Review 2 of 70

Price Paid: $320.00

Summary:

Photoshop is a must have so you can fine tune the pictures, specially the ones taken at night/indoor which are always dark.

Strengths:

Small size that you can carry it everywhere.

Weaknesses:

Little battery charge duration, weak flash produces low quality indoor shots. Battery takes too long to charge and an extra battery is expensive. Also the AC adapter is very expensive (1 extra battery + 1 AC adapter = 50% the price of a new S100)

Similar Products Used:

HP, Kodak

Customer Service:

not used

Price Paid: $500.00 from Best Buy - when it f

Summary:

This camera is an excellent camera for it''s size!! I have used this camera snowboarding, hiking, fishing, going to see live music, etc, etc. for the past few years. With it''s size the camera has no limits. One downfall is battery life. Although, there is an easy fix, buy another. With this camera, an extra battery, 128mb flash card, computer, and Photoshop 6.0 you are ready to start archiving the world!

Strengths:

Size and features..for a digital

Weaknesses:

Problem: Battery life Resolution: buy 2 from Malaysia, via internet, sent to you for $43

Summary:

This is an exceptional camera for many reasons. Because of its size, I carry it with me all the time and have shot photos that I would have missed otherwise. I have taken over 3200 shots in a year and a half. It is very easy to use. Infact, I have given it to my nieces ages 7 & 9 and have been very happy with the results.

Strengths:

Size, compact and light Ease to use Metal Case Strong rechargeable batteries.

Weaknesses:

Opening and closing of the lens.
