The autoflash is cantankerous

 

Sometimes its flash works in low light, sometimes it doesn't--which means I'm taking a lot of indoors shots at 1/5 or 1/2 of a second. That's unacceptable, regardless of how great the rest of the camera may be.About me... semi-pro photographer, Photo...

Great resolution at a great price

The flash only works sometimes in low light

Awesome for underwater and land shots

 

I got this camera for my birthday and it works really well. I just tested it in water and it works great for the price! The reviews made me nervous to test in water, but all turned out well and I think it's great.

Poor picture quality & not waterproof

 

Based on the reviews I read before making the purchase, the camera would produce acceptable quality pictures for my 9 year-old daughter, who the camera was solely purchased for. The only reason we purchased this camera was for it to be used in a...
