Meanwhile, there were others who were not satisfied with the camera. One of them said that it was not designed in a way which made it easy to grip. He says that the camera was thinner and flat across making it hard for him to handle, which caused him to drop it a number of times. A few of those who gave reviews had issues with the camera not being able to focus and the subjects of the picture had to remain perfectly still so that the pictures didn’t get all blurry. Another customer added that without the flash, the camera was completely useless because the picture colors seemed off without the flash.

Based on the remarks and the ratings, there are quite a few issues which are consistent among a number of the reviewers. Thus, we have second thoughts about recommending this camera to you.
