Great User Friendly Camera This is a great camera and very easy to use. It is definately user friendly. I also love the color.
Very practical Although I bought the camera as a gift, I used it briefly and it seemed very easy to use. In the short period that I "played" with it I took great pictures, downloaded them to my desktop computer, and in a matter of seconds printed some great 8x10 pictures. I also took some quick videos, easily connected the camera to the television, and viewed the videos on my big screen. In short, the Canon PowerShot has many features that make it a great little camera.
It broke. This camera takes good pictures, has a decent interface, and looks nice. But there's one major problem. After nearly a month of use, the camera turns on, reads "Lens Error", and the lens will not retract when turned off. Apparently this is an ongoing problem, it makes the camera completely unusable, and Canon does not admit that it's a problem. I have yet to try returning it. Wish me luck.
Great Point & Shoot Camera This camera is a great point and shoot camera. It is small, compact yet solid. It takes great pictures with little effort and allows immediate feed back on each picture. It has very little delay in the first shot or subsequent shots which was a significant issue with our first digital camera.
