secure storage for your equipment. It is quite a LARGE bag - it will easily handle your camera body, 1-2 large lenses, and another 2-3 smaller lenses plus flash and other assorted odds and ends, plus your medium to large size laptop, and cables and even a portable hard drive. As others have said though, this is not a bag you would necessarily want to carry on your back or take out on the trail once your get to where you are going. It also appears to be right on the edge of what would be acceptable for carry-on luggage - if you weren't carrying anything else, you could probably handle it ok. For my purposes it was too large, so I sent it back, but I will tell you I was tempted to keep it because it is such a well constructed and durable bag. I went with this larger version as I have a 15.4" laptop - and it could have easily accepted a 17". I do think though that if I had a smaller laptop I could have gotten away with the smaller version of this bag and would I would have kept it as I can see where this bag is ideal for keeping all of your "tech" gear together when you travel.

5 comments about Samsung Digimax S730 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Advance Shake Reduction Optical Zoom (Black).

1. This camera is pretty good for any person. I was trying photo art with it and it's not excelent for that... but for memory photos is great.
   
   I had another like this one but with 6.5 MP, then I bought this one.. then I bouth another one like this for a friend. Now i'm saving money to buy another one, because a couple of days ago i lost this one i bought :(
   
   I think this is the best option because of the price, and because is a really good product. I love taking pictures, i love images, i love memories, i love visual art.. and this is the perfect tool.



2. I LOVE THIS CAMERA! IT HAS SO MANY COOL FEATURES SUCH AS VIDEO AND ULTRA ZOOM. IT'S SO EASY TO USE AND IT'S A VERY GOOD BRAND (SAMSUNG). I HAVE PURCHASED DIGITAL CAMERAS IN THE PAST BUT THIS IS THE BEST I'VE HAD YET! TO BE HONEST, THIS IS THE SECOND CAMERA LIKE THIS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. I LOVED IT SO MUCH, I PURCHASED A DUPLICATE, SAME COLOR, MEMORY CARD, AND ALL! BUY IT...IT'S WELL WORTH IT.



3. The camera is sleek, light and easy to carry. Zoom is decent and picture quality also good. What surprised me is that I did not expect good night-time pictures with this camera. However, the night-time pictures are great! Great buy for less than $100.



4. I bought this camera to use while hiking and otherwise away from a constant supply of batteries. If you buy this camera, you better bring huge supply of batteries with you. For instants, once in a while I would get maybe 20 or so photos before it shut down, sometimes only 3 or 4 and a couple times it would not start up with store fresh Duracells. It always seemed to shut down when I needed it the most.
   
   On the positive side the pictures look great, the camera has easy to use controls and the supplied Windows software works well. All in all I suggest you look elsewhere for a digital camera.



5. I purchased the Samsung camera about 3 months ago thinking it would be a great camera to take along on my vacation to Alaska in August. Sure am glad I bought it early! I couldn't afford to buy batteries for this camera. On several occasions, I only got 6 pictures out of one set of batteries.
   I have an older digital, took the batteries out of the Samsung (It indicated they were dead) and used them in the other camera for 20 more pictures.
   I recently bought another camera to use on my trip, anyone want to buy a Samsung S730? Cheap!!!

5 comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55S 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver).

1. This little giant is a great pocket camera with loads of power features.
   
   * Effective Image Stabilization
   * Automatic Intelligence Modes
   * Loads of Scene Settings that really work
   * Great zoom combination (optical/digital)
   * Extra Sharp Images
   * 28mm wide angle view
   * Super Compact
   * File Organization
   * Crystal clear 3.2" Screen
   
   I could go on and on with all of the great features.
   If you buy this camera and learn how to take advantage of the features, you will not be disappointed. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a small camera with great performance features.



2. Excellent small, convenient snapshot camera. All of the controls are really easy to use and in the right positions. The picture quality is outstanding and there is plenty of control over the size of the files. The only drawback that I found is that it does not have a fully manual setting for the exposure and the longest exposure setting appears to be about 1 sec. I am sure that I won't need these settings too often. Overall an excellent purchase. I would recommend it.



3. it's a excellent camera. it's easy to use and many function. but it's not easy to buy a replacement battery.



4. just a great all around camera. I dont know why anyone would buy anything other than a panasonic. Leica lens, huge lcd screen, its fantastic.



5. This camera has proven to be far better than I could have ever hoped!! I purchased this camera after my previous point-shoot style camera was damaged while sandbagging a levee in Iowa...
   
   The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55P was ordered as a hurried replacement before I left on a trip. The camera has excellent lense quality and an outstanding array of features. I really appreciated that the menus and functioning are pretty intuitive if you have experience using cameras. I've mostly worked with Canon products previously and still like that gear very much. Even though I had not used a Panasonic before, locating features was easy and intuitive. I purchased this unit instead of the Canon because the Panasonic is a smaller, flatter camera that offers all of the same features that I wanted for much less money.
   
   Simply put, I have not used a small camera which produced such high quality photos and offered such great flexibility of use. The flash is powerful and offers several settings. I've used the camera in a variety of situations ranging from concerts, over dinner, by a campfire, macro photos of bugs, and in the dead of night. All situations resulted in outstanding photos. The battery life has been very good. The wide angle is VERY useful. I just returned from 6 days of camping using the camera every day (not constantly) and never needed a charge.
   
   I simply can't think of anything else I would like in such a camera. A great purchase that I could recommend to anyone.

2 comments about Kodak EasyShare M893IS 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Purple).

1. I had been using an eight year old Kodak digital camera (DC280 2.0 megapixel) and felt it was time to upgrade!....I narrowed my choices down to the Olympus FE-340, the Canon SD1100-IS, and this one....I actually purchased the Olympus for the extra Optical Zoom that it has but was so disappointed in that camera's picture quality that I returned it and purchased this one....I would still like to see what the pictures look like on the Canon but the screen on that one is considerably smaller and I just don't care for the way the controls are situated....this camera is very easy to use, my old camera still takes sharper pictures I believe but this one produces great pictures for the most part, 99% of my usage is for online so I can't really utilize all of the megapixels, but a huge plus in my opinion is that the battery charges right off your computer's USB port as well as coming with an AC charger, and I love this particular purple color!



2. Love it! Couldn't be easier to use and produces an awesome photo! User Friendly, of course it's Kodak, and small and compact and comes in colors!!
