Decided to upgrade to a new digital camera since my original is one of the first marketed. Wanted a light weight and easily operating camera and not really concerned about vewfinder - the screen is good. Value for the $ - excellent. Canon - excellent and reliable. I have several canon products. Has every thing one needs as an amature photog. Quality of picture is close to excellent. The switch to Li-Po battery good play. Very satisfied with the media it supports. I am a MAC user!

It is a really good camera for taking shots like those. I mean it isnt a professional camera so dont expect professional pictures but it takes very clear and amazing pictures. You have to buy your own SD card though:)

If you have 2 choices, then you must go and try both cameras and try to choose by what you feel. I have the Canon, its my 3rd G series (had the 9 and 11, among 6 or 7 other cameras) and overall its an amazing camera, really. Very VERY quick, with is something that can really make a differnece when hunting for that special pic. Nothing to envy in luminosity to the best reflex out there, it takes pictures with low light that are incredible for the size and price of this machine. And my favourite! the slow motion video recorder, great adition and lots of fun there. The wifi? never used it, yet!

its def. worth the price, i was a bit skeptical in the beginning because all cameras i owned before were from nikon. i bought this one as a gift to my mom(simply because of the good reviews), and she took a lots of great quality pics and videos during our family vacation. quite easy to operate. ps i have an old, similar quality Nikon, and this camera takes way better pictures and have an amazing zoom for such small camera.

I think there are much better cameras for the money, unless waterproof is really important to you. And at this point, if I had it to do over, I'd buy the new inexpensive go-pro model instead. I find the photos to be meh at best. And the video performance is only okay. The underwater is good, but only so useful.

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.

Yes it is a good camera. It is light weight, quick to focus, can take lots of micro 4/3 lenses, and the price was right. Is it the best camera? Probably not because there are a lot of terrific cameras out there including several updated variations on this model. If you're thinking about dipping your toe into micro 4/3 photography then there is probably no better camera for getting started. Do your research first to see if this might be something you want because there is no substitute for a well thought out purchase.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

Sounds like a great suggestion, thanks. Do you use a 8G will this camera? Would I be correct in assuming you'd get about 1700 pics at fairly standard settings?

The F19826 is fantastic I'm really pleased with it AS A CAMERA. However, it has developed a fault and Foscam are taking forever to deal with it and I've had very little communication from them. As a baby monitor....the sound quality is awful! So probably not.

I'll be honest, I don't recommend this camera. You could find a canon for similar price, better quality. This camera is outdated.

I recommend the Canon A720IS !!!!! My pet pictures are breathtaking (IMO) and I'll put a couple up to prove it! (If I can figure out how)

I have the camera for 2 days and I am pleased with it. It has many options and is somewhat complicated to use. I would go on the forums on dprerview.com before you pick a camera

Excellent camera. If you're willing to spend a little more money, the Nikon D5200 is a better deal. Again, the D3200 is great! I bought it because the package deal that I got for the D3200 was a good deal, otherwise I would've gone with the D5200. The D3200 has been rated as one of the greatest starter cameras for the money by several people. I hope this help.

It was a OK camera, however the E500 is a better one. I upgraded my to E510 the semi-professional and still have it and have not changed it for the purposes. However, if you want a beginners SLR then get the E300.
