probably pick up a spare. I charged the battery every
night, and in the future I'm planning to have two
batteries. I have learned that quick charges don't last
long and the charge needed to be a full over-night charge
or else the battery life really suffered, and a low battery
slows down function response times.
I loved the design of the GE G1, it's small and fits easily
in a pocket or purse, and the controls were easy to use,
and having the zoom at the top was great. The feel was
solid and controls were well placed, and I found that the
ability to quickly turn off or change flash settings was
really important, especially since I was photographing in
museums quite a bit where you aren't allowed to use a
flash.
When I returned and made prints from the images, the
quality was superb. At Harris' advice I always shot at the
highest quality setting, so I was able to crop without any
problems. The images really showed the strength of
working with natural light, with a wide-range of tones and
values captured accurately. The zoom was also very
sharp, and in one image taken in Amsterdam, I was able
to zoom in on a window washer, perched three stories up
on a ladder, and make a great photo. Some of my best
images were taken at night, or at sunset, with the
camera beautifully capturing the tones and subtleties of
light as the sun was setting, with all the delicate
overtones of the changing sky.
I'm very excited to have discovered the GE G1 digital
camera, and look forward to learning all its various
capabilities at home and abroad! This camera made me a
believer in digital photography.
