Reviews Purchased this camera for its size, 6X optical zoom, Canon quality and AA battery power in that order. I have not been disappointed. I bought this camera because my Sony had defective electronics that weren't worth fixing. I'm very glad I bought this camera. It was reasonably priced and had standard AA Nickel metal hydrate batteries, instead of a special propriatery battery and memory card, like the Sony. I was very interested in the image stabilization feature, as I can no longer hand-hold a camera steady enough to prevent blurring. Although the manual settings are not complete, one can tweak some of the features to allow for full manual operation. I took a great photo of the full moon, with a tripod, and I was able to tweak the settings into an exceptionally clear photo. Yes the camera is a little bulky, but having standard AA batteries is worth the inconvenience. Getting the 8GB HCSD card, with a reader, was a great deal. I like the feature of creating a folder for each month. I never directly download pictures via the camera because of the slow speed. I only download via the card reader and Windows Explorer, which is very fast. I like the 3" large screen. A great camera that I highly recommend, provided you take the time to experiment and tweak the settings. Taking time exposure with a tripod and the shutter delay allows me to take great pictures, just like my old Canon AE-1. Obviously, I would prefer a digital SLR, but for the cost, this camera was well worth it. I have learned that it is not worth it to invest heavily in an expensive camera since the technology curve is so steep that the camera becomes obsolete so quickly. An extended warranty is worthless, because most electronics will fail within the first year. After that, it is unlikely to have problems (except with a Sony) for quite a while. When the camera finally dies, it would not be worth fixing, but rather buy a new camera with the latest technology features. For an entry level camera, 12MP and 6X zoom can't be beat. Add the 3 inch LCD and you've got one great camera. One easilly overlooked attribute is the fact that this cam takes 2 AA batteries and appears stingy with power usage, given the above features. We had an older model that chewed through 4 AAs like candy. Great camera... on the higher end of entry-level but worth the price. Excellent product. Has a solid feel to it... much more so than previous Canon point-and-shoot digital cameras we have owned. Has more features than we will ever use. Picture quality is awesome! i think this is a really nice camera but i was under the impression with the high megapixles it would take much better pictures and i would be blown away with the quality...im not impressed. but for simple everyday use its great
