Customer Review: Great little camera
This is a very nice camera for the price. Has a lot of features that more expensive cameras have. Takes very nice pictures. Highly Reccomended.
Customer Review: Good in performance. Excellent for price.
This has all the basic features and its working perfectly well. I have used it and the picture quality is very good. Considering the cost, its an excellent product. Only problem, the same that I have read in the reviews while buying the product, is that it takes some times for the flash to load after taking a picture, say about 4 seconds. If you dont think this is a problem for you, this camera is the best.

Customer Review: My new favourite thing....
I bought this cool little blue camera for myself for Christmas. I've been using the Canon PowerShot SD400 Elph 5mp 3x Zoom for the past few years and have really enjoyed it; however, this new camera blows it out of the water! Besides falling in love with the look and style of the E1 (it's the most beautiful shade of robin's egg blue I've ever seen), the pictures I've taken are incredible both in detail and clarity. And I'm equally impressed how close you can get to your subject with the zoom. I was going to get one of those Flip camcorders but the Movie Mode on this is perfect for capturing quick clips. The functions are all quite simple to use, you really don't even have to read the manual. It also has an "Easy" mode, excellent for anyone who might be intimidated by cameras. I feel this would be a perfect camera for both ends of the spectrum, from the novice to the more experienced. I'm in love with it! Canon makes wonderful products.
Customer Review: excellent little camera
I've had this camera for a few days, and already I love it. The points that have charmed me so far: 1- very low shutter lag. you can take a picture quickly, and capture exactly the scene you want (not the scene 2 to 5 seconds after you point your camera). 2- takes standard AA rechargeable batteries. also, you can turn off the LCD and use the old school view finder to save battery power in a pinch. 3- the 'print' button is programmable, so you can use it for a variety of other functions (useful to me because I almost never plug my camera directly into a printer). 4- the whole design of the camera is intuitive and easy to use. The only less-than-stellar aspect of this camera is its size. It's not bulky, but there are much tinier cameras in this class on the market. I wasn't quite prepared to remove a star for that, though, as a reduction in size would likely mean an increase in price. I think the trade-off is fine. Overall, I highly recommend this camera for point-and-shoot purposes. It's easily my favorite of the ~5 digital cameras I've owned over the years.

Customer Review: not made by samsonite
I purchased this case for my wife thinking that if it was made by samsonite it must be a nice and tough case. When I received it it was in a plastic bag and not still connected to the cardboard. After looking everywhere for a samsonite name there was none. The case is not made by samsonite it is a cheap plastic case. I guess it would be ok for a camera that stays at home but not a good case for someone who takes their camera on vacation or out to parties. I contacted the seller and they told me they do not sell samsonite cases which I thought was weird because it clearly states "by samsonite"

This camera puts you on the cutting edge of advanced technology, with an incrediblypowerful 20x optical zoom, 10-megapixel resolution, and new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high-performanceface and motion detection.
Customer Review: Farrell's Review
I bought the camera for my wife for christmas and she loves it. Easy to learn and takes top quality pictures.
Customer Review: I LOVE MY NEW SX10IS CAMERA!
I couldn't make up my mind what type of camera I wanted to purchase; an SLR or a point and shoot. I knew what features I wanted, but up until recently I couldn't find a camera fitting all my needs. I decided that for my purposes of taking travel pictures I wanted something easy to use, but an upgrade to my present camera, a Canon PowerShot A610. I really liked the shape of the camera, which is easy to hold with one hand. Then one of the best features was vari-angle LCD. After searching different cameras I was thrilled when I found the SX10IS which had most if not all the features I had been looking for. I wanted at least 18x optical zoom and this has 20x; I definitely wanted the vari-angle LCD for taking pictures either higher or lower than a comfortable viewing level. (It sure saves on backs when wanting to take a close up of a flower and you can turn the viewer up and hold the camera down at arms length to get a great picture). It also has the easy grip like my older camera, however I find there are more buttons that I sometimes push inadvertantly, and get out of the mode that I want to be in. As I get more used to the camera I don't mess up as often. The pictures come out crystal clear and I can zoom in when viewing on my computer and still get great pixel clarity. The finished photos I have had processed have come out close to studio quality. Recently I took portraits of guests at our Christmas party and had rave reviews of the finished product with many ordering additional prints to send to family and friends. Also, I was extremely pleased when taking photos at the Tournament of Roses parade last week. Most electonic gadgets have more features on them then one will ever use, and this camera is no exception. Slowly, I am trying to learn more to take advantage of more features. On the other hand, if you want ease of use then with this camera you can be out taking pictures as soon as you put in your batteries and memory card. Speaking of memory cards, you will want to buy a high speed card to take advantage of the continuous shoot feature. This is great when taking pictures of moving objects. Another feature I haven't mentioned is the great video (with sound) that you can take with this camera. Having a high capacity memory SD card helps. I always carry extra cards, but with my new 8 GB card I won't be using the extra cards very often. Face recognition is another feature I haven't used before. It is an interesting feature and new tool when taking group shots. I could go on and on, there are so many good things I could say about this camera. I really don't have any negatives other than accidentally pushing buttons when I don't want to. As I had read in another review, the controls are "touchy" and you have to be aware of where your "fat fingers" land. I'm a senior citizen who loves to take pictures and have thousands of photos on my computer. I enjoy viewing slide shows of all the pictures of our travels throughout the USA and also abroad. If you want to take a step up from the compact point and shoot then I would highly recommend the Canon PowerShot SX10IS. It has features you will appreciate for taking photos both indoors and out.

A Short Course in Canon PowerShot G2 Photography Book/eBook

This book/eBook package is you guide to getting more interesting and creative photos with your Canon PowerShot G2 digital camera. This cross between a very readable generic camera guide and a photography 101 course discusses every available procedure, command, and photographic technique in a clear, well-illustrated style. It will help you quickly master your camera so you can start getting the kinds of photos you hope for. The book is printed in black & white and has a well-liked spiral binding that lets the book lie flat or be folded back. The accompanying eBook on a CD disc is a full-color version of the same book in Adobe's popular PDF format. It can be read on a PC or Mac using the included Acrobat reader or any current Web browser. The CD also includes trial versions of a number of the author's favorite programs.
Customer Review: Simply, not worth the cost.
This is a very expensive book for something that looks like it was put together in someone's basement. The interior pages look like they were photocopied using a mediocre black and white copier. This obviously doesn't work well when you are trying to show people what their camera can do. I'm used to paying good money for a full color, hardcover book and this book is the complete opposite. Secondly, the book doesn't really go beyond describing and re-describing the camera's functions (all of which are explained in the camera's manual & available on Canon's website). I was hoping it would go into more detail. For example, instead of telling me that I need to turn this lever to this mode to take such a picture, I thought the book would explain why I would want to set the camera in this mode versus this one for a particular kind of picture. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this mode? What other modes might work just as well? Et cetera. The book does not answer these questions. I find the book to be a rehash of the Canon manual with lots of repetition probably used to beef the book up physically versus filling it with quality content. I've had my G2 for about a year now and I think the best way to learn using it is to experiment. Learn about the different settings in the camera's manual and then try them out with flash, without flash, selecting different white balance, manual vs. auto focus. That's the only way you are really going to find out what the amazing G2 can do. And, if you still feel like you need a book to hold your hand through the process try getting a general, less expensive digital camera guide that will go into more detail.
Customer Review: Very good overview, combined with techniques
A very helpful and usable manual. Even tho it's produced rather cheaply (spiral-bound, B&W), it really gives an excellent short course in photography as it relates to the feature-packed PowerShot G2. The manual that comes with the G2 is very well written, but doesn't really go into detail about how to get the pictures you really want, especially under difficult situations. This book definitely fills the gap. The camera was a bit intimidating to me, at first. Now it's not. I probably will print the PDF out in color, however. That's my major gripe.

Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

From the very first glance, the smooth shape and bold lines of the stylish PowerShot SD870 IS Digital ELPH signal that this is no ordinary camera. With 8.0 megapixels of resolution, an Optical Image Stabilizer and 3.8x optical zooming, the SD870 IS Digital ELPH boasts impressive specs as well as a host of convenient features. Face Detection Technology for worry-free people shots. A large 3.0-inch LCD to give you a perfect view of your scene. The Auto ISO Shift and ISO 1600 deliver brilliant images in challenging lighting.
Customer Review: Canon SD870IS is all it was touted to be
I did extensive research on "point-and-shoot" digital cameras before making a decision and have not been disappointed with my purchase of the Canon SD870IS. It's always challenging when doing product research online to separate what is important to you from the "expert" reviews (they complain about little things I would never notice and get excited about things - like color choices - which are meaningless to me.) And individuals' reviews are sometimes too simplistic and lacking substance or so extreme you wonder if they are biased for some reason other than the product itself. So I will try to keep it simple and factual ... Size and weight of the camera are great ... will easily fit in most shirt pockets. Have not had to recharge the battery yet after taking somewhere around 250 photos, most with flashes. Photo quality is good and image stabilization does help - but you still need to try to hold it still. I was very impressed with the quality of the video it shot (though this was unimportant in my purchasing decision) - nice to have! Powers up and is ready to shoot quickly and can take multiple pictures fairly fast for a digital. Quality and viewability of digital viewfinder is good, even in bright sunlight - surprisingly, I am not missing an optical viewfinder. Very reasonably priced - only $240 in Dec 08. I would highly recommend this camera to the "average Joe" like myself who wanted a good quality camera but didn't want to spend a lot. Enjoy!
Customer Review: great camera
I really like this camera, it is compact , takes great pictures and i love the big screen and image stabilization features. I do find the manual is not as easy to follow as I would like & why does it only come with a test memory card?
