Summary:
Great little camera that took great pictures. Ours worked 2 mos.

Strengths:
Great pictures. Lightweight. Easy to use.

Weaknesses:
Canon service.

Similar Products Used:
Olympus and Polaroid digitals with never any problems.

Customer Service:
After 2 months with camera in mint condition, suddently the lens cover wouldn't open; it only opened part way. Sent to Canon for warranty repair and they wanted to charge $93 to fix, saying the lens ring was dented and wasn't covered under warranty. It wasn't dented when it was sent in (wrapped extremely carefully). Amazingly, when I asked Canon to return it unrepaired, it came back to me with a very visible dent in the lens ring. No scratches, dings or dents anywhere else on the camera.

Don't trust Canon. I guess that's how they get out of doing warranty repairs.

Summary:
I bought this camera a little while back, ive used the heck out of it, my last camera the motor for the lens wore out, this one ive taken well into 50K pictures and im seeing little to no signs of wear anywhere. Although its not an SLR if your one of them manual mode people its pretty good and with an ios of 800 its pretty good.

Price Paid:  $163.00 from ButterflyPhoto

Summary:
This is a 6.0 megapixel, 4x optical zoom point and shoot digital camera. It's my second digital camera. My next camera will probably be an SLR, because honestly I don't know what features I'd want in a point and shoot that I don't find in this camera.

Strengths:
The pictures are of a very high quality, and the 4x zoom helps you get that long distance shot. Also, you can attatch other lenses on it with a cheap adapter, including Canon telephoto, wide angle and macro lenses, as well any other 52mm lense. There are many shooting modes, ranging from the all important manual arpeture and exposure settings to a special settings, like "fireworks," or "foliage."

Weaknesses:
If you're looking for an SLR quality camera this is not for you. While it is a very good point and shoot, it is still a point and shoot. The battery life using normal AAs isn't very good, although this is true for most cameras. NiMH rechargeables help this greatly. The 4x zoom may not be enough for everyone, even with telephoto lenses.

Price Paid:  $222.00 from Buydig.com

Summary:
I like this camera. Most important, it takes the picture immediately when you press the "shutter release" It also has very fast start-up in letting you take the first picture. I like the optical viewfinder-- I can crop the photo the way I want after its in my computer. I like the use of AA batteries. And the camera is easily pocketable.

On the negative side, the manual is very poorly written and very unclear. And why does the camera need a ready light? When its "time" is up it retracts the lens and turns off. So what does the ready light do??

Strengths:
Start-up Speed, fast response when taking a photo , batteries, viewfinder.

Weaknesses:
Manual is very poorly written and hard to understand.
