Title: great for non-action shots
Product review: I bought this camera to replace a Kodak that was stolen. I bought it because it had (at the time) a higher than normal zoom (6x) and got decent reviews. After owning it for a year, I can say definitively that I LOVE it for macro shots and still photography. I HATE it for 2 reasons- it has an electronic viewfinder and not just a lens viewfinder and I HATE it for taking pictures of anything requiring any kind of quick response- the shutter takes around a second to respond and you will miss MANY shots. This is just not acceptable for me while trying to take pictures of my kids. For the first time in my life I am looking to buy another electronic item without the first one breaking, being stolen, or being outdated! If you only want to take still shots, this is a great camera. But if you want to take any pictures that include movement- find something with a quicker shutter response time.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
