"Unfortunately I end this review feeling a little let down by this tiny digital camera. There's so much to like, but those things are overshadowed by the problems. Battery life was, to put it bluntly, pathetic. Auto focus was good as long as you had good light and a contrasty subject, but on several occasions I shot out of focus images when I would have expected the camera to be able to lock. Start up time is slow ... up close most images look soft and lacking in detail. Lastly there's the price, with a street prices of $650 it's on the expensive side. All in all a camera that will appeal to the gadget buyer who's turned on by the camera's diminutive proportions, however, this photographer would have to give the Kyocera Finecam S3 a miss."
