Summary: Excellent Digital Camera!!
Review: This is the first digital camera that I bought and almost 2 years down the road I'm still extremely happy with it. I originally bought it with minimal research (all I knew at the time was that I was looking for at least 2MP & an optical zoom) and the strength of the Canon brand name. I wasn't disapointed....Furthermore, it's kindled an interest in digit photography and surprisingly, all of the extra controls and features I'm starting to learn - so I still haven't out grown this thing. The ZoomBrowser Ex software is fantastic as well. Prints lovely 4 x 6 photos on a Canon i860 photo printer, with the PhotoPaper Pro and Glossy paper. This camera made me a convert to Canon products, I don't think you can go wrong!! Probably will update fairly soon with another Canon camera.

Summary: Great till it died
Review: I was happy with this camera, till one day I turned it on and recieved the dreaded "E24" error message. This message appears and then the camera shuts off. The only solution is to send it to Canon and pay about as much to repair it as a replacement 2 mp camera would cost. My 2 month old Canon printer just died too, so I am reconsidering my loyalty to Canon products. Both products were barely used before they quit working. I don't normally recommend extended warranties, but it might be a good idea with this product, or better yet avoid it all together.

Summary: A-40 only lasts a year!
Review: This camera is relatively easy to use and takes good 5x7 sized shots, though it pixilates out when you get larger unless you change the res. Easy to download pictures and uses aa batteries so its easy to stay ready to shoot. I have owned this camera for 1 year and 2 months and the mode dial on the back "locked up". Could not switch any of the settings or even review pictures. Called Canon, after I went through all the tech support, email, and faq options on the website, and was told that it was out of warranty and I must send it to a factory repair site. Did. It costs $115 to just crack the case and look. Final cost could be more. That is one half of the cost of a new one. All for a camera that is barely a year old. This was my fourth Canon camera (plus 1 video) since switching from Sony but will be my last.

Summary: Very User Friendly
Review: Without wanting to spend a lot of money on a new digital camera, the Canon PowerShot A40 came highly recommended. Whether you're new a digital cameras or not, you don't need to have any experience using this camera. That's one of the reasons why I really like this camera. Crisp, clear images, lightweight, compact. Loads of features. Records short movies. 2 megapixels. What more could you ask for from a camera that's under $250.00

Summary: Passing grade...
Review: Pro: Right size and weight; Easy to use; good photo quality generally
Con: Optical viewfinder inconsistent with actual picture (1) it's considerably smaller (~80%) (2) they're not ajusted to the same center, this really bothers me (I checked with my friend's A40, same thing); Bad indoor/night pictures. Lately after one year of use, indoor pictures are always very hazy I haven't figures out why.

Summary: Takes great quality pictures!!!
Review: Although all the accessories for a digital camera add up to be a good amount of money (memory card, batteries, photo paper, good quality printer, or photot proccessing at the store), the quality of the pictures are worth it. Plus, you can hold a ton of pictures on the memory card and delete the ones you don't like. The camera is easy to use and simple to connect to your computer. When I print out the pictures the quality is so good I'm not sure if it's because of the printer (hpphotosmart 1215), camera, or most likely both. A great buy!

Summary: Amazingly good for a 2MP camera
Review: At first I was real hesitant, considering my husband bought this for me and he is clueless when it comes to photography. I am semi/pro and was not thrilled to receive a 2 megapixel camera as a gift. I have got to say that I have been pleasantly surprised. The 4x6 prints have turned out with wonderful color saturation and great image quality. Depending on the type of paper used I have seen some pixels in the skin tones but the amateur eye would not even notice. I like that it can be switched to manual mode. I don't like that it only offers 2 aperatures with each shutter speed. This camera also can use conversion lenses for wide angle and tele although I havent' tried them. On my next vacation this will be my camera of choice over my 35mm SLR's. I only hope I don't need tele although I may decide to purchase it. Overall I have been very happy with this camera. One day I hope to own a super mega-pixel for my photography business.

Summary: A Great Deal!
Review: This Canon Powershot is my first digital camera. I have always been a believer in the Canon camera, however, I was hesitant to move over to digital and held steadfastly to my old school Canon AE1. However, I must say that the change to digital has been an enjoyable one. This little digital camera is very versatile and easy to learn and use effectively to take great pictures. It has just enough functionality to not be cumbersome and the size is perfect for sightseeing or nature walks. I would suggest this product for anyone who is looking for a reasonably price camera that takes great pictures. The only downside I choose to mention is that the actual viewfinder on the camera can be a tad deceiving but the rest of the functionality is top notch.

Summary: perfect camera for snapshots, avoid low light though!
Review: Great camera for photographing people. Also great for photographing anything on a sunny day. Overcast days or incandescent lighting shots though can be a real challenge. They'll produce bad focusing and some rough pixelation almost every time unfortunately. Nevertheless, you can consider it a 'happy camera' for the types of lighting that it works best in.
