5 out of 5 stars Very good Camera   September 4, 2008
Thomas H. Wolf (Capitan, NM.)
This is a very good Camera and not very hard to use. It could have a neck or hand strap for safty. Over all I am very happy. Thanks to all.

Not my first Canon. Liked my last PowerShot. Needed to upgrade to more mp, etc. Just as easy to use as my last one, but better pics.

I was a little disappointed with the first one I received as I took it on vacation and noticed that there must have been internal defect that left a line on all of the photos with light blue and tan in the backgound ?! ... however, Amazon was great at exchanging it. I have nothing, but good things to say about the replacement. Overall, it's great value for the money and it takes much better photos than my old Fuji which is why I still give it a 4 of 5 despite my negative impressions of the first one.

Slight delay, to be expected, between taking picture and recording image in camera. Otherwise quality of photographs are excellent.


4 out of 5 stars Good value   August 31, 2008

Nice camera for the price. I really don't have any negative comments; the camera performs pretty much as advertised. Like most users of lower end cameras, I probably won't ever use 75% of the features available but it seems like a pretty good general purpose camera.
