Review 1 of 3

Summary:

I'm using this camera for 1 week, it's really nice, zoom, flash,1024x768, rechargeable battery, and more. Really, the battery goes faster (only 2 batts per time), but if you can buy those new rechargeable batteries, with capacity of 1400 or 1600 mAh, you will love this camera... This is not a super camera, some photos may not be of your like, but if you don't want to spent much money, this is your next cheap camera.

Strengths:

Flash detacheable

Weaknesses:

out of date.

Review 2 of 3

Summary:

Really simple a normal battery lasts for 2 minutes, the special expensive batterys last for 5 minutes and the NiMH rechargables last for 15 sometimes. The picture quality sucks, in low light it cant even capture a picture, only blurs. It also takes forever to capture.

None

Review 3 of 3

Summary:

This is my third digital camera. Having "ironed" out what I like and dislike, the PV-DC1580 is the only camera that meets my needs. Small size, CF memory card, zoom, hi-res, etc. As much as I *love* this camera, I will be returning it for a refund this weekend. Why? Because the battery life is really short. How short? Less than five minutes continuous operation. This is with brand new super alkaline batteries. I exchanged my first 1580 because battery life was less than three minutes. I ran through about $23 worth of batteries in the past week. Kinda crazy huh? Hmmmm... Perhaps it's a bug that Panasonic will work out. If so, I'll re-buy it! In the maeantime, I'm gonna check out the Canon A5Z Zoom.
