Hey there - smile

by Leah D. Ash from on 2010-09-07
My daughter bought this camera a few months ago. I so enjoyed using it that I bought one for myself. Can take some great sports shots if the lighting is pretty good. Easy to operate. Many different settings - haven't been able to try them all out yet. Not too big but substantial enough that I don't feel like my hands get in the way when I'm taking pictures. I'm going to have fun with this camera in Paris!

Great camera

I have just bought Nikon L 110. It is a great camera.Especially in a macro mode. I like it and recomend it to everyone.

Coolpix L110 Excellant Camera

by Devin D. Edwards from NY on 2010-09-06
This camera is the best camera I have ever had. I have had 35MM camera's in the past but nothing compares with digital. With a 4 gig card I can take over 600 pix and that is at the highest quality setting. The anti vibration/movement feature works great, and the menu is easy to use. All pictures are sharp and at a perfect exposure. I am very happy with this camera. I have not tried the video feature yet.

Great artistic camera

by Trax from on 2010-09-05
I am not a camera expert so I don't know a whole lot of the mechanics or lens. I needed a camera that was able to provide me with great quality photos for textures or reference for modeling and zbrushing. I was bothered by the comments about the photo quality of this camera, but you know what this camera has out done itself. Pictures come out perfectly even from FARRRRRRRR distances. I took my camera out to take some texture shots and reference shots and I was able to take a picture of the space needle from gas works park and it looks great. I was also able to take two photos of planes flying over the water and get pretty good detail. There was this old building I needed to take pictures of for reference/textures and the camera was amazing in taking pictures up close of the walls from a far distance...and I never used a stand. Just great stuff.

Blurry images and annoying features

by Cheilon Mitchell from Chillicothe, Ohio United States on 2010-09-01
I'm not a professional photographer, but as far as amateur point and click family photography goes, I've owned several digital cameras and have shot many family photos in all sorts of conditions and would also consider myself pretty tech savy. Of all the cameras I've ever used, the Nikon L110 is the most dissapointing. When I took the camera outside and shot still photos of birds and flowers, they came out beautifully. However, when trying to shoot pictures of my one year old in my house, images were consistenly coming out blurry and nothing I did fully remedied the problem. Some of the people who have given this camera positive reviews have suggested that perhaps those getting blurry images did not have it in auto mode, were not adjusting the white balance, etc. All I can say is that I tried all those things and more, went through the manual and read about all the features but could not find any setting that completely remedied the problem.The bottom line is when your toddler is doing something cute, you do not have time to scroll through menus adjusting various functions. To me, auto mode suggests that the camera automatically finds the best setting and takes the picture. The worst part is that, there is another setting called "easy auto" that is supposed to do just that, but when I tried it the results were even worse. Sitting five feet away from my son in his high chair eating peas, with all the lights on, and the images were so blurry as to be unusable.A few other features were also annoying enough to mention: the lens cap is a seperate piece that you have to manually place on the lens rather than it automatically being covered when you turn the camera off. Ditto with the flash, you have to manually pop it out for flash pictures. And although some people might prefer this, I think its worth mentioning that it takes AA batteries rather than having a rechargeable unit (which is what I prefer- saves money and rechargeables have a longer life).

Phenomenal point and shoot

by K. Strode from AZ on 2010-09-08
I spent a lot of time researching cameras before making this purchase. I have many friends who are independent photographers who swear by their digital SLRs, but I needed a camera that was more compact to be my primary travel camera - meant primarily to capture memories and events. However, I did love the quality of the SLR photos and hoped to find a camera that could approximate that.This camera is absolutely phenomenal and consistently surprises me with the photos it takes. In situations such as high speed or low light this point and shoot out performs the Canon I previously had by a long shot. For more controlled settings, the images are crisp, and well focused. The color it can capture is rich and more true to life than any other point and shoot I've ever used or seen - sunsets on this camera actually show up with the rich oranges, pinks and purples. The video also works quite well - I went to a concert and was able to zoom all the way to the stage which was quite a ways away and get a really decent video of the performance - even with the strange lighting and noticeable distance.There are a few button layouts that aren't immediately intuitive, but can be figured out with a bit of tinkering and experimenting. The special scene settings, again, work WAY better than any I've used in the past. The general intelligent auto setting is actually quite intelligent - from macro to portrait to landscape it usually identifies the scene correctly, and within a couple attempts I've been able to get the exact shot I was trying for.I had been certain I would purchase a Nikon or a Canon, but I was impressed by the photos others shared, taken by this camera and can pleasantly report that it requires no skill or special knowledge to take similar photos.I love this camera and look forward

Great Camera with a Few Minor Faults

by Forrest J. Thiessen from Mountain View, CA USA on 2010-09-07
I wanted a small point-and-shoot camera with a better-than-typical lens, and the DMC-ZS7 is it--it performs very well and takes great pictures, the larger lens giving it a real advantage over similar cameras I've tried. The GPS is cool, too (although it sucks power like you wouldn't believe).I'd give it 5 stars, except for one very annoying (to me) problem, which I haven't seen covered in other reviews here: incredibly, Panasonic chose to put a non-standard USB jack on the camera. You can only connect it to a computer if you use a special, Panasonic-only cable. I this age when just about every type of consumer electronic device has a regular, mini-, or micro-USB jack, this camera doesn't. They provide a proprietary cable that fits the jack along with the camera... but if you want to connect the camera to a computer to download photos while traveling, say, you have to pack the special cable along with you. And if you loose it, you'll have to order a replacement from Panasonic--no interoperability for you! Oh, and you can't recharge the camera battery through their non-standard USB connector, either.The crazy USB jack isn't a huge issue--my MacBook has a compatible memory card slot in the side, so it's easy to work around it by just moving the memory card back and forth between the camera and my computer when I want to move photos off the camera--but it's the only thing wrong with an otherwise great camera, and it makes no sense to me from a design perspective: it probably cost Panasonic more to use a non-standard jack than a standard one, so why do it, especially on a top-of-the-line camera? Despite this annoyance, I still fully recommend the DMC-ZS7.

A good choice for a multi-purpose camera

by Bob Allen from WV on 2010-09-07
Pros: Although the wide range of settable options may make the operation of this camera appear complicated, the intelligent automatic setting works very well, making manual settings unnecessary in most circumstances. With automatic "point and shoot" mode, it usually takes fantastic, sharp shots. The zoom range is great, and it takes good videos, with zoom. The screen is large and bright, except in sunlight. Cons: I guess no camera can be perfect or be all things. This one's main shortcoming is its lack of a viewfinder, which makes it a multi-purpose, not an all-purpose, camera. I made the mistake of taking mine to an air show. Even with the screen brightness on high, I could see absolutely nothing in it in the bright sun. It took excellent pictures if I happened to aim it in the right direction, but forget taking video of moving objects. I erased a lot of pictures of nothing. A few other weaknesses: Buttons are very small. There is no manual focus. It rarely happens that the camera doesn't focus better than can be done manually, but it can happen. The camera is heavy for its size. I wonder if plastic is really all that bad. It certainly would be lighter. It does have a good grip/feel, though. The wide angle does produce some "fish eye" effect, especially noticeable in panning video or with buildings in the picture. Unfortunately, there is no indication of "normal," and if you change the zoom, it returns to wide angle if you turn it off and back on. There is only a brief printed manual; the main manual is on the disk in PDF format. It would be a book if printed (177 pages). As with most all compact cameras, the flash is not powerful, but you could always use a slave flash. Except for 5-second clips with pictures, it will not record sound without video, nor can you add sound to pictures after taking them. Overall, the cons are minor annoyances I can live with to get the beautiful pictures and movies it takes. It certainly has more capabilities than I will ever use. I may find a few other picky things as I use it, but I would for sure recommend this camera to my friends.

PHENOMENAL HD QUALITY VIDEO;COOL FILTERS;63.8x ZOOM!!(YES-THAT'S RIGHT)

by C. Caldwell from OrangeCounty, NY USA on 2010-09-05
I just bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS7 4 days ago, and I've been nothing but pleased and amazed with it. I had read the reviews and watched multiple videos, and was frankly sold on getting the Fujifilm FinePix HS10, with it's 30X optical zoom and 1080p HD recording. I hadn't considered anything else. But I clicked on a banner ad for the DMC ZS7, liked what I saw, and researched further. I ultimately chose it over the FujiFilm HS10, and don't regret it. Let's start with the DMC ZS7 zoom....it says right on the camera when you open the box "16X Intelligent Zoom". That's a combined 12X optical with a 4X digital. The 30X optical zoom was what drew me initially to the FujiFilm HS10. But guess what I discovered about the Lumix DMC ZS7?? Something that many reviews, both professional and amateur, seemed to have missed?? The DMC ZS7 is capable of an astounding 63.8X extended zoom!!! I discovered it in the vast array of submenus that are present on the camera. The firmware is lightning fast, and navigating menus is quick and effortless, and the 4-directional keypad works well and feels solid under your fingers as you use it. The camera is part plastic, part metal, and is heavy for a point and shoot, and I like that "not cheap" feeling. But about the zoom. It's 12X optical plus 4X digital...so it says on the camera itself...and so many others have said...but after going through the array of submenus in the setup options, I found where you can turn on and extened digital zoom, an EXTRA 51.8X!!! No lie. Of course, it's grainy at best, and pixelized, but pics come out surprisingly well, and video, at the max range, are not as diluted as one might think. For best quality, stick with 16X--that's covered by Panasonic's proprietary "Intelligent Resolution", which keeps things hella-sharp. After that, yes, the pic and video quality degrade. But still, the max 63.8X zoom is bearable, and is helpful in situations where you just have to get up close. More expensive bridge megazoom cameras also get blurry and have focus issues as you max out the zoom. I know, I have an Olympus SP 570UZ bridge camera that does that. I can deal with it on a pocketable point and shoot! I just uploaded a wealth of videos on YouTube displaying the zoom capabilities of the DMC ZS7; I don't have the link as I'm writing this. I'm going to try and upload some videos right here after I finish this review, and maybe find that link to the YouTube vids I posted. DO GET A FAST, SANDISK, CLASS 10 20 OR 30 Mbps SDHC card!! It's what allows me to take video (by merely pressing one red dedicated "record" button) in 720p and brilliant, "punchy", 12 megapixel stills, with little to no delay between shots and recordings. Anything less would be...uncivilized...LOL. Seriously, Amazon has great cards at reasonable prices, and I purchased an 8GB SanDisk Class10 30Mbps read/write Extreme card, and the choice is rewarding. No long waits between shots & recording, no BS. I like the menus and indicators on the screen when you film. As you zoom, the actual number zoomX is printed on the screen and increases as you go all the way to 63.8X(extended zoom "on"). Not just a zoom bar. An icon shows what scene mode you're in, or what filter you're using (I like the "Film Grain" black and white setting, which adds an Old World style class and charm to your stills AND videos--yes, it works on videos, and the PinHole setting which makes you look through a virtual "pinhole" for that "peeping" effect) . When you record, the square reticule flashes red, a red dot above flashes, and there is an icon flashing with an arrow pointing to a memory card. You definitely know you're recording! No wondering. Stills same thing, just green. Every function you enact is clearly and visually displayed, nothing cryptic. Easy and bold and defined. Always know EXACTLY your function, filter, etc. Counts down recording seconds on screen, and time left on the card in seconds and minutes right on the screen. There's TWO PAGES of scene modes and filters. Multiple options for GPS (yes, there's a "bump" on the camera top that proudly displays the GPS logo). If you're into geo-tagging your filming and using them in iPhoto on Mac, it's my understanding it works great with "Faces". I have an Apple iMac 24" with iPhoto '09, but I haven't tried the GPS feature on the DMC ZS7 yet. It's well documented that it SEVERELY drains the included lithium battery (Amazon offers the exact replacement at a good price---get the original with the "PP" designation or it won't fit). Quick note about importing to a Mac---When I tried to import my 1st stills and vids, my 8GB Sandisk Class10 Extreme card did not import everything-even on multiple tries. However, my Windows 7 HP laptop had NO problems EASILY importing ALL the content. Can't explain that yet. Not the card, otherwise why did it work on my Windows 7 laptop? The 720p HD recordings on the DMC ZS7 are OUTSTANDING. I've seen test videos of the 1080p vids on the Fujifilm HS10 that can't hold a candle to what I get with the Lumix. Panasonic's algorithms for resolution and clarity REALLY are a tour-de-force to be reckoned with, and ACTUALLY WORK!! Zooming is smooth and fast (slower on vids, I admit, but still good). You have a "zoom resume" feature that allows you to cut the camera on from sleep mode, and start shooting with the exact zoom level you left off at. The sound is recorded from 2 mics set on the camera's top, and provide sterling audio. In options you can cut off the "wind effect" so that the sensitive mics don't pick up wind noises that might obliterate the more important audio in your recordings. You can control the LCD display brightness to 3 levels, and it is 460,000 pixels, not the standard 240,000, as the card attached to the camera says when you get it. That's evident when you play back your HD movies. I zoomed in on a float gliding across the pool, and you can actually see the "Inflate instructions" and safety precautions printed on it. The exposure, one-touch recording button, and switch for playback and filming are located in the upper right corner on the back, and CAN be hit accidentally. I find myself consciously always trying to avoid that, though I've never had any "accidental" recordings or stills taken. But it is the only little nitpick I can think of on an otherwise "Joy-to-use", "easy-to-understand", PHENOMENAL point & shoot that is a pocketable, portable powerhouse. Like a mini-DSLR in your pocket. AMAZING performance (get the FAST card...). Oh! Just thought of another nitpick. There's vertical light streaks present when you film DIRECTLY into a light source, such as the sun, oncoming nighttime headlights, etc. But the lowlight capabilities on the DMC ZS7 are INCREDIBLE--zooming with little to no blur, and excellent clarity. Okay, this has become a Bible, and I've only had the camera 4 days. I'll update when I discover anything new or significant. These are my 1st impressions, and don't cover every technical aspect, so sorry. Just wanted to convey the pleasure of owning and using what has now replaced my more expensive Megazoom as my camera of choice---"What's the best Camera? The one you have with you..." I forgot only one review can be submitted for a product here, but I wanted you to see how to achieve the 63.8X zoom for this Lumix, so go to YouTube and type this into the SEARCH bar: PANASONIC DMC-ZS7 INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET 63.8X ZOOM Take you straight to my video & others as well. Enjoy.

Great deal on this package. The battery alone is over $20.00. So... to get both a battery and the charger for such a low price is just amazing. Thanks for having this available to the public at such a great price. This set I bought for a freind and she is also impressed with the speed of charging and the longevity of the battery when in use.

Super Battery/Charger!! Save $$$!!

by Midnight Shopper from Detroit, MI USA on 2010-08-27
Bought this battery/charger to go with my Kodak digital camera. I already had purchased one prior and bought another one also with the charger because the price is less than battery alone. I can always find a charger or charge both at the same time. These batteries are great allowing you to take hundreds of pictures with one charge. The charging time is excellent for how long the charge lasts. I have never had to change batteries on a day trip when starting out with a full charge. I recommend this battery and charger. I have seen the battery alone on sale for $20.99. Great price! Great product!

basic voice recorder with direct USB conection

by Sergio Uribe from Vina del Mar, Chile on 2010-09-05
The good: 1. incorporated USB port 2. recognized as external drive, no need to install software 3. record in wav format (only in HQ mode, limited to 17 hours of recording) 4. editing functions of recorded audios 5. the cheapest voice recorded with this features 6. additional usual features: voice recording activate, etc (as any modern voice recorder)The bad: 1. worst button distribution ever. The off and stop recording button is the same 2. very complicate menus 3. yes, you can record 202 hours, *but* only in voc format. To save as wav format you must install the included software and made manually the conversion 4. no beep for start-stop recordingI bought this in replacement of my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (VN 6200PC). I am radiologist and I do not usually dictate long texts, instead 2-4 min, but many times. The button distribution is bad: the off and stop button is the same, so usually you stop AND turn off. And since is no beep, you press record, but the recorder is off :/ The sound is good, the incorporated speaker is ok and the higlights are the usb port and the editing features.If you need to take long records, this is a very good option. If you need start-stop very often, go for the olympus.RCA VR5220 512 MB Digital Voice Recorder (Black)

I rarely write reviews, but fealt obligated to get the word out there to other musicians about how amazing this product is!It is amazing, whenever I have a quick idea that I need to get into tangable form before I end up forgeting it, I reach for this product and record with the click of two buttons (on and record). It seems a little intimadating at first, but once you get the basics down for exactly what you are doing, then you will be proficient with it quite easily.Another awesome feature is the direct USB connectivty. I will admit that I thought it was wierd and stupid looking, but this actually comes to be very handy to just pop right into your PC to work on ideas later, which makes a little better to store and catalog since let me tell you, this thing has so much memory for this purpose that it could get a little overwealming with all the ideas that you could save with so many different song numbers and not actual titles. That might be something I wish it could do, but who knows, there are enough features maybe you can do that, and I just don't know how. Like I said before, I just read the directions once to know what I wanted to do with it, and never went back to it since it's pretty eash to use.But again, you are able to transfer the sound samples directly onto your pc with a few diferrent formats, and I've even brought the recorder directly to band practice to record rough ideas, and although you wont get any label attention with the sound quailty, it is more than enough to solidfy ideas. It's small enough to take anywhere too.Since I bought this product I have written several songs, and found it to be the most valuable weapon in my songwrigting aresenal. I can't picture my self living without it, and might purchase another down the road just to have a back up so that I could have one in every section of the house, or at work so when ideas strike, I have my trusty recorder right by my side!Truthfully, this product is AMAZING and I highly reccomend it!

Big bang for the bucks...

I bought this digital recorder at my local Wal-Mart for about $36. I looked at many but the deal breaker for me was that which ever one I bought had to have PC USB connectivity. Some were even more expensive and didn't even have that feature. Not only did this one have it, the connector is actually built right into the body and slides in and out by a sliding button on the back of the body, no connection wires needed, which is a plus in my book! I was still hestitant because of the low 512mb memory and low price thinking the recording quality may not be so hot, but after reading enough positive reviews here I thought I'd take the chance and I'm glad I did! Even on the highest quality recording setting you still get about 17 hrs. worth of recording space which is plenty for my uses. The sound quality and sensitivity of the mic blew me away. The recordings were super clear and the mic picked up EVERYTHING, even the ticking of my battery operated quartz wall clock. Be sure to read the instructions to set it up according to the conditions you are recording in. Plus experimentation will help you as well. For my uses I leave it on HQ period. so I cannot say about the slower speeds. I bought this as an inexpensive recorder for paranormal work for capturing audio events and EVP's. The HQ setting gives me the recording quality I need as well as plenty of record time for overnighters on cases. I am very pleased with this little recorder, I'm going to drop some lithium AAA's into it for even longer lasting battery time. It also has a headphone jack for standard mimi-plugs and a extension mic jack as well. The built in speaker works well too. If I ever upgrade it will only to be to record in stereo, but for my purposes it's not even needed, just a luxury. Highly recommended for your first digital recorder.

Exactly like the majority of the reviews said

by RG from on 2010-06-18
It only comes with a charging device via USB port. Highly advise getting a USB port that plugs into the wall for charging. The battery life is pretty low and doesn't seem to last very long. Camera doesn't take the greatest pictures. Overall a good product.

Extremely un-tech savvy wife can use..

by John T. Gatlin Jr. from IRAQ on 2010-05-30
Purchased for wife to take piks of kids while on military deployment. Didn't want anything fancy as I depend on military e-mail to receive piks so they must be low on memory. 5mp's is about as high as I can go. Takes decent pictures in the light. Sound kinda sucks. It was cheap and easy to operater. Pink is cool; Jr won't steal it and break it (hopefully). UNDER normal circumstances this would be perfect for a pre-teenaged or younger girl or an older person who is not comfortable with electronics. (people who could care less about high quality vids or piks, but just about being able to operate it)

Okay-power issues

by Adena E. Harvey from WV on 2010-05-23
I love the ematic functionality. It's great. The only problem is that it won't always charge up. I've had it plugged into my computer for over 12 hours now, and it still won't turn on. When it works, it is great, but when it shuts down- it refuses to recharge easily.

An adequate but overpriced radio

by Timothy D. Woodhouse from Boston MA on 2010-09-06
I don't know why this radio is so expensive. Based on reviews, I expected great sound quality and/or superior reception from this radio. Unfortunately, I got neither. I live immediately outside of Boston, in range of many radio stations, but did not find that the Sangean received any more or less than my car stereo or my existing $25 tabletop radio. To boot, the sound quality was lackluster. I do own a Sangean shower radio that i am happy with, but i set different criteria for that one (after all it's only a shower radio). Also of note, I received consecutive defective radios on this sale (the first one had something rattling around inside, and the second had a right-side speaker with static). I will continue my search for a solid radio. Boo.

Great radio, could be better for just a few cents....

by Vstmxo from USA on 2010-09-03
The Sangean PR-D5 sounds good for a compact radio, although for a few cents more Sangean could have added an external antenna jack. While it does a fine job of locking on signals, the addition of an external dipole antenna would make it almost perfect. Also, the auxiliary input jack (for connecting an MP3 player) is a nice touch. As for the construction, it's lightweight, looks nice, but feels a bit cheap. Everything works, but I feel compelled to treat the controls gingerly.

Well-designed, well made, good reception and sound quality

by Steven M. Cohen from on 2010-08-22
A good looking, clean design. The sound quality is very good, although somewhat bassy as others have said. This reception is quite good. Small enough to fit on the bedside table, and good portable size. Feels solidly built. Some more presets would be useful (only five) and an ability to keep the display lit at night. The read function is quite nice, as long as the station obliges.

Very Good

by Don M from on 2010-08-15
Very good product and features for the price. AM reception weaker on battery power.

pleased with quality of product

by Jane L. Oliver from Chapel Hill on 2010-07-14
got this radio as a gift for my radiohead husband so that he could carry it around for reception of FM. He loves it! Sound is a little thin/tinny but better than expected from portable with reasonable price

Just right

by C. Alarcon from Vancouver, BC, CAN on 2010-09-08
Perfect size for a SD card. I use it in my Pentax K-x and haven't had any problems whatsoever in over 3 months of use. It is a really great value at the asking price, so why pay more for an expensive card?

Decent card but

by Gevon Knox from on 2010-09-06
I bought the card for my dslr, that is the only device i used it with. After abour 8 months of use, it just stop working. There was no repairing it. I was thrilled with the card up to that point. I placed and RMA but i will buy an alternative.

Pro video chip

by Bob_Rides from NM-USA on 2010-09-06
I have five of these I use professionally shooting HD on a Panasonic AG HMC150, and they perform excellent. 1 year of great service so far. You won't be sorry. Good chip.

Useful but not CLASS 6 as expected

by Dominique Balabat from on 2010-09-04
I tried to use a benchmarker for SDHC but it's just NOT Class 6. Find it out yourself!!!!

Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6

by Tomasz Niemira from on 2010-09-02
I bought this in June 2009 for my wife's camera. It was OK for about 6 months, than crushed once. We lost a lot of pictures and movies of our family. I was able to reformat card and it work for another 2-3 months until it died completely. These time no luck, we lost all of our pictures that we had on this card. I'm very disappointed with reliability of this product.
