So far so good

| I just picked up one of these for $225 yesterday along with a Kodak 2Gb Type H memory card. After reading reviews I was worried about picture quality & the card write speed, but I am completely satisfied by both. I had been using a 3.0Mp Nikon camera for home and 6.0 Mp Panasonic for work. Obviously this camera takes better pics than the Nikon, and I would say the pics are comparable to the Panasonic (which is good enough for me). I also wanted something for snowboarding that could take snow, wind, and rain as well as take continuous shots of my buddies dropping cliffs or hitting jumps. Based on reviews of the XD card format I was worried about continuous shooting. My buddy has an Olympus Stylus 820 with a 2Gb M type card that takes several seconds to write photos onto the card. Luckily, for bursts and video, the claims that the H type card is 2-3 times faster are true (for my setup anyway). I am able to take an UNLIMITED amount of continuous shots. Additionally, I can capture about 30 min of standard quality video. I'm a picky consumer, and kept my receipts in case I wanted to return it. For this combo however I am fully satisfied with my purchase. I have yet to test the water/shock proof features, but according to reviews that shouldn't be a problem. |
