 Best Buy Ive Made In A Long Time!! |
| Review Date: February 26, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Carlos Hernandez, USA |
| I bought this to go on a cruise and man was it a great idea. I take this thing everywhere. Its so small you dont even notice it in you pocket. You can pull it out and in 5sec you are ready to shot. My friend dont like hanging out with me now because I always have the cam out reminding they how dumb they look. I take it snowboarding all the time it works great. Some people complained about the bottons being hard to push but can even do it with my gloves on. Underwater quality is cool haven't gone under 2ft yet just stay close to surface but it will stay submerged with no probs I bring it kayaking all the time and it will sit in some water at the bottom of my bag and be fine. It is very durable it come with a case thats not bulky at all works well. I take it hiking and it take great pics even while you recording,its in my bag every day. So there has to be one down side, The low light quality isn't very good but I knew that when I bought it. I use this for all kinds of outdoor event and thats what it is for. Posting video or pics are a brezzzze. Ive owned this cam for six mounths and have used it tons and its still working great. Battery life is about an hour of but if bought tow more at only $12 bucks apiece online. The 8 gb sd card give you tons of memory til you dump it on you PC. Hope this review help you out peace. |

| This is my 2nd Xacti Camera as my kids keep borrowing my other 6 mp Xacti videocam. We've used it underwater while vacationing in Hawaii; in Seattle on our Kayak trip; I've used it to take underwater shots of our kois (fish) in the backyard. What I like with this camera is it's pistol-grip design which is very suitable for underwater shots (couldn't fathom some are critical of this design). Overall, you get a pretty decent videos and 4X6 prints out of this camera. I own a Nikon D80 and a high-speed 35mm Casio (Exilim EX-F1) but I find myself relying more on my Xacti for ordinary pictorial needs. |

It is an excellent camara...
The 8M pixel still pics is great. I have lots of pics with red eyes though, but I can live with that.
The 2 M pixel video works very good for day shots..
Night video comes out pixelated but I am still extremly happy with it.. |
great camera

Vibrant Stills, Acceptable Video In Outdoor Environment

At the time I received this camera, there were few waterproof digital camcorders on the market--but things have changed radically since then. There are a lot of cameras that take both underwater (that can go much deeper) and above water stills and video on the market today. I wanted this camera to take camping, so that I would have something I could use outside, even if it was raining, at water parks, in swimming pools, rafting, and tubing. I have used the camera underwater, but I'm always wary of the fact that it can't go too deep and that even dropping it in the deep end of a swimming pool may be enough to cause it to leak. If I were to buy a waterproof camera today, I most definitely would purchase something that could go deeper. Many of the new cameras on the market in this category can also take high res. video (including newer models by Sanyo).
The video quality if OK for standard definition. My Flip Ultra actually took better standard res. video than this camera can (particularly in low light. I am am very pleased with the still images that the camera produces in well lit, outdoor environments; and it takes standard and widescreen stills. Be warned, it does not do well in low lighting situations; if you think you will using it a lot to take videos indoors or at night I don't reccomend it (the images can be very noisey). Although the camera has a flash, there is no red eye reduction, so unfortunately in most of the stills I took in low lighting conditions my subjects often look like the children of Dracula. The flash range is also rather limited, so make sure to get close to your subjects. The flash works well for backlit subjects as a fill, though, and I frequently use it for that. I have also had problems when swapping out batteries to get the camera to power on again; though I am not certain if this is just a quirk of my camera or of all the E-2s.
The bottom line is that this is serviceable camera that works well for outside photography and wet weather conditions. If you want high defintion or something that can go into deeper water, definitely shop around.
