Great little camera Had previously owned a Kodak V1003, but this camera is 3 times the camera that one was. Great pictures, easy editing, great software, both LCD and veiw finder, and small size. Would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a good little camera.
love this camera! I am very happy with the purchase of this camera. I got a good price for a brand new camera. It was delivered very fast. I am still learning how to use the camera better. There are a lot of different functions. So far it takes great pictures. It has amazing zoom.
Great camera! I wanted a camera that could capture pictures of my 2 year old son in action. Although its not quite as fast as I want it, its way better than the 2 year old sony camera that I was using. The image stabilizer really helps with my shaky hand and the face detection thing is pretty cool too. I'm totally a novice photographer, so I just wanted a basic camera that takes nice pictures...and this does the trick for me. The only minor issues I have with the camera are the numerous functions that its capable of. Being that I'm too lazy to read the manual, when I accidentally hit buttons that changes a setting, I'm usually at a lost as to how to fix it. The buttons are also a bit awkward, so for someone with big hands, this might be somewhat difficult to use. Overall, great camera for the price!
Another Canon winner This is my second Canon powershot and I purchased a new one for more MP and longer zoom. It's an easy camera to just pop in your purse/pocket and be able to take a picture at a moments notice. I would love to learn how to use an SLR, but don't want to haul a huge camera around with me. It's a trade off but have been happy with all the pictures I have taken on vacation, etc. My only complaint (as others have mentioned) is I don't care for the wheel in choosing scenes, etc. It's either too slow or too quick. That's about my only complaint with this great camera.
Great pictures Picture quality is great. Took a little time getting familiar with the various settings compared to my old point and shoot. The 5X optical telephoto is nice. Battery life is very good. Lots of features and still easily fits in my pocket. I use bought a 4 gig HC card for capacity and speed.
