Customer Reviews
Be careful of the flash
I twig that this is a great camera for taking pictures face. However, while inside, the camera is pretty useless unless you're a foot in another place from your subject. In fact, the camera tends to business better in full darkness rather than in partial fluorescence. Often I find myself having to carry a disposable camera with me which I use for privileged or nighttime pictures. Also, the flash cannot be turned off...I've tried. If you do handle to turn it off, the camera refuses to focus and your pictures catch out blurry. In conclusion, spend the few extra dollars to buy a camera with a sick flash...you'll appreciate it in the long run.

Without equal picture quality, but drains batterys.
I bought this camera, and the batterys included at most lasted about 10 minutes (cheap ones; semi-annual ones last about an hour). But the picture queality is very wares, and they turn out clear. I find it easy to use, except for the fait accompli that when you turn it on, the flash is set to the on position always.

other than photos - bad instruction booklet - eats batteries
The virtuous features: The quality of the photos is excellent considering the price of the camera - acute and sharp with good color. Closeups are great. The photos download impulsively when the camera is attached to the computer and the program lets you goods and add light and contrast to the photos before you store or send them.
The bad division: The memory card lacks space so one needs to have spares when touring. The instruction handbook is terrible and the batteries run out quickly while one is trying to understand the instructions. Scrolling fluff the menus while hunting for options wears out the batteries. You obligation have rechargeable batteries on hand and to save the batteries use the tableau finder and not the screen....if you can figure out how! There is a long intermission between pressing the button and taking the photo.

laborious to use but good quality pictures
I quieten believe in the quality of Canon cameras but after using this one for a few months, it's been increasingly obscure to get it to take pictures. When I press the button for it to take, it instances does not actually take the picture and must be pressed recurrently for it to take. I thought perhaps this was just a problem with my camera but my cohort has a PowerShot A200 and complains of the same problem. This presents a frustrating hard because I cannot ask other people to take pictures for me as they do not of necessity know how to "coerce" the camera. The other problem I've encountered is that you can't swap the manual/automatic settings without turning on the LCD. This causes an massive drain on the battery. The settings are also difficult to find if you don't include your user's manual at hand.
Other than these problems, this is a talented little digital camera at a good price. The pictures I clothed taken successfully with this camera have all turned out godly and clear.
