Summary: slow lens; good pics
Review: I picked up one of these before a recent rip to Paris. The pictures were surprisingly good for a point and shoot.

Summary: This is one AWESOME Camera!
Review: I purchased the Z155 at Target last year and have used it to take literally hundreds of photos. Though I'm only an amateur photographer, I've actually gotten numerous compliments on the photos this camera takes; in fact, one of my photos was featured on the front page of the local paper because the editors liked it so much. As for the guy who wrote a review who said that he went to the Smoky Mountains and all of his pictures came out grey, well--I LIVE in the Smoky Mountains, and I can tell you--they don't call 'em the Smokies for nothin'. It wasn't your camera. I take pictures of the Smokies, too, and mine turn out great with this camera. The ZOOM is the best I've ever seen, and this camera even takes great action shots. I once used it to take pictures of the scenery while I was riding in a moving vehicle, and they turned out perfectly--not blurry at all. You just have to read the owner's manual and learn what the buttons on the back are for. Then, simply point and click. That's why they call it a Sure Shot. It's great for amateurs like me. My sister even called me to ask what the model number was so that she could ask for one for herself for Christmas.

Summary: complicated
Review: I purchased this camera to take on a Disney vacation. I decided to use it before the trip to make sure I would be pleased with it. It is complicated to use, even after reading instruction manual. Focusing & centering objects are no easy task; neither is exchanging it for another. Definitly NOT what I had in mind; I wanted a Sure Shot.

Summary: not so happy....
Review: i was using a canon sure shot 85 zoom for about 4 years and decided i wanted to "move up" to something newer and "better". i was sadly disappointed with this canon z155 camera. the 85 takes better or equally good pictures as the z155! the zoom is longer BUT the quality greatly diminishes when using that long zoom so basicly it defeats the purpose in my opinion... clear pictures are important to me! and especially if im going to pay $... for a point and shoot camera it especially better take goooooood pictures ya know? well, the close up pictures taken with little zoom came out nice and clear- as wil most any camera... but as i mentioned earlier when the zoom was used most of the way the quality was sad... the night shot mode was nice but that is included in a lot of cameras these days... i took a picture of a dollhouse lit only by a night light and the picture came out clear and lit. there were glares on my daughters eyes and other little things that all but ruin a good picture :( basicly i would NOT recommend this camera..(especially for as much as it costs!) if you really want more than about 80 mm zoom i would recommend going SLR. maybe canon will come out with abetter long zoom soon.. ...

Summary: Blurry Pictures!!!
Review: I was very disappointed when I got my film developed from the Canon Z155!! I went to a concert, took 5 rolls of film, and only like 24 pics came out halfway decent...ALL of the zoomed pictures came out blurry, no matter what setting I tried or what speed of film!! I even had front row, and most didn't come out!! Very Very disappointed... I would not recommend this camera if you want zoomed photos! Even the outdoor zoomed pics were not top quality!!

Summary: What a Disappointment!!!
Review: I wish I'd read the reviews on Amazon before I purchased this piece of junk. I've had it two weeks and taken five rolls of film in hopes that I just wasn't used to the camera yet. I came to the conclusion that a professional photographer couldn't get decent pictures with this camera. I've tried different speeds of film, different settings, lighting, etc., and the only shots that have been good are those in which the subject and everything around it is absolutely still. Not a good thing when taking photos at a ball game! I can get clearer photos from a throw-away. Canon should be ashamed to put their name on it. I'm returning it to Wal-Mart and trying the Pentax IQZoom that has better reviews. If that one doesn't suit me I may be using disposables the rest of my life.

Summary: Loud and Slow
Review: Man, I can't believe how slow this camera is to take the next shot! It takes almost 6 seconds 'til I can take another picture. And the zooming is so loud. And it's not a pretty sound either!

Summary: Very Disappointed!
Review: This camera has been a nightmare from day one. I'm pretty sure I received a lemon, but in two attempts to repair it, the manufactuer has been unsuccessful. I feel the camera should have been replaced, but my warranty is now up and I am stuck with a camera that does not take sharp photos - often without focusing on anything in the picture. The sports setting is also useless, as any shot with slight movement comes out very blurry. I, personally, would not recommend this camera.

Summary: Great Pictures For Any Skill Level
Review: This camera is an excellent buy. It may cost a little more than other cameras, but it is worth the investment. It offers a variety of advanced features which you may or may not use immediatley, but it is also simple enough for the beginning photographer to use for that occasional snap shot. We recently bought a puppy, and were upset to find that our old camera was broken. We bought this camera, and I can honestly say that I am glad my old one broke. I was amazed at the quality of the pictures that this camera produces. I turned the dial to "close up" mode and took a picture of my puppy's face. The detail is so amazing. You can actually see individual hairs. It was so simple. The only hard part was getting the dog to sit still! This camera is worth the money. How often do you buy a camera? Splurge! You earned it! You will not be dissapointed.

Summary: Major Disappointment
Review: This camera is completely inconsistent. I took multiple pictures of shorelines and things like that while standing in the same spot, and each of the pictures that I took came out differently, but they were all taken from the same spot with the same lighting conditions and such. Also, I took all of my pictures in beautiful tropical weather and they all came out looking like it was dark and gloomy, and I was just using the automatic setting. It did terrible in low lighting situations as well. I realize that automatic cameras are not the best idea for truly amazing photos, but if you're looking for a camera that works well in different situations, this is not it. You know, I actually thought to myself that maybe I was doing something wrong, but I've taken 4 years of photo and I've been taking pictures with various cameras (automatic & manual) for as long as I can remember and I have never had a camera that provided me with so much inconsistency (except for maybe a Pentax I used to have). I definitely do not recommend this camera as a good automatic one. I think a disposable camera would provide you with better results. It does have some cool features on it, but the picture quality is lacking in return. I returned it and got a Minolta 160 instead and I'm still waiting to get my first roll of film back. Let's hope I have a better review for that camera when I do!
