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
