    The camera won't turn after I opened the box. Even after charging the battery to full, the unit won't turn on. Returned it. Too bad because couple of years ago I bought a Canon camear for another family member and that unit was really good.

    I was unset to learn I had to buy a USB cord to upload my pictures from my camera to my computer. I would have bought another camera with a USB cord included if I had known.

    Excellent camera choice for photos on the go. I took this camera on vacation and it was easy to capture images. The resolution on the camera is not what I expected.

    It does get the job done. It is a basic camera with basic features but doesn't have an easy understandable concept as to how to get to them and remembering what is what and where for different settings.

    Had to return it because it wouldn't power on. Returned the replacement because it kept turning itself off after about 5 seconds. Didn't have the nerve to try a third time.

    I bought this camera for my trip to Europe. I tried taking beautiful pictures but they came out fuzzy and blurred. Very pixelated. My phone took better pictures!

    A Bit Disappointed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the camera as a back up to my SLR and for very quick shots. I was very disappointed on the movement that I saw on the camera, especially on night shots. Had to trash 85% of all shots taken at night. Highly disappointing. Great photos during the day, but don't take them from a moving car. - These are also bad. Recommendation would be dependent on use and quality expected.

    I bought one of these cameras for my self liked it so much. I got two more for some of my family. I have a few digital cameras but their big and not easy to take to parties or events. But this little baby takes great pictures and is so easy to use no problem viewing pictures. battery life is very good.

    Very portable and easy to navigate the menus. Takes very nice, quality photos, considering the price. I've purchased several Canon cameras (same product line), and we wear them out.

    Purchased as a present

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this camera as a present. The gentleman I purchased this camera for is in his 60's and had a 5mp canon camera already that he was used to. Moving up to this camera was a breeze for him canon has not changed much in there camera over the years other than camera quality itself. This camera takes crystal clear images and is very light and easily portable. Would highly suggest especially if you purchasing for someone who has a hard time learning new products.

    Camera is a good quality camera with good features but with a couple of drops will start to have bigger issues such as lense malfunctions and the case separating. We use this camera at our inspection company so we might be more rough than most.

    For our field construction crews, can't beat this camera for daily shots. Ease in uploading to our drop box files. Inexpensive in cost, but great little camera. Holds up really well to some rugged handling.
