Very NiceJanuary 9, 2009 I recieved my powershot on the 6th of Jan. Since then I have Taken over 400 shots with it to get to know the camera better. This this is great for the price. It has alot of features that the bigger more costly models have. I think the problem people are having is the lack of reading the manual.
Son Loves ItJanuary 9, 2009 I bought this for my 17 year old son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. This is his first camera although he has used my wife's, which is also a Canon. What else can I say. If it works for my son it works for me.
Great Product, Great ServiceJanuary 9, 2009 This camera is very easy to use. I picked it because it was a little bigger than the slim cameras which are easy to drop.
Great CameraJanuary 9, 2009 easy to use and understand, software is good. comfortable to hold, view and shoot. more options than standard cameras of this price range love it
point and shoot for grandmaJanuary 8, 2009 We have another model and bought this as a gift for my 80 year old mother who had expressed an interest in a digital camera. (And also purchased some rechargeable batteries and a recharger). It is not a pocket size, but it is pretty small.
It seems to take fine pictures for her purposes. With a short hands-on experience, she is comfortable with it. Despite a little arthritis in her hands, she can open the battery/SD card compartment to change batteries or take the card out for reading on her computer. We chose it because it had a view finder as well as the screen. (I appreciate using the viewfinder when I don't have my reading glasses handy since then I can't focus well on any 'screen'. I imagined that the same would apply for my mother).
It can be a little slow in taking pictures, but from our experience with another model, that will be alleviated when we get a fast (class 6) SDHC card for her. It came with a 512MB card that was nothing special. It would be sensible to upgrade that as soon as possible with something like a 4 or 8GB class 6 card and high speed card reader.
The only thing I do not like (perhaps I just didn't read the manual carefully enough to figure it out) is I cannot change the stored image names to a more unique and identifiable naming scheme that uses the date in the name. The best I can do is specify that it never reuse a number over, but it starts at img_0001.jpeg and goes from there.
