Is this camera intrinsically safe?

I am not an avid photographer. I am using the camera for outdoor shots mostly. I have had this camera for almost a year and have had no major problems from drops. I would avoid potential problems with it for rockclimbing for example. Otherwise, fine.

After slapping it a couple of times, it did give me a weird, vengeful look, but it has never hurt me or anyone in my family. I'd say it's totally safe.

May be but I wouldn't risk it. I recommend you something on the hi end for that camera.

I am unable to say, but I would say DO NOT Buy this Camera, the one I had worked twice and then would not work again even though the battery was fully charged, buy at your peril

Yes it is. Great camera. Just got ours in December and don't have any complaints.

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

It must be defective because mine works all of the time. Since I have had the camera I only had one incident. I unplugged the camera and restarted it and have never had another problem.

Not at all. We haven't had any problems with it. This little thing is responsible for helping my wife and I capture lots of great memories!

I am told by my experienced mentor that it is. I've only imaged with it once with the moon and had to turn the gain almost off so it didn't white out the screen. It was a lot more sensitive than my cell phone camera and my large digital camera that is not dslr. It is more sensitive tha. I imagined something I could afford would be. The customer service from High Point was so good they were willing to still take it back into the 2nd month if I could not get it to work because I tried ad tried with Linux and weather was very cold. Once I put Windows on my laptop it worked right away.

Sure, extra protection always helps. All by itself, it's very safe and secure. The camera will not fall off without you pushing the button while pulling it out.

Doubtful, it's rather old as it is, and quite unreliable under the best of circumstances. I kept the camera, but tossed the shattered, stomped on printer long ago, lol.

I prob wouldn't recommend it. There are cameras designed for outdoor use that are sealed properly from moisture and other potential damage.

Sure, when it runs out of power or storage space. It cannot really record for prolonged periods of time. It's a great camera for the money, weight, and space it barely takes up. It's great for an rc plane or wearing it on your cap. It is what it is. Mine died when I dunked it in the Hudson River by accident. Up to that point it's pretty indestructable.

No just make sure the plastic in front of the camera is clean and you should be good

You might, especially in low light conditions. As long as the light is good you should be alright. You can always look at the image you just took, and determine what adjustments need to be made. A bigger problem is stabilizing camera and lens to zero motion, since it's all manual there is no vibration reduction / stabilization.

I haven't had any issues that I know of. The nice thing is the camera doesn't really eat battery power anyway, but I always carry the extra one when I'm out. I don't pay attention to which one goes in, and I couldn't tell you a difference. My only suggestion is you ALWAYS take care of your batteries, and they'll last.

No problems at all with the camera! I have only taken my phone out twice since I bought it in decemeber

No. The security cable will not stop entrance to memory card or on/off etc., But there is another series of lock holes from body to the cover that you open, can put a small master, or combination lock to deter entrance. Just remember there isn't any material or plastic on this camera or any camera i've seen that can keep a dishonest person from stealing things. All this will deter most random persons from messing with your stuff. Enough said. Hope this helps
