Summary: This is one cute camera.
Review: I bought this camera after owning a HP C200 for a couple of years. The most noticable difference is the ability to zoom (optically, rather than digitally) on the subject. This camera takes great pics and has a good battery life. It came with a substantial owners guide; however the camera is really easy to learn. It's also good looking and built solid. My only gripe is not being able to view the pics on a TV, as with the HP. If you need this feature, you can buy the A20 for a little more cost. One suggestion: Buy a memory card reader for $20 to go with the camera. You can have immediate access to your pics, without the delay of uploading them.

Summary: Excellent camera for the price!
Review: I bought this camera for my daughter as a Christmas present. I now steal it from her whenever I can, because it's a joy to use. The photo quality is far higher than I expected, and the controls are simple and generally well thought out. My only compaint is that the viewfinder isn't 100% aligned with the actual photo - but this problem appears to be shared with most (or all) similarly priced digital cameras. All in all, the A10 represents great value and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Get this camera!!
Review: I did a lot of searching on the internet at all types of digicams and reviews just like this one. This camera didn't have a single bad review from any websites that I could find. And I wrote down every feature a digicam can have and checked off features for every camera I looked at. This camera had the most features, the best reviews, and a great price tag. I now own the camera and only after a few days, I've realized I made the perfect choice because it offers so much and is so easy to use. I think every digicam out there should have the dial on it because it makes it so easy to sue...and a lot of cameras do have this feature. The quality of the pictures is all I was worried about because its only 1.3 megapixels...well, I'm VERY impressed with the image quality!!! all my shots are very clear and crisp. As for anything negative, only that the batteries seem to run out fast, but I think it may just be the batteries because I got some cheapy rechargeables that came with my camera carrying case. Also, I recomend getting a 32 or 64 MB card with the camera becuase the 8MB gets you about 20-25 pictures on high resolution.
This camera is a must get camera in the price range its in, I seriously doubt any other camera can compare to this one in the price range around (dollar amount).
One last comment, I can't believe how easy the camera AND software are to use....the software does almost everything by itself and the camera is so easy to use that it makes taking pictures perfectly so much fun!!

Summary: PowerShot A10
Review: I found the camera very easy to operate, it takes very good quality of photos. I found the booklet and software that came along with the camera to be very helpful and easy to understand. A particular asset to this camera is the autoshot down mode. This is an absolutely good buy.

Summary: Excellent Starter Digital Camera
Review: I have a few requests for any techie product: keep it simple; room for growth; and don't lose the cool factor. This camera is VERY easy to use, has plenty of extras (underwater case, add-on zoom lenses), and is as cool as they get. It has plenty of easy to use options, and the pictures look great! You won't be disappointed!!

One downside: it guzzles batteries. So you may want to invest in some rechargable batteries.

Summary: Perfect for my purposes
Review: I have been using this camera for about 5 months now and I love it. The picture quality is great, I have printed out pictures and they look just like ones from a 35mm camera. The only draw back for this camera is if you want prints over 4X6. It only has 1.3MP which limits picture size to only the 4X6, but the quality of those prints is great. If you are looking for a digital camera that gets great quality photos for posting on the net or sending to friends via email and want to print out a few of you favorites at the 4X6 size, then I recommend this camera highly. Another great feature is that it has 3x optical zoom which is not included on most cameras in this price range. Digital zoom is a complete waste(as it is on every digital camera, but the optical zoom is really great. You will be more pleased with a digital camera which has 3x optical zoom instead of 2.1MP for this price. Hope this helped.

Summary: Excellent Camera at a great price
Review: I have owned an Agfa and a Vivitar digital camera and now the Canon A10. This camera takes unbelievable perfect, clear, sharp, accurate pictures. They look like they were taken from a regular camera. There are a lot of features that allow you to customize your pictures - like a manual camera or there is a completely automatic setting to let the camera do all the work for you. The automatic setting does a great job!! I am so pleased with this camera. I know people who have paid 2 to 3 times what I did for a camera and theirs doesn't take as good of a picture as the Canon A10. A definate reccomendation to buy!!

Summary: Good features for the price
Review: I love the features of this camera, which include photo-stitching
and 3x Optical zoom. My only complaints are flash is a little weak especially in dark places or clubs, which is where I take most of my pictures, and color is not great...I have to do some tweaking and adjusting using photo editting program to achive best results. Duracel Ultra has worked the best for me I've been able to snap close to 1000 pictures on one set of batteries, as long as you dont use the display too much. Other batteries are a waste of time time and money, they drain in a flash. Some of the top Energizer batteries I'm sure will do fine also.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely love this!!!
Review: I love this! This is my first digital camera. I went with the Canon because I currently have an ELPH by Canon and just love it. I did a lot of shopping and reading reviews and finally decided on this one. I did take the advice of other reviewers and purchased a 123MB disk and a disk reader as well. I also purchased rechargable batteries with a charger. I am not afraid to take a ton of pictures knowing the batteries won't drain for a long time. I always use the LCD screen. My first time with the batteries allowed me to take pictures for 3 days on just fun things. All of these extras make downloading the pictures a snap. I can't believe how great the pictures are!! The camera is so easy to use and light. I have enjoyed it so much!!!! I hope you purchase this one. You will love it too!!!
