Summary: My 1st Digi Camera
Review: I rec'd this digi camera for X-mas and so far have been very happy with it. I'm an old school claims adjuster and very used to my Nikon 35mm camera that I have been using for 19 years. I can't believe all I need to do is take the mem card to Wal-Mart and have the pics processed in 15/20 minutes. NO more film, processing and having to wait for a day or two to return to PU the film. I did buy the 128K mem card ... and rechargeable battery ..., but I find these costs reasonable considering the films packs I used to buy and then the film processing costs and travel time to pick up the film. From what I hear battery life is not to great but again I have been lucky. Although I have 4 spare batteries in my camera bag; I'm still on the first set . My boss has an Olympus and he goes through a 10 pack in a day. The pics are great along with the photo detail (very sharp 4X6's).Good luck with your camera. I'm very happy with mine.

Summary: GREAT CAMERA
Review: I've purchased this camera on July 02. Pictures are just wonderful!!! Display is not intuitive ... but after a while features are easy...
Regular batteries last max. 2 minutes - I personally suggest rechargeable NIMH which last approx. 80/90 shots.

Summary: Absolute beginners, step right up!
Review: We got this camera as a Christmas gift so for the price WE paid it's great, but I would never have bought this camera! What good is paying $159 for a camera that is only half decent AFTER you pay $100 for 128mb card and $50 for a battery charger and 4 batteries? Sure, the camera takes fine pictures in good light with little or no digital zoom, so it's great for parties or close range, if that's what you need. I took the camera on a trip to Europe and was sooooo disappointed with the battery consumption. I was forced to buy batteries in all the most tourist-trap places, three times a day, for top dollar! Then, the enemic memory card it came with filled up in one day, so I had to buy a bigger card in an equally tourist-trap store. And yes, I bought a battery recharger on my trip as well. How much does my entry-level $159 camera cost now???? And just a word about digital zoom. NEVER use digital zoom if optical zoom in available, and NEVER buy a camera that has didn't bother including ANY optical zoom! Save up a little money and buy yourself a better camera.

Summary: Useless piece of crap
Review: Even with alkaline batteries you can only take 4 or 5 shots before the batteries die. Less if you play with the menus. Canon should send a check to everyone who bought this piece of crap.

Summary: Did I get a lemon?
Review: We got this camera for Christmas. Brought it to a trip oversea and it stopped taking pictures half way through the trip with an error code of E25. Brought the camera back to Circuit City and was told to send it back to Cannon for repair. Very disappointing and frustrating!
The pictures we managed to take did come out very well, but this camera consumes batteries like crazy, so expect to change batteries everyday!

Summary: It goes everywhere with me
Review: I am as happy as Larry with this camera. It takes terrific shots, fits in my pocket, so goes everywhere with me.
No excuses for having missed a fantastic shot wherever I go.
It's "Quickdraw McGraw" with the best gun in town!

Summary: Great price and such, bad battery life
Review: I originally bought this camera when it was hard to get during the summer of 2003 (just out on the market) for work. We sell magazine photo guides and take approx. 75-100 photos per day. The camera takes EXCELLENT pictures for the price. Problem is the battery life. The cameras that we use previously lasted 1-3 days with one set of batteries. This camera I have photographers changing out batteries 2-3 times A DAY. If you don't take pictures that often, this is great for you. If you use your digital camera often, research more. I've bought the A60 (despite peoples complaints about the E18 error message) and Nikons. Both have better battery life.

Summary: A must have!
Review: I am 14 years old and received this camera on the back and it is great. I bought a 128mb memory card to go along with it, the more the better. So far I have clearly noticed the really good parts about the camera...and the not so good parts.
I'll start off with the not so good parts-- 1) As with all digital cameras the batteries run out very quickly (and thats an understatement). Although I do not own any rechargable batteries, I would still recommend them. I litterally go through around 2-4 each day I use it. 2) A lot of buttons on the back. The buttons are very confusing when you first start fiddling around with the camera but once you look through the guide, you'll figure it out. 3) No optical zoom The good parts-- 1) The camera is small and can easily fit in a pocket. 2) With a nice size memory card you can store tons of pictures. With my 128 mb card I can store 77 on the highest quality but I don't even need to use the highest so I keep it on either the setting that allows 125 or 225. 3) The video mode is cool and can even record sound! 4) The digital zoom. Sure digital zoom can make pictures grany but if you put it in a high quality you can zoom without giving up too much. 5) It's a fun thing to have. 6) Great value! I know that I am probably forgetting things but all in all I have enjoyed this camera and would recommend it to everyone!

Summary: Worth the price.
Review: I bought this camera right after it was released in April 2003 and I'm happy with my purchase. For less than $200, this camera gives you a lot. I never use most of the features of the camera. If you like to play around with it, I guess you can create many neat effects on your photos or videos. This camera comes with a 16MB CF card but I recommend using a 256MB CF card (although this might be way too much for most people) so you won't have to worry about memory. Remember to format the CF card using the camera before using it for the first time to avoid problems. I have experienced lock-ups with this camera, but I suspect it has to do with my large capacity CF card. I figured that I can avoid this problem by formatting the card after every download to the computer. Data transfer between the camera and computer is fast. It uses 2AA batteries. USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES! The normal disposable batteries that were included in the package only lasted a few photos and some 2 minutes of video. As an amateur photographer I can say that the picture quality is great. My pictures come out clear and sharp, with correct and realistic colors, so I don't have any complaints. The video+sound quality is EXCELLENT. I use this camera with a 256MB CF Card, four AA rechargeable batteries (2 for use, 2 for spare) and a battery charger. I also have the carrying case for the Powershot for easier storage. I recommend visiting powershot.com for more technical details.
