2008 Digicam
For the last week or so, I’ve been feeling a desire to take some photos. I’ve just bought a second-hand Fujifilm Finepix S4800 (review coming), but knew I had a couple of old cameras (digicams) knocking about the house. My daughter found the one this post is about at the weekend. This little fella hasn’t seen daylight for about five years, I suspect. No charger could be found but it turned out an old PSP charger works fine.
As there is very little information on the internet about this, I thought I’d upload a few photos (and a link to my Flickr album at the bottom of the page) and some comments. Specs are listed in the Digital Camera Database link at the bottom.

Comments
The first thing I must praise this little camera for is that the battery still works! I charged it for about two hours and have taken quite a few photos, and it’s still going (1 bar left of 3).
This camera is a point-and-shoot type affair. There are different presets for white balance, sharpness, saturation (see above), a macro mode. You can also adjust the WB using the D-pad which is nice.
I’ll probably update this post in a week or so, after I’ve taken some daylight shots. Or, add a part 2 post if this little Sanyo deserves it…
Conclusion
Not made up my mind yet. It’s very compact which is a plus, pretty fast to turn on, but, it quite often struggles to focus. That might be me though!
