Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great features not so great when the camera sucks. Comment: I got this camera for 2 features, the panoramic shots, and the underwater ability. Both of which are fantastic! That's about all I have good to say about this camera. Cons: - I have a difficult time taking non-blurry photos. Even with a tripod. - The lag between the shutter button and the actual picture being taken is ridiculous. Sometimes the camera doesn't want to take the picture at all and requires 3-4 "hold the button down, wait 4-5 seconds for the camera to focus, press the button, nothing. try again" - Forget action shots. Even on the "Action" setting. - There are numerous setting on the camera, and sometimes the camera will randomly change the setting on you, mid shot, for no reason. - The battery life is about 3hours..which sucks. Also it takes 3 hours to charge. Pros: - Panoramic landscapes - Not shorting out underwater. - Super macro mode is useful sometimes. Overall, this camera is OK. It's good for taking personal pics where you don't care as much about quality. It CAN take quality shots, but you're going to have to work for it. Customer Rating: Summary: Good price...great camera Comment: You will enjoy this little camera. The viewer is hard to see in bright light at the beach for example. But this is similar to other cameras. Customer Rating: Summary: Rugged camera, good quality for the price Comment: I primarily bought this camera for outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and 4-wheeling. For outdoor, daytime photos, this camera works as expected, producing quality photos. Low light or indoor photos are another matter. They are grainy, awful photos. The different shooting modes are just silly. There's even a pet and kid mode. The battery life is decent. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Pleased Comment: We bought this to take to Jamaica for our honeymoon and loved the ability to take it in and near the water to get shots that I would never take my DSLR. I knew going in that it has limitations and its image quality does not compare with a DSLR, but it did surpass our expectations as long as you had quality light and used its features accordingly. Example: For low-light shots, set the camera on a stable surface and use the 2-sec timer to take the shot instead of handholding it. We look forward to using it next summer in our pool! Customer Rating: Summary: I just love it Comment: It is easy to use. The videos are much better quality then earlier models. I just love it. More Reviews
