I bought this camera early last summer and have used it extensively. I have not noticed any distortion of "people" pictures, as long as you honor the "close foocusing" distance. I have taken some really nice pictures with this camera and probably use it 80% for family pictures, and 20% for landscapes, when I don't want to carry my Canon 5D. Hope this helps.

It is a really good camera for taking shots like those. I mean it isnt a professional camera so dont expect professional pictures but it takes very clear and amazing pictures. You have to buy your own SD card though:)

HORRIBLE! I have taken about 300 pics of elementary school basketball....90 % of them are blurry, or too bright. I tried every setting?? So far I am very frustrated with this camera! There is supposed to be image stabilization? Also, the only "motion" or "action" setting I see is the pet setting?? I am sure part of the problem is that I am a total amateur photographer, my point is this is not an easy camera to use.

Sorry but I am not happy with this camera. I had one before like it that was great so I purchased the same one again after mine went kaput but unfortunately it doesn't take that great of pictures. Ourside are better than inside.

I'll be honest, I don't recommend this camera. You could find a canon for similar price, better quality. This camera is outdated.

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

I bought the Canon A1400 for my grandson. He loves to take pictures with it and we have not noticed any problem with blurry pictures. Occasionallythe videos are blurry but I think that because he swings the camera back and forth too fast.

They can be blurry, but there is a setting for that (I forget the name, either party or candlelight) under "Scene". It won't be good for catching a romping toddler, but posed photos are fine. Alternatively, I took a photo in complete darkness using the flash covered in white paper (specifically a straw wrapper taped over the flash) to diffuse it, and took BEAUTIFUL photos of people. Flash speeds up the shutter speed.

Negative! However, it is still an awesome camera -- I use it a lot and love it!

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

My daughter wants to take pictures of others as well as "selfies". You can't take pictures of other people with this device - only pictures of yourself or "face timing". Hope that helps!

Hi, I bought this camera for my mom. She loves it...said it is a very versatile. My brother is a professional photographer. He loves the camera and even though he has 3000 dollar cameras thought this would be a great everyday camera. He was impressed with all the features it has for such a compact camera. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

yeah, it's not a great camera to begin with and it's probably breathed it's last breath. My camera has always been blurry and I've been disappointed with it. It's dead

That's the big problem with this camera, there's no image stabilization... Not even for non moving subjects... I have te same issue...I'm very disappointed with this camera and the money I spent on it.

I love this little camera! I'm still learning how to use it. I find that best picture quality is 5M Fine. Last night I took pictures at a party using the Best shot Party option and the pictures came out great. Play with the Best shot options then override them.

I apologize for taking so long to respond to this - it got lost in my Inbox. Yes, I would highly recommend this as a great beginner camera. Spend a bit of time and study the manual and practice with the different settings, and you will be amazed at the pictures you take!

buy a canon. This camera is not a point and shoot. Its also terrible for shooting kids!!!
