 Fabulous camera for Senior Citizen Jul 31, 2010
I have a couple of digital cameras but my 78 yr old husband needed a camera with a viewfinder that was easy to operate and would generate clear pictures despite his hands being unsteady most of the time. This camera does it all! This camera is almost perfect in every way ! The only feature that we both are a bit disappointed in is the on/off button is small and level with the camera body,so it a bit hard to use. We would have preferred if the button has been raised a bit or even had a left to right on/off instead of an up/down button.I realize the goal was to keep the camera's body small so button size was compromised to have room for everything.
We have never been so impressed with a camera's ease of operation while giving you so many shooting options. I printed the full manual from the Canon USA website (136 pages) and gave it to my husband to read and learn before his 60th high school reunion in late Aug. He pretty well has mastered the camera overnight. The pictures are so clear, the color balanced and we have absolutely nothing to complain about regarding picture quality.
Clearly we are not advance photographers so don't expect an in depth technical review. This is just a great point and shoot camera and it's no wonder it gets such high marks on all camera web sites. Everyone loves this camera because it's so easy to operate and produces great pictures. We love it too !!
 Too bad... A great little camera that takes awful pictures. Jul 31, 2010
How disappointing! I currently own a Canon Powershot sd800is and I love it. Perfect pics & videos, excellent battery life, durable, no issues whatsoever. When my daughter saved her money up for a digital camera I really didn't look much farther than Canon because I wanted her to have a great camera. Since the sd800is is no longer available we picked the updated version, the sd1200is, which has more mega-pixels and zoom than my old one.
When it arrived, we charged the battery and began taking indoor pictures. They were very blurry and they had a yellowish-orange glow. (We even had one that showed a blue & green orb floating by my staircase. STRANGE!) I tried adjusting the settings to fix the issues, but nothing worked. I'm not a camera expert, but I understand what most of the features and menu itmes do. I have used them on my sd800is with much success. I had my husband and his brother (both are smart techy guys) work with the camera. Still, we could not get it to take clear pictures. When I tried to take pics outside they came out virtually white, completely overexposed. My daughter tried taking some pics and did have success, but only if she took them in pitch darkness with the flash on. They were clear and sharp with good color. They looked like they had been taken with my old camera. But, how practical is a camera that only works in the dark???
I called Canon support and they took me through the same steps I had already tried, finally suggesting that I ship it in for service. They were very friendly, helpful, and professional, but they couldn't replace the product, only service mine and return it to me in about 3 weeks.
After considering my 30 day return window with Amazon, I decided by the time I would get it back from Canon, if I wasn't satisfied, I wouldn't be able to return it. So I declined the Canon service and simply returned it to Amazon, which was also a very simple and painless process.
We ended up spending less than half as much on a Polaroid t1031. It doesn't have all the cool features the Canon has (no video either), but it does have image stabilization, a rechargeable battery, and the greatest part... it takes good pictures! And she has some money left in her pocket so that's a good thing as well.
I won't say, "Don't buy a Canon" because I love my old one and the features and customer service are great. I will say, "Don't be afraid to return it." Most of the reviews are great, but sometimes you get a lemon like I did. I chose not to make lemonade, I sent it back and got some pretty delicious orange soda. YUM!!!

 Good Beginner Camera, light on quality construction. Jul 27, 2010
Good startup camera for point and shoot. There is a real difference in the quality of the construction between this and other Canon products I've owned. Slow focus. Good picture quality. Features are very helpful giving options to "auto mode" I think I would go up a model or two next time.

Great Camera for the Price Jul 26, 2010
My daughter used and older model of this camera in her digital photography class and fell in love with it. I purchased the up dated version and we are all please with the camera. Has plenty of extras and video and prints come out clear. Great camera for the price.

This Camera Kicks ASS! Jul 23, 2010
As I look at some of the other reviews I am wondering a few things: 1. Are these folks reviewing the same camera? 2. Did they get a broken/faulty one? 3. Did someone in their family drop it w/o their knowing? 4. Did they sniff a considerable amount of glue before operating it?
I'm not trying to be a jerk but this camera kicks! I have had other Canon cameras, there are a few I looked at that I absolutely did not like and would not buy. But this one is the least expensive ELPH with the latest D4 processor, as usual it has WAY too many functions. Last week at the zoo I mastered the rapid fire photo mode, anyone with a 4 y/o will appreciate that mode and it works great to catch memories-in-motion. I caught expressions that I normally miss. You will need a large data card but I deleted the unwanted extra frames when reviewing on my pc. Movie clip mode is even better than my other two Canons A500 series and A80, [four and eight years old].
It does have more settings and noticed the full auto function tends to over flash a bit indoors causing some wash-out, but like any product you have to get to know your camera! We tend to expect gizmos to do all of the thinking for us, that is an unrealistic expectation. I told my wife try full auto flash and try it w/o for best results in different conditions. I have noticed that eventhough cameras now have a huge screen to instantly check your picture folks don't...they shoot away without giving it a second thought. Then they get home and are pissed when the pic's suck, well it's not always the cameras fault. A lot of times I have caught my wife taking pic's with the camera in the wrong shoot mode...Oops! maybe one day cameras will talk, "hey dummy! I'm in the wrong mode." But until then learn your camera and experiment with it!!! We have lost our share of one-time memories to pilot-error.
