WOW, I was wrong. You would take a picture, the flash would go off, but the screen would sit in the "thinking" position. This camera is truly garbage. The Olympus Stylus was the only camera I owned that cracked its LCD - and it didn't even fall. I like the artistic modes too, although I have not had much excuse to use them at work. I also use it in dark areas (think dusk to twilight) to focus on objects 20 feet away. It survived a fall off the car hood @ 20 mph and worked. So I was excited to upgrade to this model for a recent Honduras trip.
Great camera because of its survivable attributes! It's highly recommended if it fulfills your needs.
The pictures I have taken both indoors and outdoors are clear not grainy and the HD video is awesome. This camera even has sound when previewing your vids from camera, which I love since my Kodak didn't. I highly recommend buying the extended warranty if you get this camera. This camera has many positive attributes that should make it attractive to the casual photographer or videographer (or even to serious hobbyists who might themselves unable to schlep full size gear).
I took it to a rafting trip in WV and to the beach, it works perfect! You do have plug into the computer before insert the memory card, but other than that is a great addition to your electronics! I really made points with my granddaughter on her 18th birthday. She picked it out on Amazon and is using it at the beach. I read all of the reviews and no one mentioned the horrible sound quality. It sounds like the camera was under water.
However, its good compare it to other point and shoot cameras. The 720p HD video is great to have as well. You decide if you want to pay more for fancy stuff. Good pick if you want an affordable, waterproof, backup camera. The 'manual' is stored in the camera, which was new to me, but it wasn't difficult to figure out. All in all, I like that better because it saves resources, as well as the added benefit of a 'tutorial' scenario where the user can practice different shooting modes and methods, etc.
Well - it worked fine at the beach the first day - in the surf and on the sand - the second day we took it snorkeling - in less than 2 feet of water flashed a message saying "Lost Connection" - it then gave up completely. We did everything correctly, charged and loaded the battery at home - no sand, dust or obstruction to the waterproofing.
I always use the 'lock' on the side and rinse it in fresh water after taking it in the ocean so I'm not sure how water keeps getting in the battery compartment, but it does. I sent it in the first time and they fixed it, but this time it's been exactly a year so I'm not sure what I'll do.
