4 out of 5 stars VERY PLEASED WITH THIS CHOICE SO FAR   May 17, 2008
I am very pleased with the camera so far. I plan to use it extensively on an upcoming trip to Europe. It does everything that I require. It does not have any internal memory. I quickly ran out of room on the sd card that came with it after 4 pictures. If it had a bit of internal memory it would have helped me to finish my project and go inside for a larger card.


4 out of 5 stars good for the price!   May 17, 2008
It's versatile, good zoom range, handier and smaller than I thought. Noise is pretty bad after 100 ISO but I'm pleasantly surprised by it's crispy images. Best in the Daylight. Great snapshot maker with quasi manual controls you can play with.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic camera for this tourist   May 17, 2008
I wanted a camera smaller than my "regular" camera for a recent trip to Europe. I found this camera to be fantastic for tourist shots. I'm a very active composer of shots, intensively using the zoom to frame shots. Because of this, I was a bit concerned about it only having two batteries and some comments about battery life in these amazon reviews. However, I found I was able to get about 350 pictures for each set of rechargeable batteries. I suspect this difference from other users is due to my infrequent use of the electronic image display for composing shots; I'm a viewfinder user. The only time I used the display was for closeups, when the viewfinder had parallax problems and didn't line up the image correctly. Otherwise, image quality was great and the 6x lens worked great for getting in close. (Macro quality was also excellent, for the other kind of getting in close.) My only complaint about the lens is that the wide angle is equivalent to about a 35 mm lens. For many tourist shots, a wider angle would be nice, say about 28 mm. But, I knew this going in and learned to live with it. The flash unit is small, but provided adequate flash outdoors up to about 8 feet, which is about all that can be expected. Closeups with the flash have a lens shadow in the lower right side of the image, so users need to compensate for this while shooting or when editing. The flash does take several seconds to recharge, but not much longer than other digitals I've used with four batteries. For the money, I feel I more than got my money's worth.


4 out of 5 stars For the wife   May 16, 2008
Perfect for a travel size or to drag around for a day. Easy to use and takes great shots. At a concert, when back from the stage is doesn't have enough zoom, but it's not trying to be a Nikon either. A good all around purse size camera.


5 out of 5 stars Better than expected   May 16, 2008
This is my first digital camera, but not my first Canon. I am till learning how to use it.
So far this camera has exceeded my expectations. The basic point and shoot is very simple to learn. Great pictures indoors without a flash.
I really am looking forward to learning and using all the great features.
