As I’ve mentioned before when this deal was up, I sent this camera with my son on a 5 week super-rigorous canoe trip in northern Canada with no expectation that it would survive. Not only is it still taking good pictures, particularly great panoramic shots, he brought back hundreds of incredible pictures and some surprisingly good video. He did do a good job of protecting it with a submersible camera case, so I don’t want to imply this is water resistant. It’s well worth the 50 clams for a reliable knock-around that won’t break your heart if lost, broken, or stolen.
Yes, this looks like a good bang it around quick shot camera. if it has a 14MP sensor, that’s not bad considering the camera it is attached to. If you are a serious picture taker, you may want something from a manufacturer that is still making cameras. Kodak is bailing or has already jumped ship from making cameras. So this would be ok for quick shots or to give to the kids. Gets broke, most likely can fix it. The price is right for a knock around camera.
