A máquina é perfeita e faz excelentes imagens!

Achei a máquina muito prática, minha namorada já tirou algumas fotos, inclusive, teve a felicidade de captar a imagem de um esquilo comendo ameixas no jardim da casa dela. Ficaram lindas as fotos e realmente compensa ter esta máquina fotográfica da HP. Perfeito, super facíl e prático pra mexer com as várias ferramentas.

I think the camera is very practical, my girlfriend already took some pictures, even had the good fortune to capture the image of a squirrel eating plums in the garden of her home. The photos were beautiful and really worth having this camera from HP. Perfect, super easy and practical to tinker with the various tools.

Great value. Great pictures.

I read the reviews on this camera before purchasing. I am always reluctant when reading the negative reviews, but I figured the positive ones outweighed them. I figured $80 was worth a try for a camera of this megapixel size. I also liked some of the features too.

My camera arrived and I used it immediately. I like how light-weight it is. The pictures came out great. Some were blurry, but it may have been the kids moving that made it this way.

I enjoy this camera. It is a great price. Nice to have for taking everyday pictures to capture moments. HP PB360 12 MP Digital Camera with 3-Inch Touchscreen LCD (Bronze)

It takes meticulous engineering to create a camera so slim and stylish and so impressively equipped with Canon's most advanced camera features.

A surprise delight.

Took matching pictures with this little gem and my Nikon D90 using several different lens types. When compared side by side on a 25 inch monitor it was very difficult to tell the difference between the results of the two cameras. While the Nikon pictures were a bit sharper when the images were expanded, the quality of this camera's shots was quite impressive. In addition, it has virtually all of the manual features found on the Nikon. Very impressive for such a little device.

Disposable point and shoot

I don't know what is happening to all of the major brands we knew and trusted....I purchased this camera to replace a 5 yr old 5 mp Olympus 5050 that was broken at my wife's friend's bridal shower- (she left it at the table to go to the restroom and when she came back, she found 3 batteries sitting next to the camera, and 1 on the floor, she tried to put the batteries back in and door would not lock down..noone said anything to her.)
Meanwhile, I was actually was looking to get a new camera, right before the incident, for I was getting tired of the bulk and older, slower features. Soon as I saw the 780is, I liked the sleek look and ultra-portability, combined with the 12mp and video capability, and It was a Canon, I was jazzed...but it had a 299.99 price tag, that busted the bubble. I said Canon's crazy, I'll wait until the price goes down when the new model comes out. (for those that don't know, a company's new model after a re-design usually is the same product with 1 or 2 extra features, nothing to trip over yourself for.)
I patiently waited finally found one for under 170.00 and ordered it right up. Upon receiving the cam, my first thought was man it is small, I charged it up and started taking test shots against his replacement, the Olympus.
Here's where the try before you buy is critical, The pics from the Canon were instantly noticeable being grainy and smaller detail was blown out. I thought it was broken, so I called the company and they sent me a replacement. I did notice something else that did disappoint me, both cameras I received were stamped Made In China...Yes, The Japanese brand and rep is now outsourcing to China...great.
Sorry, and no offense, but so far, the quality of China goods I've received is not of the highest standards.

The pic quality of this cam proves that and says it all- grainy and blurry for inside shots (retouching required) only the outside shots, both still and video, look awesome, but sound on the video is bad, too.

After the initial disappointment faded, and I realized quality control is pretty much dead everywhere, I decided to keep the Canon, just for the quick point and shoot convenience. Not to mention that after 2 month of casual use, the paint on the body is wearing off in spots. If I had purchased it at the original price or anything higher than I paid, it would have gone right back.
P/S. I did not retire the Olympus after purchasing the Canon as I intended, for its pic quality is superior. A 5 yr old 5mp cam with a rubber band holding it's batteries in place performs better over brand new 12mp cam, What's that tell you??

Aesthetically pleasing

It's a nice camera. The picture quality is phenomenal. However, when I shoot pictures at night especially lights, the pictures come out blurry. The camera says that my hand is shaking (which it is not). I'm still an amateur when it comes to picture taking and dealing with camera technology so maybe it's something I did wrong. Perhaps I should read the manual and try out everything. But overall, the quality of the pictures is excellent and even made my friend who likes taking pictures very jealous.

Fatal Design Error - maximum 3 month lifespan

I have always gotten Canon Powershot cameras and loved them - at least all of my previous cameras - until now.

This is my second camera of this model, and after just 3 months it's lens will not open fully due to "Lens Error". My first camera only lasted 3 weeks before it had this same problem. I had returned the first camera, thinking that it was a fluke with the individual camera, but now I see that this fatal problem is a design flaw that is present in every Canon camera of this model.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!!! It only has a lifespan of 3 months maximum!!!

Best Compact Camera I have owned..

I am thinking of selling my Canon dSLR because this little camera takes such awesome shots...

Here is what I LOVE about this camera:
- 720p recording with stereo sound
- Insane 14x zoom
- GPS tagging shows on a map in my iPhoto where the photo was taken
- Durable weight and feel, I feel like I am holding something strong and solid in my hand
- Amazing outdoor photo quality

Here is what I DON'T LOVE (But can live with) about this camera:
- GPS is slow to acquire position, so if you whip it out for a quick shot it won't have time to find out where you are
- Indoor flash photography isn't amazing. Average for a camera in this price point but could be better.


Overall if you do most of your photo taking outside this will be a dream camera for you. If you travel and want to remember the places you visited on a map. This is the dream camera for you.

I couldn't recommend this camera enough.

Exterior quality is not as good as the zs3

I owned the prior model Zs3 that had gotten stolen. Unfortunately I didn't catch who did it. So I went on the search for the same camera. And sadly the price had gone up a whopping 100 more than what I purchased it for. So I settled for the Zs7 instead. Read the reviews and thought. Well its cheaper and its the newer version of mine. So I went ahead and ordered. Just received it today, I was super excited. But then that disappeared as soon as I opened the box. The exterior quality is cheaper, way cheaper than the previous model. It almost feels flimsy. The zoom tab...is plastic, the point and shoot button has a plasticy feel to it. The different modes slot, does not easy glide. The Zs3 I could change the mode with my thumb, sliding it easily. The casing of the camera is plastic, the Zs3 is actual metallic feeling to it!!! and its way lighter than the Zs3. I liked the idea of having a heavier camera, much more sturdy. I'm returning this bad boy as soon as I get a postage stamp on it. It's unfortunate, the newer model with all the upgrades they did to the piece they neglected the exterior. Which quite literally killed it for me.

A disappointment

This camera feels good in my hand, and I love the battery charger. To not have a long cord, but just a simple 2 prong arrangement is fabulous. And the big screen was great.
But I was very disappointed with the quality of the camera. I particular the shots even in focus are not sharp, which really surprised me from a Leica lens, as i used to have leicas and the lenses were sharp as a tack. This must be their low end line. i'm a semi-pro, so i know wherefore I speak on this. In addition, the colors are not accurate, and the camera is just plain slow. i used it to shoot a party, and most of the shots were blurry.
No wonder so many people don't think they can take photos-so much equipment is inferior.
I was so excited to have a camera that I could just put in my pocket that I was willing to forego having RAW. But this is not for me.
I tried the smaller one as well, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch, and that was very Mickey Mouse. In comparison, the Nikon P6000 beats them both by a country mile, though it has a long cord on the battery charger, the battery runs out too quickly, and is a bit larger. Oh well. Worth the try but it's going back tomorrow with the other one..

Lumix DMC-ZS7 camera

Ordered on Thursday and got it Monday. Amazon is the best. I buy everything I can thru them even if the price is slightly higher. Panasonic has hit a home run with the ZS7. I need a clear 25 mm wide lens on the bottom and clear 300 mm on the top for my work everyday. Its solid all around, image stabilization is one of the best I've experienced, shoot it full automatic in iA mode or set exposure in P mode or full manual it that's your thing. Incredible small size fits in a shirt pocket.
In fact I liked it so much I bought another ZS7 in Red for my 92-year-old mother and she's taking photos with it now.

The pocketable PowerShot S90 gives powerful everyday shooting. Shoot quickly with a lens control ring and get superior low-light performance with a high-sensitivity 10.0 MP CCD and f/2.0 lens. A high-sensitivity CCD sensor gives outstanding image quality in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Even images taken at high ISOs show exceptionally low noise levels and a wide dynamic range. A bright f/2.0 aperture allows exceptional versatility, capturing low-light images and fast-moving subjects at higher shutter speeds. A wide angle of 28mm lets you put more in the frame, while Canon's optical IS reduces blur caused by camera shake.

Just What I Was Looking For

I live in a one camera household, so an SLR simply wasn't feasible. The S90 has been an acceptable compromise for both my wife and I. I love the fast lens, macro capabilities, and low-light responsiveness. My wife loves the portability and the fact she can select auto and take consistently great pics.

The small size comes with a cost. I have to always remember to keep my finger off of the pop up flash, so as not to impede it from popping up. Most importantly, the brushed aluminum finish lacks any tactile feel. I immediately purchased the Franiec custom grip and it has made a big difference.

The video recording is not 720p, but it looks great anyway (due no doubt to the great lens). I have read of others who have been dissatisfied with the battery life, but after coming from a camera using rechargeable AAs, I have no complaints.

We take lots of pictures at evening events and indoors, so we have been very happy with our S90. There have been a few times when I wished it had a 10x or 12x lens, but then again, those cameras can't match the photo quality of mine. It isn't perfect, but I've never been more pleased with a point and shoot. Canon really listened to consumers when they designed this one.

Canon S90 or SD4000?

As of July 2010, Canon S90 and Canon SD4000 are two of the best pocketable point and shoot cameras. Tough choice. Having used both, here is my take on these two excellent cameras:

ADVANTAGES OF S90 Over SD4000

1. Better picture quality.
2. Lots of manual controls.
3. Can capture images in RAW mode, allowing you lot more editing and image manipulation options.

ADVANTAGES OF SD4000 Over S90

1. HD video recording.
2. Slow motion video recording.
3. Some extra image effects like miniaturization and fish eye.
4. Slightly smaller size.
5. Native Eye-Fi support. But Eye-Fi card also works in S90.
6. I found a little better low light performance.

If you are looking for an excellent still image point & shoot camera and do not care that much about HD video then go for S90, which is really a prosumer camera designed for advanced amateur. But if you want an all in one, simple to use camera with ability to shoot good still pictures and HD video, then SD4000 is your camera.

Honey Canon shrunk their slr

My wife and are are novice photographers. We lugs our heavy gears every where we go trying to get high quality photos. Due to the cost of the typical underwater housing of an slr, we decided to go with the S90 + a housing. Prior to the S90, we owned 5 others P&S cameras, all highly recommended by dpreview, but none does the trick. However, the S90 does most of the stuffs that an average photographers would want in a very small body.
1) features (4/5): how about panoramic and hdr assist features
2) ease of use (5/5): The interface is very intuitive. The front and back rings allow quick change of settings which encourages creativities, not often found on P&S cameras.
3) Picture quality(5/5): AMAZING! Most the time, the photo does not look as good on computer as it does on the camera preview screen but that's not the case for the S90.
4) Portability (5/5): The camera is definitely not the smallest but its small enough to be pocket size. It is small enough for me to hold it in the palm of my hand and do point blank candid shots.
5) Battery life (3/5): With moderate playback, 1 battery allows us to take 200 photos. OEM replacement batteries are $12 each so we had 4 in our little pouch. My wife can go through 2-3 battery per day easily.
5) Low light (4/5): Depending on the amount of light available, iso 400 is about the highest we can go and still get some decent photos. Since the lens can open at F2 at the wide end, its easy to do hand-held night landscape shot at ISO 80.

Finally, a small camera that I am happy with....

I've had this camera for 2 months now and have been very pleased with the picture quality. I chose this camera because of its pocketability. I've owned a DSLR (Canon XTI) and G11 before, however due to their size they mostly stayed at home. This is my 6th P&S camera from Canon (I have upgradetitis) and I'm planning on keeping this for a long time. I would also recommend purchasing the aftermarket grip, gordy neck strap, lensmate filter adapter, and LCD protector for this camera.

Panasonic DMC-FH20K Digital Camera Features

28mm Wide-angle Lens
The 28mm wide-angle lens* lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective, even from short distances.
* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the maximum wide position.

Powerful 8x Optical Zoom

You just choose iA Mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. 4 detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings, so you get stunning photos every time.

Extended Battery Life
The energy-saving Venus Engine IV image-processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery which has been slimmed down to fit into thinner camera bodies work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-FH20. This lets users take approx. 300 shots on a sin

Very nice camera if you don't need 2 batteries

It's a shame to give only one star to a very nice product, but to me, this very nice camera is useless. I need two batteries...always need a spare so that while I'm out, when the battery dies, I can continue shooting pictures. Sadly, Panasonic has crippled their cameras against use of any non-Panasonic battery, and THEY DO NOT SELL A BATTERY FOR THIS CAMERA (as of 7/28/10).

So, this very fine camera must go back to the store and gets a one-star rating from me. Very, very sad.

If you're interested in this camera and don't need a spare battery, buy it! If by now (whenever you are reading this review) Panasonic has a battery available, consider this a four-star review!

I recently purchased this camera a few weeks ago and so far I love it. The quality of the pictures is far better than any other camera on the market. If you an amateur photographer who loves to get out and take pictures, without having to lug a huge around camera around then is the perfect one for you. The only drawback to this camera is that you cannot zoom in and out while you're taking video, but other than that this is a great camera for the price. I highly recommend it!
