buying this camera was a great investment. I have been saving up to get a new camera for a while now. (I'm only 13) It is the best camera I have ever owned and I have owned quite a few cameras. (All didn't work very well) I haven't had the battery power problems that other people have had. The only problem...

Got this camera yesterday and was quite dissappointed. After using 3 sets of fully-charged NiMH batteries within 15 minutes, I was ready to get rid of this thing! Their is also a severe lag between when you press the shutter button and when the photo actually is taken (reminiscent to my old 3.1 MP Kodak...

I bought this camera on clearance, not expecting much, but it turns it it's great! I dont know why people say the pictures are bad, the look amzing! The video is great and the image stabilization helps alot. The blink and face detection work as advertised. The flash can be weird sometimes, and the camera occasionally freaks out for a second, but is fine after that. People say the battery life is horrible, but I used the same battery's for over 500 photos before they died, and that was over a few months! The zoom is a bit lacking, but still good. Very easy to use and very self explanitory. Overall...

This is a great little camera. We bought it to replace our film technology, and are very pleased with it. It is truly simple to operate with a plug and play system. It should be noted that the optional memory card is a must because it only holds about 6 pictures without it.
What a great little camera. I have a large digital camera which takes great pictures but it's a load to carry around. I ask for a smaller camera that I could take anywhere in my purse. My sons got this for me for Christmas and I loved it soooo much I bought it for my twin sister for our birthday. Get shots, clear pics very easy to use. Love it!!!!
This camera is very average. It does have a lot of features such as the face/smile/blink detection, which are nice. However, the quality of the pictures are mediocre. Nice for an amateur photographer, though.
I haven't been having the battery problems others have had, I do with GE would publish more detailed specs online though, I'm getting around 120 shots mixed flash/no flash. Be careful with flash in low light environments, I'm getting a lot of corruption in low light areas when i use it or the higher iso settings. It also uses flash far, far too frequently.That said using a tripod I've been getting fantastic shots, the manual settings rival many point and shoots at higher price points that I've used. When shooting indoors I recommend using custom white balance, and if you dont have steady hands,...

This camera was an early Christmas gift and I LOVE IT!!! This camera works great. The only thing is that you cant use cheap batteries in it. I bought some energizer rechargables for it and it works great!! The resolution of this camera is AMAZING!! You can see evering little thing. Also one thing I realy love about it is that it starts up in a snap! No more having to wait for your camera to loud up and miss that perfect picture! By far the BEST camera EVER!
Has a lot of great features, including the panoramic setting. Very easy to use; battery life average.
I found the shutter delay to be too long for what I needed. The quality is good, you get sharp pictures, but when printed, the colors are not true (whites look blue; beiges look brown/orange). I returned this camera in favor of the fht Canon PowerShot A1000IS.
I do not like this camera. I received this camera for christmas and was really excited to start using it. I have found that the delay between when you push the button to when the picture takes is WAY too long. By the time the picture is taken the shot I wanted is gone. My baby is 3 months old and does not sit still long enough or smile long enougn to capture her beautiful smile. My old camera was starting to fall apart and the pitures were begining to suffer but I would gladly go back after this. Also the battery drains super fast on this.
EXCELLENT CHOICE CAMERA FOR THE PRICE. A 12.1 MEGAPIXEL WITH AN ISO OF 3200, WHERE CAN U GET THAT FOR 99.99. ITS JUST ALITTLE SLOW WHEN CHANGING FROM THE DIFFERENT MODES, BUT I CAN DEAL WITH THAT. FOR BATTERIES, USE RECHARGABLE ONES, THEY WORK BEST AND HAVE A LONGER LIFE.
ge a1230 was purchase on december 30 and the lens got stuk. what should i do. the batteries life span is also too short.
