I returned this camera because it took forever for it to recover after taking a picture and a lot of the pictures ended up being very blurry.

This camera was a gift for a fourteen year old girl.She loves it! I have seen some of the pictures and they are great! The quality of the color and definition is fantastic! She has no problem using this camera,it is very easy to use.If a fourteen year old can use it,anyone can.I recommend this camera to anyone who wants easy use and quality pictures.

This camera produces very good pictures compared to cameras at and slightly below this price range. Some cameras in this range produce pictures that are “washed out” and “noisy” (mainly any brand that is not from a larger company). The camera’s performance is a little slow to focus and charge the flash, just make sure to pre-focus before taking the shot.
I purchased this camera as a “carry camera”. I have higher end P&S and DSLR cameras which I am scared to take with me sometimes, for fear of damage, so I take this one. It does well for this and the AA batteries are nice because I can replace them anytime.

i know very little about photography, but i do know when a hard is easy to use and takes excellent pictures.
pros:
- inexpensive
- takes excellent pictures of stationary objects
cons:
- flash is slow to recharge
- the camera is miserably slow at focusing at in on distant objects when you use the optical zoom
- if you loose patience with how long it takes the camera’s auto-focus to focus in on an object or person, the pictures will invariably come out blurry
- battery life is short when you use the flash regularly
bottom line:
- still probably worth it if you want a very basic point-and-shoot camera under $100

This is my third Canon point-and-shoot, and I’m a devoted Canon customer. Picture quality is outstanding, and the camera is easy to use for the non-professional photographer. The Amazon.com shipping was quick and efficient as well. Highly recommend this and other Canon cameras!
