Kyocera Finecam L4v digital camera has all the basic characteristics of a modern day digital camera, quality lens, user friendly auto mode, good supporting software and megapixels that give you professional quality looking images. However the major concern I have with the Kyocera Finefilm digital camera has to do with the battery life. After trailing the camera on various occasions I found that the battery life came to be around 1hr and 10 min under continual usage. Its disappointing to have a digital camera perform so well in all other areas just to be let down by a poor battery performance. I would suggest to the people at kyocera to work on this issue for future ranges in order to compete with the big dogs of the digital camera industry.
