General Comments

Kyocera Finecam S5R
This is a great camera for taking quick shots. It is very good at metering except in low light conditions. I feel I am overly critical because this camera was not made for taking expert shots. The F-stop options are extremely limited and will only allow you to nudge towards a low or high value and will decide itself. It has no options for aperature priority etc. But as I said this camera was made for taking quick shots that usually turn out very well. Even though it is not very customisable it will take professional looking shots. I have had this camera for nearly a year and the battery is now pretty much useless, it does not seem to charge properly anymore.

Videos taken with this camera are extremely disappointing in my opinion and drains the battery very quickly and takes up A LOT of memory.
