4 out of 5 stars Great camera for an awesome price!   September 16, 2007

Recently, I got this camera for my 16th birthday and I really really like it. The features that are on the camera are brilliant and great for anyone who loves to take pictures indoors, outdoors, around beautiful scenery, in the snow, fireworks, etc.

Pros:
-large LCD screen
-easily accessible features
-nice flash (maybe too much)
-beautiful pictures once on the computer

Cons:
-grainy LCD pictures
-pictures in the dark (outside at night) are not so hot
-slow start up when you turn the camera on

All in all, I would recommend this camera to anyone, but it's not for the pros. This camera isn't really a "beginner's camera," but it is something like that, just better :-).



3 out of 5 stars GE A830 8MP Digital Camera is OK   October 25, 2007

The camera is OK, good value for the money. Construction is a bit on the cheap side but it keeps it light. The only thing that's a drawback for me is the fact that it uses 2 AA batteries which weigh down the camera & you need to carry a 12 pack of them with you if you're out for a night of photos as the flash consumes them very quickly. When you carry the rechargeable, you're then stuck carrying the dead one's around with you all night which is truly a pain in the butt! If they could just put in a long lasting rechargeable batter - this would be five stars for the value.


4 out of 5 stars A product worth buying   November 27, 2007

I purchased this item about one month ago. I am very pleased with the performance, and agree that the flash might be a bit too much. However the major plus to me is the camera has all the desired features but not the complications to set them! It's truly user friendly.
To get around logging around a whole pack of batteries I use rechargeables and then only carry two extra.
If you purchase the item, I am sure you will enjoy it...

I would recommend this camera to anybody who loves to take pictures, it shows such great detail to were it makes anything you shoot comes to life. The only downfall is that I do recommend buying rechargeable batteries but come on don't get upset for it is worth the price for if you think about it nothing is to good to be true I am not trying to get all sales pitch here because that is not me I am just an everyday Joe I just like this camera it is my first to own digital camera but not my first time using one and believe me I am a stickler when it comes to spending my money. But just to be on the safe side get the rechargeable batteries so you do not miss a beat come to think of it if you look at the other digital cameras out there even the Sony cybershot you need AA also, I bet you they don't last long either. That does end my review and sorry I don't have a pic to share with you, To me it is a better experience in person. So yes I would say yeah if you are thinking about it yes I would buy this camera again if I was looking.


1 out of 5 stars Disappointed in Purchase   May 19, 2008

I heard great reviews about this camera but my experience was not good. After I read the instructions and turned on the camera the shutter only opened part way. Then when I took a video there was no sound. Then when my husband started taking pictures there where lines in every shot. Mine may have been a lemon in a good lot but I sent it packing and I am going to do more research for an affordable compact camera!
