5 out of 5 stars Excellent camera   November 17, 2008
I've been using this camera for about 9 months now, and I'm very happy with it. The battery life is great, the display is big, and it's packed full of great features. The only drawback is that it can take a few seconds for the flash to recharge, and the camera isn't the smallest one you can buy. But on the other hand, you have a lot of control over how your pictures are taken through various manual settings, the picture and movie quality is very good, zoom is decent, and the camera uses non-proprietary NiMH AA batteries.


3 out of 5 stars Crisp pictures   November 16, 2008
Takes good pictures. Not user friendly and not enought settings to what i like to use it for. Need to look into the manual better to figure it out. But it does take great pictures.


5 out of 5 stars Spiders beware!   November 7, 2008
This camera has turned me into a photographer. I take it with me everywhere and it's held up well. I shoot almost entirely on macro setting and have discovered an entire new world. The pictures are so clear that you can see individual hairs on the back of a half inch spider.
I was always frustrated by cameras (always point and shoots)that wouldn't focus as close as I wanted to get to a subject and now I'm not.



1 out of 5 stars Overpriced   November 1, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a $200 camera. ($199 MSRP according to the Canon website itself.) The $449 price tag on Amazon for this product is either or mistake or a complete ripoff. Even the $319 "sale" price is more than this product was ever or will ever be worth.

This would be a top choice camera for $200, with great quality and features for that value. But for $449 or even $319 you can get a much, much better camera.

This gets 1 star from me until Amazon reduces this atrocious price back down to the $200 range where it belongs.



4 out of 5 stars Excellent Budget Camera   October 25, 2008
I have been using this camera for awhile now and have to say that it has some of the best overall picture quality I have seen in a camera of its price range and cost.

Some strong points include:
-Amazing picture quality
-low cost
-easy operation
-extremely large array of advanced features and controls

The Negatives:
-Durability
-Battery life

I had to turn picture preview and anything that uses battery life off to get as many pictures as possible out of it. Gets between 80-150 pictures off of one set of batteries. Battery life aside, this is a great camera at a great price.
