"I was very pleased with the ease of use from first operatrion of camera to transferring images to my computer. The quality of these pictures where amazing even in very poor light conditions. Everyone I show these pictures to are also amazed at the quality. I would recommend this camera to anyone that has used a camera in the past. Much better then my Kodak easyShare."

"I purchased this caamera because one of the reviews said they purchased it for their mother-in-law who is challanged in the technology area and I am so challanged it is not funny. But this camera is very easy to use and has a cd that will walk me through the downloading process so I can put my pick's on the computer. It is a great little camera. My husband who is even more challanged in the techno area than I am can use it with no problem. I LOVE IT!!"

"This is my fifth digital camera and it is the best one I have had. It takes great pictures with very little effort and has many features usually found only on high- end (more expensive) cameras. One camera I had was a 12 mp but the pictures were all fuzzy. It was my second Kodak and I will never buy another one...from now on Canon is the brand for me! You won't be sorry if you buy this camera, it's a steal for all you get, not the least of which is great, crisp, clear pictures. And isn't that what we all want from a digital camera?"

"I ordered this camera for my mother-in-law who is very technologically challenged, so I wanted the simplest digital camera I could find! Since it is basically point and shoot automatically, it works great! She likes its simplicity to operate and small size very much! We do want to get a bigger memory card for it now as she ran out of space for pictures, but I wanted to make sure she liked it 1st - it fits great in her purse & the blue matches her cell phone! I liked the price too - only have seen once since I purchased this one for a few dollars cheaper on sale at a local discount store!"

"I bought this camera as a gift for my sister- and was so impressed by the quality of her pictures and the convenient size that I ordered one for myself. I have a larger, more complicated camera, and this one is easier to carry around, with similar quality snapshots. The convenience was far and away the deciding factor, but the ease of use and picture quality is a definite plus."
