the canon powershot was great when i first used it. it took really good pictures. However, when the battery ran out and i changed them it would not work properly anymore. It would take about two pictures and then shut off. It would say change batteries. Even when I changed the batteries it still would stay on for just a moment then shut off. I had to return it.


5 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD CAMERA   June 24, 2008

very good pruduct, nice image quality, though it makes a little bit of a noise when you try to zoom in or zoom out, as long as the pictures are good I don't care.


4 out of 5 stars Great for the price!!   June 15, 2008

I was hesitant about crossing over from Fuji to Canon but when I came across this camera on sale for such a great price I just could not pass it up. I would have to say that it is probably not the best Canon out there but you would be hard pressed to find a digital for this price that takes great point and shoot pictures. For the price you just can't beat it. I use the Sony rechargeable batteries and they work wonderful with this camera. I uploaded a few scenery pictures to show the quality.
