excellent camera for the value
I consider myself a little bit of a photography buff, though I prefer my 35mm Pentax to anything digital. So with this Canon I was pleasantly surprised at all of the features. It ranges from a simple, user-friendly choice with automatic settings and multiple atmosphere settings, to a more complex, manual camera with a whole depth of features that make it fun to capture exactly what you want. Since I enjoy the manual aspect of 35mm, I really love the fact that I can change ISO, shutter speed, F stop, focus and everything else to really achieve the results I'm looking for. Its the first digital camera I've owned that actually operates like a camera and not a computer. Nice big screen, sturdy body, easy operating buttons & functions. I love it.

The ONLY thing I don't like about it is how fast it goes through batteries. You should really get some rechargeable ones to go with this because I can go through 2AAs in one day easily with this thing.

point & shoot OR Professional
we love this camera and I appreciate the extras but prefer point-and-shoot so I don't miss a quick shot. Try it; you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Don't drop this camera!
I loved this camera until I dropped it only 12-18 inches to the frozen ground in Vermont. Now it is worthless and I get a "Lens Error-restart camera" message on the LCD screen. Apparently this somethimes occurs without dropping the camera, according to another comment I just read. I Previously I had a Sony point and shoot and that camera was never dropped and simply stopped working. I was told the screen was cracked rendering the camaera unusable. Is there any camera that lasts more than a year?
