Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The idea of this product was very good. That's why I couldn't wait to get one for my wife. Unfortunately, the technology is just not mature at all. First, the touch screen responsiveness is wildly inconsistent. Usually, it responds immediately. However, sometimes, it takes 3 to 5 sec. You would think that you didn't touch correctly and you would try to touch again, and again. Then you would have touched the same thing twice or 3 times. And you would have to undo the 2nd or 3rd touches. Second, the battery won't last 100 shots. If you use flash or touch the screen a lot, it probably is good for 60 or 70 shots. You would need 2 or 3 batteries for your trips if you plan to take a lot of shots. Picture quality is so-so. For a 10 mega-pixel camera, I expect a lot more than my old Canon 4 mega-pixel P&S. Even though my old pictures were taken in low resolution mode (300k to 500k in size each only) and the pictures from this camera were taken at the highest quality mode (4+ M in size each), I hardly notice any difference. Needless to say, there is not even any comparison with my Olympus e-520 DSLR. For a while, I thought video taking would be ok. It responded pretty fast. Sound wasn't too bad either. However, when I downloaded and watch the video on my computer, it was truly disappointing. Worst of all, on the live view, your pictures would look even worse. So bad that I didn't even know if any of the pictures I took would be decent. I guess the good thing was they all looked a bit better on the computer than on the live view playback mode since the live view screen was just plain terrible. I should have given it a 1 star, but I gave it 2 just because of the innovative idea. But the quality of this product is just plain terrible. And it is the first Vietnam-made electronic product that I have ever seen. I think that may explain the poor quality.
