 Excellent buy December 30, 2009

I've now had this camera for over 3 years and it has proved to be an excellent purchase. So many of my friends have asked me what kind of camera I have because they are impressed with the quality of my photos, as well as the quality of the video it can produce. It's light and easy to carry around which is one of the main reasons I bought it, but also it's durable and consistently taking good quality pics and videos. I'm not very techie, so I like it's user friendly status!

I have owned this camera for several years now and love it. I would suggest to anyone who has battery life issues to get the AA Lithium batteries. They last a really long time. This camera takes the picture when you push the button - no lag time - no closed eyes or blur from people moving. The picture quality is great also. I've taken photos of hummingbirds, screech owls and dragonflies that turned out great. The only problem with this camera is the same with all cameras with an lcd screen - can't see anything when you are out in the sun. But this camera has a viewfinder unlike a lot of the P&S cameras on the market.
 Very nice camera, what's the deal with the price?? October 31, 2009

I got this camera from Circuit City a year before they folded for $260. They had the best price compared to all the online stores. I keep this camera with me all the time. It lives in my car on hot days, goes on motorcycle rides and dog shows. So far only one small scratch to the LCD display. Like many reviews, it goes thru batteries fast, so be sure to carry extras. I wanted a camera I could carry with me without slowing me down & this fits perfectly. This one is no longer in production according to Canon's website. The replacements are even better & cheaper. Wonder where the seller on Amazon came up with a $600 price??? Ouch!
My next camera will be another Canon.
 Decent pictures most of the time, very slow! August 20, 2009

This has become my backup camera since I am not happy with the performance.
It takes good pictures with flash, not as good without especially ones in motion.
Colors are sometimes off, too bright or look overexposed when the light isn't that bright to do this. My biggest complaint is that it is too slow loading the flash. Pictures without flash aren't good so I need to use flash, but that loads too slow between shots. Sometimes it's as long as a minute. I am using it to take pictures of sport and my 3 kids in constant motion :) I need to be able to take pictures fast before they all scatter. I think if it used different batteries they would load faster and last longer. On trips I was flying through batteries!
When I bought this camera, my mother in law came to visit with much cheaper camera. Her camera took much better photos, was really fast loading which made it super for taking pics of my kids. Most of her pictures of exact same setting were much better and without the flash. Colors were better too. So I decided to downgrade (upgrade in my opinion) and bought a used $100 camera, exact same one as my mother in law, and I have been really happy with that other one (not Canon).
I am keeping my Canon as a backup (maybe when kids are older they can have a nice toy).
Small enough with a good lens. April 3, 2009

I've had this camera for almost three years now and people always ask me if I have a special camera when they see the pictures. No, I don't. Well, not if they mean a big chunky SLR.
I got this camera because I wanted something that
took pretty pictures (I love the colors Canon cameras produce, especially those blue skies),
had a decent amount of zoom (I like to be discrete),
and a big enough lens.. I forget why.. maybe to minimize noise as I hate using flash? Probably.
Oh, and something where I could play with the ISO, especially for indoors. Goes up to 800, and goes down to 80. Love using 80 when it's a sunny day.. you get really good colors. And as I hate the way flash turns out on cameras in general, it's nice to have an 800 option.
Also, I love the toy features of Color Accent, coupled with the Manual, TV, and AV, Program, and Auto feature.. as well as the others but I don't use those as much. It's a good combination to have. People aren't lost when they use my camera, but I also have enough flexibility if I want to.
The Macro also lets you get a lot closer I think than the other digital cameras that are smaller with smaller lenses such as the SD line (which also seemed to have some LCD problems at the time.. not sure if those are resolved) , which I'm guessing is what people are choosing between.
Yet, it fits in my jacket pocket if I need it to and not to mention, fits my hand nicely.. not like those very clean rectangular digital cameras that you're always afraid of dropping.
I bought this camera for my brother as well after I got mine, as he liked my camera so much he kept using it.
You should use rechargeable AA batteries with this, and the AA size is really convenient also because sometimes you're traveling and you're lazy to bring your charger so you can just buy AA batteries wherever or borrow from someone else.
