Photo Sampling

It takes awhile for anyone to get use to new camera settings, if good photo is the outcome. Digimax S700 is designed for point & shoot with enough features/settings that will present very good result.

After browsing the features for better than one hour. The following sample shots were taken; please click on the image where applicable for enlarged view.

• Macro in daylight
  
• Dust using Pre-set mode and manual
  
• Full zoom result in daylight
  
• Flash without any light at night
  
• Continous shots
  
• Built-in template
  
• Lens Distortion
  
• Video in 640x320 30 fps

I inserted a 1GB SD card in before I took the shots and video below. Make sure you get a 1 or 2GB card at the time you order your camera.

These photo give you an idea of the build-in flash capability:


Flash coverage at 16 feet in total darkness, click to enlarge



Crop from photo above to show enough coverage on my beer.



7 continuous shots, note the 6th shot has taken a 2-second jump. The LCD screen blanks out when using continuous shot, you are totally "in the dark".



One of many built-in templates you could choose from.

Battery life:

I found myself constantly replacing the two AA 1600 mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries during my 4-day test of the camera. So, it is good to carry extra batteries with you. At full charge, the battery icon shows 3-bar, within minutes it will go down to 2-bar where it stays a bit longer, say for about another 30 shots without flash and 15 with before it goes to 1-bar. Turn the camera off for a few minutes, restart and it jumps back to 2-bar, otherwise, low battery icon will show and within seconds the camera turn off automatically.

At the end this is what I could get out from the pair of AAs on average:

Without flash - 90

With flash - 30

Total - 120 shots
