| babyhoo78's Full Review: Gateway DC-M50 Digital Camera |
My husband and I purchased this camera thinking that we were getting a deal. However, all we got was a cheap camera that didn't do anything we bought it for. The speed of this camera is so slow taking it to sporting events is worthless. By the time it comes on and focuses itself, if it ever does, the events are long over. We used this camera to take pictures of people with our newborn baby at the hospital and half the pictures came out blurred because of the effort it takes this camera to automatically focus, those are moments that can't be repeated for a better picture. I called Gateway to tell them about the problems I was having and the only advise they had for me was that its not a good camera for photographing sports events and it doesn't function well in low light situations, those are the majority of the times I take pictures. Basically they told me my camera doesn't take good pictures in any situation.We are very disappointed in this camera and Gateway will not return it after 15 days. Now we are eating the money we spent and looking for a new camera, not from Gateway.
