Conclusion: Wonderful camera under USA censorship


Review: I did not see any info for i5 camera and would never know about its existence - do USA magazines censor this camera? I needed a camera to take quick shots of small objects at work. After extensive search, I found i5 sold only in 2 places. Strange? This is free market? Anyway, as i5 is mentioned and praised in US "news" like much worse cameras are mentioned and praised, I feared i5 might be something bad, not worth attention, "lemon" product. Well, I purchased i5 as badly needed for work. Once I started doing pictures, I realized it is perfect camera for me and my co-workers and friends. I regularly share i5 with people around me. i5 takes very good pictures and has amazing macro capability - you can take pictures from as close as 1cm. I took a picturte of menu in restaurant and was shocked to see such fine detail like dots on menu that make specific colors. YES, I can see each dot individually, its shape and color - on printed menu in restaurant! i5 takes pictures without showing big barrel lens that tells everybody you are making zoom in. This camera is ALWAYS very thin. I use pro camera otherwise, that is very heavy and big - and takes near perfect pictures. Still, I love i5 and am very happy with it and take it almost everywhere I go. Peter

Conclusion: I'm on camera #3 now because of shutter problems....


Review: I bought this camera in January 2006. Used it for about 2 weeks and the shutter started sticking, opening occasionally, then not at all. Exchanged it hoping it was just that camera. Now I'm taking the second camera back 4 months later, it started in with shutter problems, not opening again. I thought maybe it was related to battery life...so today I went on an event, the camera was on the charger all night, battery shows full, took one photo and when I turn the camera off, it doesn't close or sticks half closed. Now I'm back to the store where I purchased it, don't know if I can get another brand camera or if I'll be on #3. I love the camera other than that aspect of it. Don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone else, I am VERY disappointed with it.

Conclusion: Bad quality


Review: I had it repaired within 1st month bought it. The image was distorted, and there are many dark horizontal lines through. The service center was prompted though, they told me something wrong with the lens barrel, and had it fixed on the same day. But then 1 month after the repair, similar problem came back. There are many dark horizontal lines, and image is over-exposed. I'm gonna send in for another repair soon. Although the features are good, I don't think the quality is good, especially there are a lot of image noise when taking pictures in the dark. Also, it's quite noisy when you zoom in and out. The image is quite blur at night.
