For the price and size – Excellent. Love the cool features this camera offers. One draw back, the flash does not pop open, you need to press the side button and it will open.
Have not given a true test but for the pics I’ve taken I’m very pleased!!

Use memory card
Posted 04/10/2013
You can use a memory card to load the pictures to your computer without a driver for the camera. If your computer has usb ports, which most do, you can get a memory card reader. Targus makes them and can be found in Walmart.

Review 12 for GE X500 Black 16MP UltraZoom Digital Camera, 15X Optical Zoom, 4.9-73.5mm f3.0 Wide Angle Lens, 2.7" LCD w/ Viewfinder

This camera was more than worth the price of $109. I could not find a comparable camera for that price anywhere on discount websites or otherwise. After previously having a basic point and shoot many of my pictures are still blurry but once I learn the settings I believe that my photos will far surpass anything I was able to take with my previous camera. If you do not have PC you can do all the Editing on the camera another step up and also do not need a PC to be able print because of Picture Bridge software. While it takes some time getting use to and I would not use it for crucial photographing until I was more acquainted with it, it is a wonderful value that I would not pass up.

After receiving the camera and using for a week, the on button began flashing red and the camera stopped turning on. Replaced batteries with no change. Called company and they asked me to send in for testing and repair. Response was that camera was functioning fine. Returned to me working. After 1 photo session, on button began flashing red again. Too expensive to continue to send back to company for repairs after every photo session. Costs $14 Fed Ex. My grandchildren just aren't that cute.

Enjoying it so far. Needs paper owners manual in addition to the on-line one, to take to the field with camera. Camera makes too much noise... sounds for every function. Takes wonderful photos indoors with available light.

Pictures were great, but did not do what I wanted. I was looking for something that would take continous pictures at sporting events. Could not do take continous they looked washed out plus every time you wanted to use this option you had to go into the menu and reset it. Sad for such a good picture taking camera.

Really good camera for the price. Wasn't expecting it to be great but it really is. Takes good pictures and is easy to use. A great starter camera for someone wanting to move on from point and shoot.

I read through all reviews but one stood out more and helped me decide to get this camera. I am glad I did! As soon as I got it, I put in the batteries and took pictures. At first they were blurry but after reading how to focus the camera, I tried again and the quality and color of the pics were excellent! The camera is easy to use and simple enough to figure out after reading the user manual (included on a cd). I was pleased to see that it also came with a lens cover and shoulder strap. It's small enough to comfortably hold in one hand and the features include red eye eliminator, a function for shaky hands, flash function and loads more. It also comes with 3 preloaded frames for cute snap shots and a sketch setting. This camera is great for the novice and advanced user. I will include a nice pic my daughter took with my camera.
