  • Super images for a 5.1 MPXL camera

    Took one of these on vacation to Amsterdam and London. Actually took clearer brilliant colored images than our traveling companion who had a 12 MegaPixel camera. Perfect for printing 4x6 hardcopies when set to 3:2 aspect ratio. No need to crop or edit, unless you want to. Picked up a used one on here for under $20 as a replacement. Works perfectly! The main thing you will need to know about this camera is the batteries. My old one will not work with standard AA sized alkaline batteries. Found out after I bought the replacement camera that the original came with rechargable AA batteries with 2000mA rating. Most throw away batteries don't pump out enough charge to even keep the lens open before shutting down. Bought a pair of AA rechargeables for electronics that are 2500mA. Brought my old camera back to life. So be sure to get the right amperage batteries for best results. As for the camera card, I have an 8gb memory stick pro duo with an adapter. Can take over 3000 4x6 photos! Sweet! As for video, my old camera still has this problem and the new one to some extent. Yes, you can record video, but I opted to use my ipod for this reason only. I can't keep the video in focus when recording! I point at an indoor stationary object and the focus goes in and out constantly every second or two. Pure nonsense. The new one does this as well. I have no manual to see if I'm at fault, but I don't think so if it does it on both. So shy away from recording video as it will not be HD quality. More like 1.2 Megapixels. There's even a setting to make videos email friendly at some ridiculously small resolution. Granted this camera is 10 years old. No one should be using this for video, ever. Lastly, if you need higher quality photos for printing 8x10 or larger. This is not the camera for you. If you love 4x6, it's perfect. You may even squeak by with minor graininess in a 5x7. But again, it's made for 4x6 or smaller printing. Photos look superb on web pages as well.
