DXG DXG-409 4MP Digital Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(...) Took 5 pictures with and without flash. My other camera is a 3-year old Canon S100 with 2MP resolution and I will review my experience with the DXG-409C in compariosn to the Canon.
Pros:
- Small Size
- Nice fit and finish (plastic body but feels ok)
- Package includes case (Had to buy extra for Canon)
- Uses 2 inexpensive AAA batteries (Canon uses pricey Li-Ions)
- No special software or driver was needed under Windows XP and the camera was recognized as an external drive (but they did include a CD with drivers and imgae software).
- Date and other settings retained even when batteries are replaced.
- 4MP (officially).
Cons:
- No optical zoom (I guess you can only get digital zoom at this price point)
- Long 5 second procesing time after every shot
- Even at 6 ft, the picture was slightly fuzzy (I didn't use digital zoom). 2MP Canon pix were distinctly sharper.
- No lens cover
- Flimsy rubber-like cover for USB-out, difficult to use.
- Batteries drain very quickly especially if using flash.
- Even at 4Mp and "Best" Image quality setting, the final iamges are about 450KB which is about the same size as the 2MP images on the Canon. Is the DXG overcompressing the JPGs and is this why the pictures are fuzzy?
Bottom line:
For casual/first time users, this should be ok. If you are serious, have used a brand name digital camera before or plan to keep the camera for 2-3 years, stay away.
