This is a very stylish and great looking digi cam. It offers great functionality and comes equipped with a 2 MB smart media card. The MX-500 offers excellent quality as it can take snap shots at over 1.5 million pixels. This I perhaps more than you and I really need, but for the pro’s this is nothing they would require at least 3 million pixels. This cam has red eye reduction, as you would expect from any quality camera. As well as a flash with sensor on board. On the reverse of the camera can be found its 1.5-inch digital display screen. This could have come with a cover for protection against dirt and scratches.
The machine comes with 7 functions including photo playback and locking your images so they cannot accidentally be deleted. There is also a digital x2 zoom and macro zoom. It also comes with the necessary leads, allowing you to connect it to you PC and unusually your TV +Video Recorder. The 2MB smart card is, well really a load of rubbish. It has trouble holding a tiny 13 pictures. And if you use high res. this is cut even more. I would recommend that if you buy this cam then you will almost certainly need to upgrade the card to a 8MB or higher. The machine is battery hungry. It takes 4 AA batteries, (supplied) which you will realise lasts you less than 45 minutes. When I bought this cam it cost me £400, now you could pick it up for about half price.
If I could go back in time, I could definitely think of better ways to spend £400. To get the best out of it a fast PC is recommended along with a high quality photo printer. (Check out the great review on the HP 950 photo printer.) This is a great buy; the only thing that lets it down is the card. Go and get it now. Thanks for reading this hope you got the information you needed about digi cams.
