Seller Great, Camera Useless
(3 out of 5) by Friends Fab Fan on Oct 5, 2009The camera arrived quickly and in good shape. I downloaded the software with ease. I programmed the camera to shoot items in my photo tent and hooked it up to my tripod. The pictures were horrid. I re-programmed it every which way and could never get a decent shot. Maybe only good for amateur sight-seeing photos.

canon
(5 out of 5) by Jack Ollodort on Nov 7, 2009 (la,ca)This little canon is great. I replaced my Nikon camera because it was not downloading pics.
I went from 5 megapixels to 10 and the difference is noticeable. I love the color too.
Great camera!

so disappointed
(2 out of 5) by darby mom on Sep 20, 2009 (chicago,il)I had this camera for 3 weeks. I thought everything was fine until I went to use it and the lcd viewer was black. I tried to take a picture. The flash went off and it sounded like everything was fine. The display was black. Tried to transfer the pictures on the memory card to my laptop. The picture I attempted to take transferred as a black square. The pdf manual was no help. Maybe this is a lemon, but I'm so disgusted and desperate for a functional camera that I went back and bought the 1100is without trying to contact canon about this problem - no time to deal with phone calls. Will be returning this as soon as the new one arrives.

High-quality, easy to use
(5 out of 5) by krb11882 on Sep 12, 2009 (Washington, DC, USA)We spent a little more than usual on this digital camera, and it's been well worth it. It takes fantastic photos and is very easy to use. I would recommend it to friends.

More bells and whistles then I'll ever need
(4 out of 5) by Judge Judy on Sep 12, 2009 (North Dakota)My daughter dropped and broke my much loved Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30A. Heartbroken but unwilling to spend $350 at this time to replace it I spent days comparing reviews, shopping in stores and decided this would be a nice camera.
The orange color is great! Don't know why but I love this color on a camera. The size is even a little bit smaller then the Lumix, so another plus. I have taken and downloaded quite a few pictures but have not had any printed yet.
Maybe if I took the time to really go through the directions it wouldn't seem so complicated, but I really just want to pick up and shoot. If I touch the wrong button this camera has way too many menus that will take over. Then just trying to get it back to a simple mode takes time. I will figure it out, I just don't want to have to. I wish they would make a camera with great reviews that you could LOCK into a simple picture mode.
