Review by Jayarava for Rating: I've had my s1500 for two weeks now. It is easy to use, I've not felt that bothered by not haivng a printed manual. For the price this camera has a lot of features, and provides more scope than basic point and shoot (PAS) models. But. like others I have struggled to get a really crisp image. I think it's probably one or both of 1. poor censor I see little advantage over my cheap Canon 7MP PAS for instance. Probably all the money has gone on electronic features and the zoom. 2. jpg artefacts it looks to me like there is a little too much compression on the images right from the beginning areas of flat colour for instance. Even at the highest quality the images are in focus, but look like they've had a soft-focus filter applied, and have artefacts especially around the edges. This is the biggest disappointment for anyone looking for an SLR substitute but it's a 1/3 the price of a cheap DSLR!The camera is slow. It takes a long time to focus, to take the shot, and to process it. Deleting images also takes time can't shut the animation off which would speed things up. Focussing on supermacro takes about 2 seconds no chance of catching anything lively. There are manual functions but in fact there is not a huge amount of scope for changing the settings. For instance f4 f8 is about the most you can expect. So not great depth of field. There are compensations from being digital, but the lens is upgraded PAS not a downgraded SLR.I agree that at this price, and with a lens that is pushed forward on activation, I would have like the option for a filter for protection, and the lens cap a little more firmly attached (I've knocked it off accidentally a couple of times already).On the plus side 12x zoom is great. Much better than digital zoom. The s1500 comes with digital zoom switched off. I tried it but switched it back off again. The panorama function is great fun. Battery life is good I forked out for rechargeables now I'm using 4 at a time! Unlike another reviewer my camera has no problem with red I've got some spectacular sunsets (in panorama) already. The super macro allows you to get very close to your subject and the zoom is switched off so there's no confusion about what kind of photo you're taking (someone complained about macro/zoom focussing in another review).If you are on a restricted budget but wanting features to play with then you may find this camera suits you. If you think you'll get DSLR quality you'll disappointed this is a step up from PAS, but not a giant step.I think those people who have given this camera 5/5 are not realistic and must have had very low expectations indeed. Similarly the very low reviews seem to have unfairly high expectations. This is an OK camera for the price. It's fun. I'm stuck with it because of my budget, but I can see it's going to keep me amused. There are always limitations.
