Tastelessly MadeI use a camera every day, all day, so I've had piles of experience with the Canon A series cameras. I've been through four of the A series cameras in the life six months. These cameras are way to delicate for use. First of, the lense covers do not role properly after a few uses. If they get a little dust on them, they are ruined. Subsequent, the battery life is horrible although, if you buy the Energizer lithium batteries they do terminating a little longer. You have to take the batteries out of the camera when stored to another place because for some reason it will drain the batteries in the off rage. When needing the flash, you have to wait ten to fifteen seconds for it to recharge. Then there's the most aggrivating be involved of the camera, the lense retracting mechanism. On every A series camera I've habituated to, this part is pretty much the death of the camera. It's the E18 lens inaccuracy horror story. I don't know if the gears get off track or they at most collect dust and jam up but it won't take and you'll have trouble with it. I've started using my own Kodak Easyshare CX7300 that's far seven years old, and so far no problems. It actually takes better pictures than the Canon A series, you don't partake of to wait as long on the flash, and it don't have the lens retracting approach. My Kodak has been dropped a few times a couple of times, on clear-cut, and it still works like a charm. Personally, I think the Canon is justified to delicate for my taste.
Feeble piece of equipment
This spin-off can be very fragile. I dropped it from about 1 foot and now it doesn't answer when I try to turn it on.
Badging Camera
Tiptop camera with great picture quality and features. When using as a shortest connect camera battery life was very short - an discretional power supply should be used.
extensive camera
This was benefaction for my father. He has had it about 3 years. He loves it. I see all the pictures it takes and they are superior.
Devoted little Camera
Ive had this Camera for nigh 4 years now and i have nothing good things to say, it takes terrific pics for a Camera this price ( i paid 200.00 )and the Freestyle life is unbelievable! and easy to use, it's been my sole Camera. i would like to upgrade to a newer epitome possibly but for now this is a great Camera.
