Kyocera Finecam L3V review

Kyocera Finecam L3V

Big 2.5-inch LCD; clear menu system with large type and pictographs; solid macro results.

Average image quality; slow flash recycle; limited exposure settings; no continuous-shooting mode.

In LCD size, this snapshot camera has few competitors, but we had hoped for better image quality for the price.

Kyocera Finecam L3V Digital Camera Camera

WHAT'S HOT: A luxuriously large LCD display (2.5 inches diagonally across) easily qualifies as the Finecam L3V's best feature. Toshiba's PDR-M700 has an LCD of the same size, but the L3V's body--about the size of a computer mouse--is much smaller than...

You can choose from a few long-shutter settings (2, 4, or 8 seconds), but that's the extent of the L3V's shutter-priority options. You can take movies of up to 30 seconds using 320 by 240 resolution, or up to 120 seconds using 160 by 120 resolution;...

Kyocera Finecam L3v Camera Review - PCWorld

For people who are tired of peering at the tiny LCD displays on other cameras, the Finecam L3V is one of the few alternatives, and it's relatively small. But aside from that, it's not a standout model.

Expert Review

The KyoceraFinecam L3v ($349 street price) may look like an ordinary3.2 Megapixel digital camera from the front, but when you lookat the back,you'll see the "big" difference: a large 2.5" LCDdisplay. With many manufacturers shrinking their LCDs downto...

Good photo quality, Large 2.5" LCD display (but low resolution), Some manual controls, Good redeye test performance, Nicely designed body

Some jaggies, softness in images, LCD resolution and viewing angle not great, Limited "zoom and scroll" feature in playback mode, Movie mode looking a little outdated, Shutter speed, aperture, focus controls too limited, No AF illuminator or video out...

Kyocera Finecam is an Excellent Digital Camera with Large View Screen

Looking forward to a new baby really got us in the camera buying mood. We wanted a better quality digital camera than the one we already had, so we would have great snapshots of all our baby's "firsts" when he or she arrives in a few months. This is a ...

Pocket size digital camera with large 2.5" LCD screen that is user friendly

Camera doesn't have large zoom ability and has a slow shutter speed
