slow and blurry but reliable

User Score: 6.png It hasn't failed me yet, but the batteries don't stay charged more than an hour and you miss the most important shots. Photos are blurry even on the highest setting so you may as well choose 2 megapixel and get more on there. You have to shrink them down to 1 megapixel using a photo editor anyway just to give them the illusion of being crisp and sharp. I needed a cheap throwaway camera to take fishing and I got it for just a couple of bucks, yet it held up despite banging around all Summer in the world's roughest seas.

Shoot -- the zoom jammed almost immediately & can't be fixed.

User Score: 2.png Oh, I wish I had read this review before buying the E850 (though on steep discount @ a Walgreens -- you know, one of those top-notch camera stores). Yes, the camera is slow and takes "noisy" pictures. Worse, the zoom lens jammed askew and cannot be fixed. As in can not be fixed. Ugh. Anyone need mine for spare parts?

Agree with Chris.

User Score: 10.png I've used a few digital cameras and this one is just as competent as most of them.

I like the zoom wheel which was very easy to use and the overall ease of use is remarkable.

The battery charging is great, the wide screen stitching is great and after working for a bit I can get to all the features in a snap.

Picture quality was a good as any 8M camera and for 99% of most users it is as advertised.

Very fragile camera

User Score: 2.png I have had three digital cameras, and I just got this one for Christmas last year. Already, the prongs inside the camera where the USB cable connects have been damaged so that the computer will no longer see the camera. I take good care of my technology and have been careful with this camera. When I called GE tech support, they said there was nothing they could do and this is not covered under warranty. The only thing they could suggest was to buy a card reader. This is a solution but not a good one. This must be a very fragile camera.

Good camera, long battery life and wide angle lens is 28mm equiv

User Score: 8.png I use this for indoor shots and the wide angle lens and long battery life are great. I thought the recycle time is satisfactory, better than the Fuji A500 I had. The battery recharge time is quick too. In very bright direct sunlight the LCD is hard to see, but overall a good buy; I would recommend it
