some goods lots of bads2009-04-19
My husband and I had decided to get this camera because we needed something smaller compared to our old digital that can actually hold a floppy disk. This camera is compact and fits right into your pocket. I like that the dial on the back is very user friendly, when you move it to a new setting the description pops up on the screen. However I do not like the shutter delay, it's awful. It sets off like 3 flashes which blinds whoever you are takeing a picture of and they blink. Which is horrible for babies and kids. The red eye reduction was on and still red eyes were in several pictures. Also I just recently went to a Nickelback concert and this camera let me down horribly. I wasn't that far from the stage but still needed to zoom in all the way and no matter what setting I tried my pictures were blurry and very grainy. Out of about 80 pics probably 6 were good and thats because the performers were standing really still. I cannot tell you how many times I missed my kids perfect smiles because of the delay. I just ordered a canon and I hope that it doesn't let me down.
Good little camera2009-03-20
This camera dropped out of my pocket as I was doing a keg stand and landed in the ice on to of the keg. It stayed there over night. It still works just fine, which is pretty cool. I also take this on Urban Exploration trips where it gets super dusty and dirty and so far there have been no problems (I've had the cam for two years). There are a few features I would like, but no other point and shoot camera has those features either so you really can't hate on this one for not having them. In short it's a great camera for taking regular everyday pictures of trips, parties, etc.
Macro, concerts, art, video, it does it all!2009-02-26
This camera is amazing for its size and cost! Mine has finally died after 2 years of heavy use (and I wasn't too gentle either...I took it into mosh pits). Well, the whole camera didn't die, but the screen finally cracked. This camera has always surprised me with the quality of its shots. To see excellent examples of what this camera can do, I have posted the pictures I have taken with it on this site: http://dragonkat.deviantart.com

If you are a beginning amateur photographer, I highly recommend this camera or something like it.
Don't buy the Sony Cybershot 7.2 mega pixels camera!2009-02-13
I got this camera for Christmas 2008 and in less than one year the lens cover stopped opening when I turned on the camera. I had to manually tap the lens cover to make it open, and when I turned off the camera the lens cover will remain open so I had to again tap it to make it close.

Most of the pictures come out blurry and grainy. The photo quality is poor. I would not recommend this camera to anyone. I hardly used it and now I wonder if I used it a lot - how many more problems would I have.
This is an amazing cam!2009-02-09

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
