User Reviews about GE A950-BK 9MP Digital Camera with 5X Optical Zoom and 2.5 Inch LCD with Auto Brightness - Black

Arrived ahead of schedule and as advertised. A great camera at a great price! -- GE A950

I bought this camera to leave at work for when I didn't have my real camera. I work as a DJ and often have the need to take pictures, but don't want to lug an expensive camera into a bar(They get stolen or beer soaked). I didn't want to spend a lot of money, on what was technically a "spare" camera even though it is the only camera I bring to work.

That said: It's a decent camera. It uses AA batteries so you'll rarely be in a situation where you can't find batteries. The picture quality is passable. Much better than a Camera Phone, not nearly as nice as a $150-$200 camera.

The auto-focus is hit or miss. Overall, I can see it being a major pain in the butt if this is your only camera. This is not the camera you want to use to preserve "once-in-a-lifetime" events. Make sure you can re-shoot if necessary, or that you can live without the picture.

For snapping photos of people singing Karaoke, dancing or an occasional photo-op... it's a great little camera to have around.

It's loaded with features that make it fun to use.
Well-planned out buttons and menus.

If you're capturing you child's first steps, or documenting your biggest vacation ever... pony-up the cash and buy a real camera. (Even a low end Panasonic Lumix takes much better pictures, at only $50 more. (Remember, mega-pixels are a selling gimmick, and have no effect whatsoever on the image quality. Image quality is based on the Lens and the Image Sensor and the internal electronics, all of which are budget grade in this camera. 9.1mp of noise is simply noise.)

As a camera to keep in the glove box for those unexpected photo opportunities... It's a no-brainer. You won't find a more feature rich camera with passable results at this price (I paid $[...] w/free shipping) -- A good, cheap camera.

I have not had a lot of experience with it but I have shot over 100 pictures inside my house and on cloudy days. The picture quality is good. It is fairly easy to use but I am really going to reserve my final judgment until I have shot more at home and in low light. Definitely, not better than comparable Canon and Fuji cameras my friends have but again I paid little ($60) so I am not going to fuss much. -- Not a "WOW-WHAT-A-STEAL"but adequate for the money

Works much better than the cameras I had before. Very good price for the product. -- Excellent for the price.
