So I would probably be giving it a 5 star review but unfortunately, right out of the box, I could not use any creative modes and change ISO, WB, or anything else. The camera would only work in auto modes and it wouldn't allow me to reset because when in creative modes (Aperture, Tv, Adep, Program, etc) I was not able to get the menu to show up when pushing menu button....It would only take a shot in creative modes if I switched to Manual focus and then I couldn't change anything but fstop or aperture...It was very frustrating to be on vacation and to not be able to use the camera beyond the basic point and shoot auto modes...I called Canon and they said that it needs to be serviced. I decided not to send it to Canon where they'd fix the existing camera and send it back in a week or two and to just have Amazon send me a new one since I JUST got this camera a week ago! I want it perfectly new and functional out of the box! If I can get one that works right I'm sure I'd be giving it 5 stars...so when I get my replacement in I'll hopefully leave a better review!
Don't buy this item.....September 3, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Buy the kit with EF-S 18-55mm IS lens instead. The new 18-55mm IS lens is a gem and the kit only costs $60 more. This lens is much better optically than the Canon 17-85mm IS lens that costs four times as much. Even if you decide not to use the kit lens, you can resell it for much more than $60.
Maybe the perfect (at the moment) cameraSeptember 1, 2008 Nearly as simple as a point and shoot, but with most of the bells and whistles of a pro camera, and over 12 megapixels to boot, and smaller & lighter than a pro camera, yet uses all the same lenses. Terrific.
excellent camera for the priceAugust 31, 2008 This is a great entry level DSLR. It's very intuative to use. The quality of the pictures taken from this camera is excellent even with the cheap kit lens. I can't wait to get some L-lenses. It only cost a little bit more than higher end point and shoot cameras, but the level of artistic rendition that can be achieve from this camera is well worth the extra cost. If you like taking still images buy this camera instead of wasting your money on a point and shoot. Highly recommended. One gripe though....my dirtyface smear all over the lcd screen everytime I use the view-finder. It makes reviewing your shots a bit blurry. Very annoying.
