Summary: Canon has out-done themselves...
Review: A camera worth a thousand words. In the past, i have owned two digital cameras; a Fuji 2600 and a Kodak DX4330. The Canon A75 has far surpasses both of these cameras COMBINED. The camera is very easy to use, and the image quality is GREAT. It comes with a 32mb card which can hold 50+ pictures at the highest quality, and over 300 pictures in the absolute lowest. Then there are several size and quality intervals giving varing numbers of pictures. Not only are the pictures great but the batteries last FOREVER!! I purchases a set of Monster Power cells (NIMH batteries 2100mah), and put them in my camera. I then took my camera with me on a trip to new york, and they lasted from 5 AM all the way to 11:30 at night with the LCD and Redeye Flash on for every picture. Even at 11:30 when i got home again, the camera was still going strong. The best part is, that i NEVER had to change the batteries once the entire time. I got over 125 pictures, plus the added minutes of scrolling through the pictures. At first, i was sceptical that a camera with a 1.8" LCD and powerful flash could last this long but I took a chance, based on Canon's reputation. And a great payoff it was. The Canon A75 is a terrific camera, and I would recomend it to anyone who is in the market for a digital camera.

Summary: Great Camera - Highly Recommend It
Review: Awesome Camera!!! I had researched for weeks trying to figure out which camera to go with and each one had little "problems" or "quarks" with them so I finally decided to go talk to a salesman and actually see the cameras. Found a great salesman (non-commission) who first asked me what I was going to take pictures of mostly and then took the time to explain the different cameras and features. I went with the Canon A75 (which was not on my list when I walked into the store) and I have had it for about a month now. We have a 10-month old son and we just got back from vacation and I just have to say this camera is AWESOME!!! I did purchase the 256 mb card and the Canon Powershot Package (with battery charger, set of rechargeable batteries and case). Highly recommend these items. For ease of transfer to computer, I bought a card reader (like $16) and it is so simple. You just pop the card out of the camera, into the reader and your "album" opens up. Download and erase all in one shot and ready to go again. Battery life is great; having the digital video with sound is also a very nice feature and I had a couple of prints done at the local store and crystal clear pictures. Looks even better than my old point and shoot 35mm. Guess I am heading next to e-bay to try to sell those. No more film developing and "wasted" pictures for me! Happy shooting!!

Summary: A75 Seasonal Review
Review: Best $ I've spent on a Digi-Camera. Outdoor pics are incredible, colors are 98% as accurate as my expensive 35mm lens Cameras. Motion pics are not blurry, still pics are crisp, indoor pics tent to be a little dark for subjects around the focused item but much better than other digitals out there. The zoom and activation responce times are fast, ease of use is great. Digital 10x zoom is crisp and comes out as good as 3x Optical when on print. Upload times are fast, software which comes with it is easy to use. 4AA Batteries last about 200+ shots on the 1200 x 1600 high res mode (4x6 print mode), including playback view time and all the zooming in/out time. Overall I am very happy with this Camera!

Summary: Great Buy
Review: First digi cam and I love it. Picture quality is top notch and delay between pictures is bearable. Lots of extra features for the advanced users as well. Be sure to get your rechargeable batteries and bigger CF card though. Would recommend for the beginner and advanced user.

Summary: I didn't take the warnings...
Review: Got this camera for Christmas. I loved it, the quality of pictures was way better than my old Sony Cybershot. It's been less than a month and it got the infamous E18 error. I didn't have a clue what it was...I thought I accidently swung it into a wall or something...Apparently not... I went to Wal-Mart photo center...The guy knew right away what it was and gave me the number to call. I sent it in today for fixing. I have the warranty...So hopefully all I have to pay is that 3 bucks for shipping.

I also heard though that even though they fix it under warranty...The problem still has a good chance of coming back. *sigh*...200 bucks down the drain (possibly)...I'm back to using my Sony camera...I've had it for a year...And hey the pictures aren't awesome but at least it still freaking works.

Summary: Great great buy
Review: I am a beginner in digital photography. Plus I had never bought a camera online before- after doing extensive research I finally decided to buy the PowerShot- and have not regretted it. All I did was follow the super easy instructions. Nothing to it-just follow the instructions and you will have no problems. You will not regret it.

Summary: Awesome features can't make up for poor image quality
Review: I bought this camera a week ago and am returning it tomorrow. It is packed with great features that most cameras in this price range do not offer. The camera was fun and easy to use. It was extremely easy to switch between scene settings and to change the white balance, photo effects, and other settings. The VGA video mode was outstanding, as was the ability to accept wide angle and telephoto lenses.

Unfortunately, the image quality on the unit I received is worse than my 2 year old 2 megapixel Fuji 2600. The images are not very sharp and seem slightly out of focus and noisy. What bothers me the most is that there have been numerous complaints on the internet concerning the less that stellar image quality of the A70 (the A75 is the replacement to the A70). I would have thought that Canon would take steps to correct the design issues with the A70 but they apparently didn't see the need. My other 2 complaints with the camera I received are that the LCD flickers and occasionally displays vertical purple lines (problems reported about the A70) and the amount of noise the zoom and auto-focus make (another common A70 complaint). Lastly, the 9 point AiAf is pretty much worthless. It seldom locked onto the subject I wanted to photograph.

In conclusion, this would have been a great camera to own if Canon had taken the steps to correct the design flaws of the A70. They didn't, and I will be buying a Kodak.

Summary: Great lil cam!! :)
Review: I bought this camera online from Target about 2 months ago and I love it! It has many differant features that make it great to work with. There are a few drawbacks but they are minor... It takes regular AA batteries and can suck the life out of those quite fast, so I would reccomend you buy rechargeables for this bad boy; The auto focus isn't that great so sometimes you end up with a blurry picture. Also when you take video in dim light it shows up kind of dark since there is no light on the camera... But it is an otherwise great camera. This is the first Digital camera I have purchased for myself, I have used many I just didn't own one... LoL It has been wonderful for catching all the special moments I have with my son. Two thumbs WAY WAY up!! :)

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: I got my Canon A75 for Christmas and LOVE it. It's very easy to use, attractive, small, and takes great pictures. It's a great value, but I'd reccomend buying a bigger memory card with it!

Summary: Super Camera
Review: I got this camera for Christmas and am totally thrilled with it. It takes supurb picutres, has the ability to do manual settings and it really tough. One of my kids knocked it from the top of an old upright piano and it bounced off the leg of the piano and hit the floor. Nothing wrong at all, it just kept on working. I would recommmend the A75, A85, or A95 to anyone!
