Fantastic little camera
Firstly let me thank Amazon for a great service. Ordered Wednesday evening and with me Friday morning. Excellent! It doesnt get much better than that. One on-line retailer I 100% trust...

Onto the camera.....I decided to upgrade my Canon Powershot A540 to this one basically because of the Image Stabilation feature, the new DIGIC III processor and the face detection feature. I have to say it the upgrade was well worth it.

If you are looking for a camera just to point and shoot then this is ideal for you BUT it has so much more to offer.

The extras on this camera are too numerous to mention here but are covered in dozens of on-line reviews so simply my advice would be to read the manual cover to cover and make sure you discover all the secrets that lie within.

I already own a digital SLR but this little camera is small and robust enough to sling in your jacket pocket so you can have it with you at all times to capture those once in a lifetime moments.

Two points to mention are batteries and the SD card. It takes two AA batteries (supplied) but they wont last long and I wholly recommend you buy some high power rechargeables (at least 2700mAh) and carry a spare set with you. It is a power hungry little beastie but you should get 250-300 shots out of a fully charged set.

Also the supplied SD memory card is way way too small for any reasonable number of pictures at full resolution (you can only take 5 on the 16mb card provided) so make sure you buy at least a 1GB card as well.

However, don't let these little niggles put you off what is a fantastic little camera.

My First Digital Camera and It's Great!
Having finally decided that digital cameras aren't just some passing fad (okay, so maybe it had more to do with other things being a higher priority), I recently bought my first digital camera. There were several things I knew I wanted, and this camera fit the bill. I'm really glad too, because I love it.

I was looking for a camera that took AA batteries and had a viewfinder. Most everything else was secondary. This camera had both of those as well as 4x optical zoom, 7.1 mega pixels, and image stabilizer. As soon as I knew about that feature, I had to have it. I am notorious for taking slightly shaky pictures. This feature automatically adjusts for some shakiness. And it has done a great job.

Basically, I just wanted to camera that I could use to snap pictures on vacations or while out with friends. I didn't need anything fancy. And this camera does a wonderful job of capturing those moments. The pictures are mostly clear, and I'm willing to take the blame for the bad ones. The camera could be a little smaller, but there seems to be a trade off - bigger camera if you want AA batteries. It's super easy to download all or just the pictures you want onto your computer as well.

Considering I probably won't upgrade my camera for quite a few years, I wanted to make a wise choice. And it looks like I have. I'm quite pleased with this purchase.

Great Value
Bought this to replace an old Powershot A70. Much lighter and quite a bit smaller (uses only 2 AA cells instead of 4), with very good image quality. Fits nicely in the hand (I like the grip on this camera). Noise levels at ISO 100 are very good, although as expected noise gets quite noticeable at ISO 400 and above if looking at full magnification on a monitor, but overall excellent for the price. Lots of manual control if you need it. Goes snugly in a Lowepro Apex 20AW belt pouch (especially if the orange divider in the pouch is removed).
