Easy Digital Camera which make a good giftJune 19, 2010 SDR(Milwaukee, USA) This Digital camera makes a perfect gift to anybody in your family especially elders. I gifted this to my mom and she loves the camera. She did not had to go through the entire manual to operate this camera. Ofcourse you need to have minimum common sense which I guess most of us have :). The other reason why I took this camera was that it operated using the cell battery which you can get it in any store all over the world. Since my mom was traveling I wanted to get her something to use which would not need a voltage converter etc etc. I did not want my mom to carry a converter so I looked in specific for a camera that would run on cell batteries as she can get it anywhere she wants. So now she doesn't have to carry the silly camera battery charger with her. SO all she had to do was pop in new batteries. The picture transfer was easy she did not had to go through a lot of hassle. The picture quality was good. The camera was very portable and you can carry around where ever you want to . Over all its a good camera and easy to use.
Cannon CameraJune 3, 2010 Amy(Phoenix AZ) I am very happy with this camera. It takes very nice pictures and is a perfect compact size. When taking pictures, there is a small delay between pictures but I knew this from research before buying.
Best Point and ShootMay 11, 2010 Kelsey 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have owned multiple cameras in the Canon Powershot series. I bought this camera almost two years ago and it is still fantastic camera. I have travelled all over the world with this camera and it inevitably takes better photos than any of my friends' point-and-shoot cameras. Although the automatic settings work well, I love its manual features and use them frequently to improve the shot. The manual settings are easy to use and show up on the LCD screen, so you do not need to be a professional to adjust the ISO, exposure, etc.
I have printed poster-size images by this camera and they look professional. I am often complimented on my posters and people are always surprised that I took the pictures using a point-and-shoot camera.
Best features:
AA batteries (a lifesaver when electricity is unavailable or you forgot to charge the batteries fully)
Optical viewfinder (great for poor lighting environments or to save battery life by turning the LCD off)
Manual settings
lens errorMay 9, 2010 Roy Boy(Palmetto, FL) I purchased this camera for my daughter. She loved the quality of pictures she got from it. However, in three weeks time she got the dreaded "lens error" message and the lens wouldn't completely retract. We sent it in for warranty service. After a week's wait was was back as good as new. Within a couple of weeks, it was back to a lens error status. Not wanting her to be without a camera again we went to a local Radio Shack and got her a Nikon Coolpix. It's OK but doesn't produce the quality of pictures she wants. This is our 4th canon and the first one we've had trouble with. I would like to buy her an ELPH but am not really trusting canon right now
