Best Digital Cameras - 215 to 415 Images Battery Life, 0 to 5 Megapixel Resolution, Video Cable Included Accessories

'slow shutter speed'

'This is an irritating design, and large thumbs will be prone to accidentally bumping the zoom in or out, or changing settings such as flash when using the zoom.'

'the camera supports only 10 frames per second, even for its "high-quality" VGA clips, which results in pretty jerky video.'

'extremely substandard 2.0-inch, 86,000-pixel LCD screen.'

'the images were a little on the dark side and a little soft in some areas'

'Unfortunately, this camera's motion-picture features are particularly anemic: there's no microphone for recording audio, and resolution is limited to 320x240 pixels at 10fps or 30fps'

'flash coverage wasn't great, with significant edge falloff'

'Even the best setting (640x320 at 15 frames per second) was jerky and riddled with compression artifacts.'

'Feels cheap.'

'Low light focusing was poor, due mostly to the lack of an AF-assist lamp.'

'The new LZ2 lacks manual functions and the Leica lens which dresses other Lumix models'

'Few manual settings'

'bad image writing lag outdoors'

'Unfortunately, the A520 was a little lethargic in single-frame mode when using flash.'

'the A520's recycle time is simply atrocious, averaging 9.0 seconds between shots.'

'A gentle squeeze - what users will give it when they haul it from an overstuffed bag - elicits creaks and groans.'

'Very limited battery life.'

'The manual does seem short (in length) and it doesn't talk about accessories'

'with its only average performance and handling, this product will struggle against similarly priced and specced offerings'

'It has less zoom, fewer manual controls, and poorer performance than most of the competition, making it a tough camera to recommend enthusiastically.'

'the image was somewhat dull, with a cold, cyanic cast.'

'no manual exposure modes'
