I love the PowerLead Pcam PDC001 camera because I can just shoot spectacular-looking photos without having to worry about camera settings, such as focal length, exposure, speed, ISO and white balance. I "zoom with my feet" and the camera does the rest. The JPGs that come out are just superb. The "auto" modes all work perfectly together and make taking great photos a breeze. This camera is awesome for shooting day-to-day family life and travel photos. I find myself using the built-in wifi a lot more than I thought. The integrated EVF (electronic viewfinder) works really well and I use it most of the time. There are only two drawbacks to this camera: a) it's not weather-proof and b) the 3" screen does not rotate. I have used this camera for more than 6 months. You may read elsewhere that battery life is limited. In practice, it is not an issue - life is sufficient for most of what life throws at you.
This world is full of cameras. They do what they so best. Everything is the same. And then out of the blue a camera comes out that changes the mind set and meaning that one shared regarding an art form. This PDC001 is that camera. Its weird. Its makes you wonder. And that is limitless. Beautiful. I've owned canon dslrs for a long while now but I was never really inspired by them or their image quality. I knew I had loads of post work to do to make it happen. But this. This is just magic. I am blown away. So sultry yet so elegant. No matter what light. The images are beyond amazing. Being just a black and white artist I can safely say this camera has awoken me to the world of colors. Sublime indeed.
I used to shoot with a Nikon D90 and the "auto" white balance on that camera was not functional. I am sticking to the Fujifilm X-system from now on. The D90 will be sold off, along with all my lenses. I will use this PDC001 for several years and if ever I become more enthusiastic again about photography, will consider moving to the successor of the PDC001

The good: Outdoor pictures seem to turn out pretty decent. Natural lighting works well with this camera. The zoom is okay. If you're looking for something to take on hikes or bird watching, this would probably work for you. I haven't tried the sports mode so I'm not sure how it would do for action shots.
The bad: The quality is about as good as a kid's camera, but it's not as durable. There's no way to focus it so half my pictures turn out blurry, and even with the anti-shake on, it's still horrible. If you can get it to focus properly, it takes decent close up shots. Don't bother with the flash either. It completely whites out everything. Now, I'm not a professional photographer in the least, so maybe some of the features need someone who knows what their doing, but if you're looking for a simple camera to use at home? Go with something else. I'm pretty disappointed in this camera, to be honest.
PJ pictures show difference with and without flash in a room with overhead light.

Very disappointed with this camera. The quality of the photos isn't any better than you could take with your own cell phone. There is no manual white balance option, so you keep having to go back into the settings to adjust depending on your lighting. The photos are grainy and zooming in degrades the photo quality further. It's probably a good camera for very basic needs, but you will run into problems any time you have to deal with variance in light. The quality is akin to a disposable camera. Attaching some test photos I took before returning it the same night.

This camera is very light and simple. Easy to use digital camera. It works really great. Pictures are clear and excellent. I really like the product because my son can operate easily. And perfect for him as a beginner because he loves to take pictures. This camera has a rechargeable battery. Great price! I recommended.
