Good, but another battery eater.

 

Good, but another battery eater.

When will they either make stronger batteries or cameras that don't suck up the power like an aardwark on ants. Otherwise a pretty nice, though not so special, camera.

MUCH better than given credit for!

 

This is a very solid camera for the price. I have taken some pretty excellent pictures, including some that I have blown up to 16 X 20. This camera gives more manual freedom than nearly any other in its class, it takes good pictures in the auto mode as...

I like mine, just fine...

 

Acquisition I bought this camera on sale at Circuit City for $149. It was normally $169, and the sale included a free 1GB SD card worth around $39 (on sale) in December 2006. I acquired 2 additional 2GB SD cards for about $39 each on sale at ...

Pocketable, easily operated, good photos, unlimited movies with sound, uses SD-card, NiMH rechargable AA's

Slow USB, slow cycle time, weak PC software, can't save exposure modes, 2GB max SDcard

Product Specifications

The Digimax S700 is a high resolution digital camera equipped with a true-color filtered 7.2 megapixel CCD and a 15x total zoom (3x optical, 5x digital), allowing you to produce high-quality, detailed photos for printing up to poster size. The Digimax S700's large 2.5" LCD has improved contrast and color reproduction for easy imaging framing and reviewing. The Digimax S700 supports ISO 1000, making it one of the most light-sensitive models in its class. So you can use faster shutter speeds - great for moving subjects and you can be sure to capture crisp images in low-light conditions. In Auto mode the Digimax S700 automatically adjusts the shooting distance and focus from between 5cm to infinity, helping you to get great close-up shots more easily. For more detailed macro pictures the additional Macro mode allows you to take shots of subjects as close as 2cm. The Digimax S700 has some great special effect functions - including Color Effect, Highlight, Photo Frame and Composite Shot - that give you unique, and sometimes amusing, shooting experiences beyond conventional picture-taking. You can access each of these special effects with just one touch of the "E" button. The family-friendly mode dial - with Night, Portrait and Children modes - makes it easier to get great shots of the family by giving instant access to the appropriate mode for each situation. Children mode, with its open aperture and fast shutter speeds, lets you "freeze" children and other subjects in fast-moving action shots. Night mode automatically uses the slow synchronization function to help you get clearer and brighter pictures at night. The Portrait mode delivers more realistic, flattering people shots with improved red-eye reduction. The easy-to-use manual features of the Digimax S1000 put you in control of the shutter speed and aperture so you can get that perfect shot. The Digimax S700's print button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the S700 to any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the illuminated print button and print! You can also use this button to transfer your images directly to a computer.
