love it! September 4, 2010
Kari L. Johnson (Reno)
I love this camera. Wanted to get an SLR with changeable lenses, but wasn't willing to pay the money for one. This camera is awesome, it has a fantastic zoom, you can choose what you want the focus to be on by holding down the shutter button halfway and ten oushing it the rest of the way to take the picture. Macro option works awesome for close-ups, and the panoramic feature is so cool! You can connect three frames into one. Main drawback is while doing video if you zoom and out you can hear the motor grinding. Also a lot of lag time after pushing the button and taking the picture, so you have to anticipate the timing if photographing moving objects or expressions on peoples faces, kind of frustrating especially for faces, but awesome for landscapes and other still photography.
 defective unit August 27, 2010

The camera was defective. Only used it one weekend and it shut off without warning twice, told me to "turn off and back on" once, seemed to freeze up on several occasions and wouldn't let me turn it off or use any of the adjustments for a few second, and the view finder and LCD screen turned green and white once and purple several times. I took well over 200 shots using wide angle, zoom, close up, w/ and w/o flash, video... with full auto and the various programmable modes, all at maximum resolution, and over 3/4th of these were blurred. Of these 40 or so, none came out as sharp as pics from my Fuji S7000 at 6meg or my Pentax Optio 330 at 3 meg. In certain modes the anti-shake was on, didn't seem to make a difference. I really like my S7000, but wanted an upgrade. Not this one!
I liked the size, great zoom, and adjustable parameters on this model. But way too many problems came up. Might just be a defective unit... but it's going back today. One other thing is that the surface of the LCD screen protrudes out by itself and will end up getting scratched very fast. Didn't even want to carry it for fear of scratching against the buttons of my shirt.
Am trying the Pentax DSLR K-x at $499.00. Less lens and a lot more expensive, but I sure hope it lives up to my expectations.
Very Pleased August 24, 2010

I purchased a GE X5 Power Pro from Sears. The camera was O.K. and easy to use but I had more bad shots than good. I used all of the different setting and adjustments but found the camera was just not up to par. I returned it to Sears. I then purchased the Fuji S1800 for about the same price through Amazon. The Fuji is a much better camera. It is easy to use and the Macro shots are excellent. It's a keeper.

this camera is awesome for anybody that wants to practice being a professional photographer because its very basic. Overall though its fun to use and it's very light weight. I really enjoy the panoramic feature and I really have a lot of fun with the HD video recorder. Down side is your really just paying for the extra zoom and that is it, because you can find some really compact camera that fit in your pocket for the same price and all the same features except the zoom of course. But its not a bad camera I don't regret buying one.
great semi-pro camera with some limitations. August 19, 2010

beginner user learning photography
ok I know that a potential buyer wants to know why not to buy this camera so ill list the limitations first:
no exterior flash hot shoe. no lens filter threads. mem chip is in the battery storage on bottom of camera. only jpeg format for the stills. I would have like them to go the extra penny on the larger rather than the smaller tiny usb connector or better yet why not just build the camera so you can plug a thumb drive right into the camera.
ok now on to the positive aspects over all this seems to be alot of camera for the price. I want to learn photography possibly up to a semi-professional level but I didn't want/ didn't have the money to commit to a full blown DSLR so when shopping around I encountered the s1800 and its brother the 2550? which has an hdml connector. it had many features I was looking for good pixel size, built in zoom, even some video capability weighing the features and the limitations I decited to buy the S1800....
in the box was the camera (its slightly smaller and lighter than I expected but im old school when it comes to 35mm and its just good enough not to have a "cheap feel") it came with 4xAA batts, an inexpensive strap, a unimpressive lens cap,, and a USB cable,, and like 3 basic manuals in different languages and a CD with some softwear and advanced manual i havent installed yet. the support was a cardboard eggcarton configuration.
I took the camera out and played with it knowing little about digital camera operation but was still able to figure out basic operations without a problem.
my first shot was a dragonfly on a branch from 6feet away in daylight and I have to say the results were a plesant suprise as there were some reports that it was blury at high zoom and I found the camera to be respectably stable (I did have a mini tripod attached for added stability but wasnt ground placed) the shot had the dragon fly in crisp focused detail. (im using one of the lower picture resolutions the 2mb on fine it translates to about a 500k pic.
my next attempt was some star shots and while I was able to shoot the intended star I failed to get anything like a starry night pic but it may have been my failure and I need to be more agressive with the configurations, (on a side note the eyepiece crosshair functioned like a hud scope and by placing my eye a few inches back from the eye piece and looking with both eyes I was able to target a selected star to get it in frame even at full zoom)
my third test was falling water I set this on the sport setting but was unable in a few frames to get frozen falling water I need to do more research as I believe this camera is capable of it.
my final is a sunset (there is a sunset specialty setting) even in my crappy ugly location ,just goofing off I took a photo that has gotten a wow responce several times from friends.
FINAL NONES a 4gb chip will hold like 6000+ of the low resolution pictures (500k) this is a very versitile camera for the money and I think it would find a place as a support or backup camera even if I had the big bucks would like to see RAW format, thumb drive support, filter threads, and exterior hookup ports for flash and mic and shutter.
