 Good value, some shortcomings September 26, 2008
I bought this camera at Christmas for my kids (12-year-old daughter likes to do "KidTV" videos with friends; 9-year-old son makes stop-motion and live videos of Lego etc. for YouTube). I got it partly because my Canon A95, which in all other respects I *love*, only does 30-second videos; and partly because I got tired of copying VHS-C tapes for them. :-) I picked this model for its combination of price and Canon quality. It has been very useful. Basic modes are very simple to use. The kids have not really explored many of the other options. Image quality is generally excellent. However, early on I did some testing and found that, in addition to the high noise at even low-ish light levels that others have reported, it has some trouble focusing when zoomed (*optical* zoom, not digital). Standing across the room and doing incremental zoom steps on some object, I found that the higher the zoom, the more blurred the image was - not always, but often. This should not happen. It is clearly a focusing issue, not a question of resolution. But the kids have not had any complaints. It appears to be just right for their level of use, and that's what I recommend it for.
Perfect Starter September 16, 2008
This was my first digital camera and some of my main concerns were durability and cost. I was getting ready to go to Australia for 4 months and didn't want to spend too much and chance losing or breaking an expensive camera. So far, one month into my travels, I am very pleased with my purchase. I have dropped the camera onto cement from about 2 feet and it shows no sign of trouble. I find the 5.0 MP plenty and I get good color and clarity. A viewfinder was a must for me, since I knew outdoor photos in the sun were going to be a large part of my collection. There are many times when the sun makes it impossible to see what you are shooting and having the optical viewfinder is great!
I haven't spent too much time experimenting with all the many features, and there are lots, but I have used the macro and taken some spectacular inches-away shots! I have also used the video feature which is fun.
I can't recall if the instructions say to use lithium batteries, but I went through 10 regular batteries before going to lithium and find it a must.
Overall, I love this little camera!
like the viewfinder August 20, 2008
This is actually a replacement for one that I dropped in a river. I liked it enough to get an identical one. It is an inexpensive camera useful for activities (like river kayaking) that expose it to damage. A lot of cameras are leaving off the viewfinder. I find that with it, I can compose pictures better, especially in bright light, saves on battery power and is ready sooner after powering up (which also saves on batteries). If it were more water resistant, it would get the extra star.
 Nice little Camera August 9, 2008
It takes decent photos and videos. It's easy to use and versatile. A good camera for the price!
very happy July 11, 2008
This camera is exactly what i needed for my intentions. to be able to take pictures of the dates that my girlfriend and i go on, for camping and fishing. it is very nice. if you are you are looking for better detail something that is high tech and look for a different camera. because this is just a common point and shoot and that is what i needed.
