Now got SX1 far better than this one. Used it for a year dropped it and flash is not working now otherwise camera is working. Can tell a big difference.
Pictures do come out clear. Only problem is that the view finder is blurred so not sure what the problem is. The service was excellent. Received the camera faster than I thought I would. Gonna have it checked out.
But I solved this problem by using the Sport/Action Mode. I am very satisfy with it. The picture quality is excellent. You have to wait a few seconds before you can shoot another one. This is an outstanding camera. It is so easy to use. The only thing that is not so good about it is that the shutter is a little slow.
I can manually adjust ISO and other features so that my photos come out right for every room and occassion.There is some noise, but generally, it doesn't bother me. That makes it soo easy to take self portraits and photos with friends. Because of this I never use the view finder, it's just too distracting. This makes photographing food a complete breeze.One of my favorite features of this camera is the flip around view screen.
I feel like anyone could take a great photo with this camera. Overall, I really enjoy this camera. doesn't mean I have to like it though. I wanted something between an SLR and a small point and shoot so that I could easily take photos for my blogs that were high quality without having to lug around slr equipment.This camera is great. While the automatic settings are nice, the manual settings are wonderful. It's amazing for getting even the smallest details in high definition. No more holding your arm out and trying to snap a photo of yourself with a few friends and getting a picture of the side of someone's head.Some thing that annoy me are that the view-finder is also a digital screen.
I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. This camera is great. I don't plan on blowing anything up to poster size or anything.I do mostly macro photography of food and I must say I am in love with the macro and especially the super macro. Also, the lens cap pops off every time you look at it the wrong way, which, I understand the concept of.
Anyway, I love my camera. It's quick to start up. I have had none. This camera was perfect for my skill level when I bought it and it has helped me grow as a photographer in the last year. My next camera will be a (Canon) DSLR but there's no way I could have skipped this model and went straight there.
I've been incredibly happy with the super-macro setting quality. I very, very rarely have to wait on it -- only when I realize after a shot that I should have used the flash, then I'm impatient to retake it. A lot. Yeah, the lens cap sucks. I mean, if you're so much as WALKING hard it will fall off, but it's hardly a deal breaker. I shoot mostly in the AV mode and I like to play around in the manual mode. I'm not sure why the price jump.
I would call myself an "amateur enthusiast" as far as my photography knowledge. I wish it had a wider aperture range but that's only because I may be outgrowing it a little. I couldn't be happier with this camera.If you're a hobby photographer who isn't quite ready for a DSLR then this is the camera for you. It's a minor annoyance that I'll take with the rest of the package. First of all, I have to admit that I'm a little confused because I purchased this (exact) camera from Amazon a year ago for $300 LESS. I haven't had any technical difficulties with it (and i mean, literally, NONE). The LCD screen is terrific in my opinion and I like that you can pretty much angle this camera any way you want without having to shoot blind.Before I bought it I read all the reviews so I knew about the lens cap issue and I was expecting random troubles.
