(More customer reviews)Well, my wife rarely buys me gifts, but she could hardly contain her enthusiasm when she presented me with this gorgeous little camera for no reason. I've had 3 digitals- an original Sony Mavica, a Toshiba, and currently a Fuji Finepix 6800Z. I was really taken by the small size and function of this little beauty, but I was a little worried when there was no mention anywhere - on line, in the owners manual - of battery life. Well, for good reason. The lithium ion battery, fully charged, only gave me 35 minutes of life. I used it as I would if I were on a trip - snapping away, about 30 pictures, a few rapid sequence pictures, and a short movie. I kept the LCD display on dim, and didn't pre or post view the images, to keep battery use down. I was incredibly disappointed when the battery dipped into the low range after 35 mintes - bear in mind, this isn't 35 minutes of constant use, but 35 minutes of being on. it is on its way back to Amazon, and I'll stick with my Fuji. What a stupid and idiotic product; what in God's name does someone like Kyocera think when they market this? Don't they use it? Don't they test it? And the 16mb card it comes with - 9 pictures? Plus, there's no lens cap, so about every 4th time you reach into your pocket to get it out your fingers hit the lens. This ia huge marketing gaffe and is pretty amazing for a japanese company, so revered for their "human" engineering.
PIctures, functionality, size, etc. were all excellent, so this camera is a really sad indictment of how fundamental functions of a camera can completely destroy its value.
