Decent camera for the price

Bought this for my teenager to use on vacation. It works well and photos are good but not as good as the Elph (sp?) I bought a few years ago. However, I'm a big fan of Canon cameras and would not buy any other brand.  Easy to use software and good quality photos.

Bought this for a trip to the Caribbean, when I knew I wouldn't have my smartphone on for pictures. I wanted a waterproof camera since I'd be at the beach. This is a decent camera for the budget-conscious, since a lot of waterproof cameras are $200 and up.

Pros:
Budget friendly
Waterproof
Takes clear pictures
Sturdy

Cons:
Can be impossible to see the screen when trying to take a picture in the daylight
Seems sensitive to heat (from being in a pocket, for ex) and the screen starts to show weird colors, blocking the image preview.
Flash takes a while to warm up

Good camera for the price. I feel the only drawback, it doesn't take AA
rechargable batteries. It is a separate battery pack. Other than that, a
good deal.

i have had it for quite a while good camera for the price.

Overall, its a pretty good camera. It's a little bigger than expected, but still pretty compact. I do occasionally have problems with the camera recording video but not sound. The biggest problem is that the underwater housing doesn't have a button to take photos (just video).

I have a few of these cameras and while they are not perfect, they do the job as a reasonable price. Make sure and grab a memory card if you wish to have automatic recordings. I do wish they had their cloud service enabled for recordings.

Nice camera for the price, I've purchased a few at this price range for various projects, this would rate in the upper end.

It's really lightweight. Angle of view seems a bit distorted but not horrible. Goldish housing is one of the biggest drawbacks. It's not gold enough to match gold emblem packages but to gold to match anything else.

Good camera, but the whole D-Link camera/recorder/internet interface is buggy at times, and the camera does occasionally lose connection with the WiFi router inexplicably.  The customer support (which is hit or miss for some issues) was good at explaining what could be done to mitigate these connectivity issues, but some recommendations are more practical than others.  Overall, for the price it's an OK camera.  Not great, just OK.

First of all, if you are looking for a full-fledged SLR this camera is not for you. You most likely will never find one for the price of this camera. That being said- for the price this camera is a good camera. It is also a good bridge to an SLR type. Think of it as SLR training wheels. There are several features of this camera that I liked and very few that I didn't.

The pros: there are a lot of things this camera is capable of and it is packed with options and functionality. There are MANY different modes this camera can shoot in. It also has a view finder and function. For those of you who like to visually line up the photo this is a nice bonus.  Another thing that I liked was the HDR option although it is good, it is not great, The 16mp is standard for most newer cameras and there is nothing too special about it- it does take pictures that look 16mp. The 15x zoom is nice even though half of it is digital. The camera feels good in the hands and has some heft to it. (Some might not like this, but I feel sentimental about the older cameras, this camera is very reminiscent of those).  Another thing that some people might not like but does not bother me is that the camera uses 4 AA batteries. If you are the kind of person that prefers lithium Ion this camera is not for you.  I like being able to pick up batteries where ever I am at any gas station.

The Cons: The cameras stabilization could be better. Although it works it could use some improvement.  The lens cap could have been made better, it does not to stay on as well as it should.  The Gui on the camera could use some work, although there is a whole lot of options on this camera some of them are hard to find.  The images are clear in doors but they could be slightly better. (images outdoors seem to turn out very nice)

The bottom line: For the price paid, this camera was worth it. It is a good camera, and a great stepping stone to a SLR camera. For about $109.00 there are few cameras that do better. I will give a couple of heads ups: It is slightly larger and will require a larger carrying case. The upper limit on the card size is 16 gb (so don't by a 32 gb for this camera).  DO NOT GET ONE OF THESE FROM WALMART. They do carry this camera, but if you are not paying attention you will get the "DIET" version of this camera for about 128.00$, it will be a 14 mp camera with half the options and half the durability. In the end I would say I like this camera just as much as the cannon point and click I have and the Samsung I have (both cost a lot more and do not have the quality of picture)

I have been looking for a camera for the last few months for a upcoming trip, and managed to find this one for cheap. Most 8MP cameras usually go for about $100+ bucks, so paying nearly half that was a steal.

The camera itself is very lightweight and small, about the size of a credit card and about the same size as a man's wallet. I'm not a expert photographer, so my main goal for this camera was to get decent pictures and video for a low price.

The camera itself does a decent job of taking pictures with decent amount of sunlight, although it does start to have issues when going into darker areas. The good thing is there are multiple modes to reduce blur and take pictures in different climates (Snow, Beach, etc). The interface is easy to use, and does not require much thought on the user. You can also adjust the picture quality so you can take more pictures, although any mode below 6MP looks pretty bad.

Storage is very limited on the camera, so you can only take a few shots before the internal memory is full (about 10MB, which is barely enough for 10 8MP shots, and 40 1MP shots). SD cards are a must, with the 1GB SD card being able to store about 870 8MP shots.

The video quality is decent for a camera this cheap. You can either do 320 x 240 mode with 30FPS or 640 x 480 with 15FPS. Either way, the video is usually pretty decent and is at least youtube quality. On a 1GB SD card, you can store about 20 minutes in 640 x 480 mode, and 30 minutes  in 320 x 240 mode. If you are looking to do a lot of video, a 8GB card might be recommended.

The downside of the camera is the build quality. The mode wheel at the top feels a bit cheap and hard to move, and the SD and battery card cover makes me feel like it will break at any moment. The USB type it uses is exclusive to Kodak cameras, so buying used might be a problem if you do not get the cable. The battery is a rechargable one, but it does not support any other battery types so you cannot just put new ones in on the fly.

Overall, the camera was very decent for the $56 I paid for it used. You can download the PDF and drivers from Kodak's site if you are buying used, but make sure you at least get the USB cable or charger.

The camera and lens are expected from Canon. The extra lens are ok also and the extras are reasonable for the price, though not the highest in quality I've seen before, they are still use able. For the price of this package it's not bad. I have not had any problems with the core of the products and accessories so far in my early testing. Its a good, decent package for the price point so I would recommend for a hobbyist, with a limited budget.

I bought this camera to keep in my purse for al those times that I'd wished I'd had a camera with me. For that, it's been pretty good.
I thought I gave it three stars, but see that two are there and I am unable to change that.

The cons:
--It doesn't perform terribly well in low-light, but neither did I expect it to.
--It has problems focusing, seemingly for no reason, and so the results I've gotten have been somewhat inconsistent as far as blurriness goes.
--There are no manual overrides, outside of controlling the flash, but sub-compact cameras were not designed for that.
--It has a rechargeable battery, which is consistent with cameras of this size, so you always have to make sure you are charged up if you need the camera for a big event.
--There can be some inexplicable color artifacts in some of the photos,even when there is plenty of light.
--It's not the speediest camera.
--It doesn't upload all of the photos into iPhoto (skips quite a bit of them), nor does it indicate which of the uploaded items are movies. I haven't figured out why but, because of this, you have to be careful and make sure all of the photos have been captures before deleting them from the camera. It could be that Olympus is just not as Mac-friendly as my Canons have been.

The pros:
--There are some nice, usable scene modes, which are helpful.
--It has an anti-shake feature.
--The movie mode is fairly decent, although there is no ability to zoom.
--It is teeny,tiny and very lightweight, and can go anywhere.
--The photos are generally pretty good for most uses, sometimes surprisingly so (which is unfortunately not consistent).

This camera is very easy to use as far as downloading pictures to your computer and editing them. This camera works well if you need to get a quick shot for an online ad on say ebay or to get a picture to a friend.  The quality of the photos are just acceptable.  I find that the camera's controls are too small and difficult to use in the alloted time before the power shuts off(The camera shuts down after a short period to conserve battery power) Photos taken in low light come out poor. This camera makes a good webcam that doubles as a portable digital camera. The camera defaults to mid range of pixels but I prefer to use the highest resolution and therfore have to readjust it for every photo; most annoying!  The camera seems to use up the 2-AA batteries very quickly and if you can't download on a regular basis it would not be a good choice to take on vacation as you lose the photos if you lose power; bring pleny of spare batteries.

The camera is not bad. Image quality is alright. Software has some issues (specially in other products like the doorbell). Tech support is not very reliable (live chat doesn't reply, feedback either)

It is a decent camera for the price.  It comes with only some set up documentation.  Many of the settings are not defined.  You are supposed to set certain values with no idea what they actually do.

As a rule, I generally buy and use cameras with a little bit more functionality, like the Nikon P7000 or D3100. However, the DSC-W610, the lowest-end of Sony's current crop of digital cameras, certainly fits the bill for a cheap, pocketable camera that will get the job done, as long as you don't expect too much from it.

The camera comes with a battery, a charger, a USB cable, and a wrist strap. The USB cable is not your standard Mini-USB or Micro-USB cable, so if you don't plan on using an SD card reader, make sure not to lose that cable! Speaking of SD cards, this camera doesn't come with one, so make sure you pick one up. (The camera works with SD, SD-HC, and SD-XC cards as well as Memory Stick Pro Duo cards, so pretty much anything you throw at it will do.) Although the camera looks like it has a brushed aluminum front, this affect is applied with a textured sticker, and in fact the whole camera is rather thin plastic. It doesn't feel incredibly fragile, but also doesn't give me much hope that it would survive a moderate fall.

The image quality is better than most if not all cell phone cameras, just as you'd expect from a standalone point and shoot. The sensor is moderately sensitive, shooting okay if noisy shots in low-light scenerios. The flash does its job, covering all of the image area (except just the corners when the lens is at its widest). However, don't expect pro-quality photos here, detail resolution when zoomed in all the way is poor, looking muddy and indistinct.

The most unique option on this camera, and the reason we ended up choosing this camera, is Sony's sweep panorama mode. Click the shutter release, then slowly pan the camera right. The camera will make sure you held the camera straight enough (using an internal accelerometer, I'm sure) and automatically stitch the pictures together. It produces surprisingly good panoramas with very little work.

The biggest differentiator between this camera and its slightly more expensive brother, the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sony-Cyber-shot-DSC-W620/dp/B006K555BI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620</a>, is the movie mode. The 610 shoots at a paltry 640x480, while the 620 (and higher models) shoot at 720p HD. Keep this in mind when opting to save a few bucks.

All in all, this camera is great for people who just want a cheap camera to keep in their pocket and not fuss about too many settings. If you demand excellent image quality, high-res video, or toughness in your camera, then you may want to pass on this one.

This is a good camera for the price (sub 80) , with some issues.

Positive points

Nice photos.
Big screen for previewing.
Easy to figure out, my 10 year old quickly learned to navigate the menus.
Easy to download photos and video into XP,  just plug in the included cable (one of the tiny usb cables)
Excellent red eye reduction, better than my Canon.
Uses 2 AA batteries,  a big bonus since they are available everywhere.  We use rechargable Eneloop brand, they work well in digital cameras and hold their charge when stored.

Negative points

No viewfinder, which makes it tough to see what you are taking in bright sunlight.

No audio playback for video on the camera.  It does record the sound, but to hear it you have to download the video.

A little slow between photos,  perhaps 5 seconds after a photo before it is ready to take another.  We are using a Kingston 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card, perhaps if you bought a faster card this might improve.
