Lately I have been buying Digital Cameras, Using them for a while then selling them. I have used the HP Photosmart 435 - It was worth the 129.00 but lacked alot, Sony DSC-P32 - Took awesome pictures and had a few extra features, Concord Eye-Q 3040 - Good camera in general but horriable software included camera was really confusing but then again it was only 100.00 new. This camera was the best of all them. It took better pictures then my Concord 3040 Did and it was 4MP. It had tons of features but lacked a few manual features. The size was awesome I could take it anywhere. I just sold it and am expecting a HP Photosmart 935. Review should be up soon on that. But I loved this camera, it had tons of features and was really small. The software was really crappy though being it didn't do a thing. But the camera was awesome!

I have had the camera for about two months and I find that it has three big faults. Wush I hadn't bought it.

1. The viewfinder is nearly useless since it does not show the anywhere near the full area of the actual picture taken. So when it is too bright or inconvient to use the display on the back of the camera, framing the subject is guesswork; I nearly always end up cropping the image.

2. The automatic exposure for flash is at least one f-stop too little, but OK for non flash exposures. So when taking flash pictures I have to keep going into the custom1 menu to set the exposure compensation to +1.0. I often forget to set or reset that setting, so I have a lot of badly exposed pictures.

3. The little wrist strap that they stongly advise one to use has a plastic fastener which scratches the display window, with the result that I was unable to return the camera to Amazon as I wished. Should have bnever used it!

The small size and the fast action are delightful. I will continue to use the camera but experence frustration every time I get a bad exposure or have too crop a third of the picture area away.

Great little camera!Manuel was pretty easy to understand.Boomers may need time to understand.Yes I'm a boomer!Get the casual case and there is a sakar battery for $18.00 that you can pre-order.Get the screen protector(for sure)Software took time for me to understand(Boomer)Oh Yes!I paid for overnight but it was sent Reg...Watch out for that!

Xt is superb pocket camera with 3MP and 3x zoom, prefect for snapshots. Its got Video out port to show pics on TV and also has a very solid build quality. Xt is a good camera with one fatal flaw. It uses propreitary Li-Ion battery.

A new model (Dimage X20) is now available with AA batteries and same size.

Ofcourse if you want the best picture quality in a pocket sized camera Canon Elph is the way to go.

I was disappointed with the image quality. My aunt's 1.2 mp camera took sharper pictures. I would probably never have noticed if I didn't have that comparison. I hope I'm just doing something wrong. The size is nice but not a good trade-off for picture quality.
