Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Images could have been sharper, Menu systems could have been better, Average 720p HD video and MJPEG codec, Awkward flash position
  • Photos seem a bit soft, no manual control for focus, price
  • Antiquated user interface. Less zoom than some same-size competitors. HD video capture is 24fps, not 30fps. Proprietary USB port
  • JPEG-like artefacts in images taken at full resolution, Noise at highest ISO settings makes them almost unusable, Poor Auto White Balance performance
  • The icons on the display screen disappear quickly
  • The battery life on this digital camera is poor
  • Overly aggressive pixel smoothing
  • Flash position is awkward; limited aperture control; occasional inconsistent white balance
