Conclusion: battery issues
Review: I've had tons of fun with my 'spy' cam but am putting it out to pasture because of the battery situation. Worked well the first half year, then before the warranty expired I sent it in, they didn't tell me what they did, it improved and then returned to the same problem even after I bought a new battery. I don't get many photos or much play with photo review and zoom before the battery gets sucked down to nothing.

Conclusion: An Affordable Digital Camera for All Occassions.
Review: I've had this camera for over a year now (purchased from Radio Shack for $235) and have loved the compact portability, features, and picture quality. Sure its picture quality cannot compare with my film camera, a Minolta XD11 (SLR purchased in 1978) with several intercahngable lens, but what digital camera can? I wanted a digital camera that I could put in my pocket and not worry about - not my usual semi-pro 230 mm focal length behemoth (camera with telephot lens) swinging from my neck and requiring a trip to the local film processor. On the golf course, hiking the forest, around the yard, at family reunions, parties, special events, this little wonder can be pulled out of a jacket or pants pocket, powered up and the photo captured before anyone knows you have a camera in hand. When taking pictures of my sons running track, I found the rapid fire picture taking especially useful - capturing every nuance of one son soaring over the high jump. Picture quality, although not as good as a film camera, matches some 6 and 8 Megapixel cameras. I know this because some pictures, taken of events where such other digital cameras are used, were selected superior and used by the people who took photographs using the other cameras. The icing on the cake is that I carried the camera with me in my shirt pocket - and no one knew it. If you want a camera that is easy to use (don't even have to read the manual) and carry, this is the one.

Conclusion: Kyocera Finecam SL400R
Review: This is the most convenient camera I have ever used. The expanded memory card I bought allows me to take a ton of pictures (over 100). The only problem I ever encountered was the original battery has no life longevity. I am in the market for a new battery. It has been 2.5 years since my purchase, and I guess that batteries don't last forever anyways!!
I have had "Wow"'s every time I pull this camera out of a pocket of my jeans. People are amazed at the size, design, and picture quality. I think with better marketing, this camera could have been HUGE!!!

Conclusion: Stop complaining !
Review: Hey, people ! This is a compact camera with a tiny lens , so picture quality will not be the best no matter what .Still, in my opinion it beats some cameras with picture and movie quality. The price you are paying is the price of comfort of having this little device in your pocket all the time.
The battery life seemed short for first few charges but now it is OK. Why don't you all complainers get an off market battery and charger for around $20 (for both) and stop whining.
This camera has the best features/settings I've seen in a compact camera (this is my 5th digital camera). If you cut a window in the case, you don't even have to take it out of the case to shoot a picture .

Conclusion: Awesome Design poor quality pics & low battery life
Review: I Loved this camera when I first bought it, my dad even bought one after he saw mine, the design is amazing, small to fit in your pockets and the feature where you can take pictures of your self with someone or only a portrait of yourself is great and its the only camera I know of that can do that. I get so many compliments on it and my friends always take it from me to take pictures of themselves, and the video feature on it is great, but the HUGE problem with this camera is it does not have any battery life. I love taking pictures which is why I wanted a small compact camera to take everywhere, but it runs out of batteries so fast! Which is a great disappointment when you take it on vacations and special events. The pictures also don't come out to great, but I think from reading allot of their reviews on small cameras has to do with the fact compact cameras has such a small flash. Its definatly not worth the 400, buy yourself a cannon or Nikon you wont regret it.
