I love this camera!

I have to say this camera takes CRAZY quality pictures! For the price and size, it really couldn't be better! I'm a fan of Canon products and this camera convinces me that I can continue to trust them when it comes to digital photography! Easy to use, runs for days on batteries and uses SD memory cards (which are built into my laptops). in for, which is very convenient). The LCD screen is great! Big and beautiful! This machine is spared the viewfinder, which is rarely used due to its…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great camera for the price

This is my first digital camera. I bought it for $90 after much research and I have to say it's worth the price. I mainly use it to photograph products for my online shop and for that it gives very clear and vivid images. I find that most images require some sort of color adjustment, which can be done with the included software. The camera is very easy to use and the software is easy to install. I love the macro feature for close up shots and the powerful zoom feature is great! The LCD screen…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Older model

Fast camera - ideal for motorcycle use

Bought this camera for my wife to use as a passenger on my motorcycle while riding. This is great because the camera turns on and is ready to shoot in just over a second. Many cameras take 10 or 15 seconds to turn on, and by that time you've already completed the picture. It also helps conserve battery power, which is pretty good for this camera too, with a single pair of rechargeable NiMH AA batteries that last a full day. Shoot. The resolution of this camera (7 megapixels) is sufficient…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly

It's almost as small as the Olympus XA2

I bought this camera after my hospital decided to go digital for wound documentation after Polaroid decided to stop making instant film for their cameras. The camera they chose was this. I had my doubts but after using it I really started to like it and I bought it for myself. It's compact, uses AA batteries, and has super macro capability. The only negative is that there is no flash or I haven't figured out how to use the flash with super macro. Without a tripod and flash, not all super macro…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Low maintainability

Great zoom: camera and photos

I've been using this camera for a few months and found the optical zoom a great feature. If you are looking for a cheap camera with great features, this is your chance. You won't be able to get the super effects that a $1,000 camera can, but this one is great for simple, pinpoint shots. This isn't a very light camera and the battery life isn't that great since we're talking about AA batteries. . But if you have rechargeable batteries like I do, it helps a lot. I also have an extra pair of…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

So glad I bought this.

I bought this camera as a gift for my daughter in March 2009 because she wanted to start making videos for my 7 year old granddaughter. I researched for hours and was so thankful for the great customer reviews here at Revain. They told me everything I needed to know and more. I bought a camera, a 4GB Transcend SDHC Class 6 TS4GSDHC6E flash memory card, a 4GB Transcend SDHC Class 6 4GB flash memory card with card reader TS4GSDHC6-S5W and a Duracell portable charger with 2 pre-charged AA NiMH…

Pros
  • Few competitors
