5 out of 5 stars Best 'lil camera   October 7, 2008

My wife and I did quite a bit of studying all cameras before we bought. The reviews and ratings are a great help. We have had this camera for a month now and it does great for us. We don't care if have a zoom read out as with the good sized viewer and active grandchildren, it's all we need. We haven't changed batteries in it yet and is used almost every day. Very easy to operate and download to the computer or printer. My wife took beautiful flower pictures up close to frame later. I did purchase the kit for this camera at a very reasonable price. We haven't used the battery charger yet and the carrying case was fine.

This camera takes awesome pictures! My older camera was a Nikon, which also took nice pictures, but this Cannon does a great job and it's easy to use. I highly recommend this camera!


5 out of 5 stars Perfect little camera for budding interest in photography   October 7, 2008
John Narofsky
I bought this camera for my nine-year-old son about four months ago. He had been playing with my Pentax K10D under careful supervision and had taken some rather striking pictures, so I decided to see if he had any further interest of his own. I didn't want to buy too much camera but at the same time I didn't want to get him a toy that would hamper his ability to take the shots he wanted to take.

I was looking for a camera that had great overall build quality, a usable optical viewfinder, took SD cards (I had a bunch due to my own camera), opened up pretty wide to catch low-light photos, had a reasonable zoom so he could take a variety of shots, was small enough for his hands, light enough for him to carry all day, and enough controls to keep his appetite for the technical side of things sated. This camera was the only one to hit the mark on all specifications.

As an aside, I'm likely going to buy him the Opteka wide angle and telephoto adapter lenses. The zoom on this camera is decent, but he's straining against the limit.

I am really enjoying my camera....have gotten some great pictures of the grandkids...as well of some local birds. It is easy to use...and I love that I can get attachments as time goes by.

I was very pleased with the Amazon service and when I received my camera was also pleased with the camera.
