Review:
As a life-long shutter bug, I finally gave in to technology and bought a digital camera. I am so amazed at the quality of the pictures and how easy it is to use. (I had a little trouble with the battery cover at first). I would highly recommend the A650, especially at the price. Plus the speedy delivery time, thank you Precision! Problems I've encountered:
getting the hang of the battery cover Previous equivalent item owned:
35mm camcorders Recommended Accessories:
I would recommend the adapter kit while transferring to your computer to save your battery life. |
