Value for money January 6, 2009

This is a value for money product. I have used it extensively for a month or so. Amazing quality of pictures.
This is especially great cam for users who are starters with digicam. I am gonna gift this cam to my dad.
Loved it! January 6, 2009
This was my second digital camera. If you want a fancy camera with amazing shots, this isn't for you, but it's a fun, small, (relatively) cheap point-and-shoot camera with some great features. I love taking pictures on it.
If you're thinking about buying it and you just want a nice, easy-to-use camera, this is for you. Thank you, Canon.
 Nice camera, some slight issues January 4, 2009

My son bought this camera for me this Christmas and I'm still learning how to use it, but I'll do some pros and cons here:
Pros: View finder, large LCD screen, great macro setting, nice size with hand grip.
Cons: Long delays between shots, grainy at long range, flash too bright, no neck strap.
I really like the feel of this camera, and I love the view finder, but overall it's a step down from my present camera. I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z20, 5 megapixels and 8X optical. I love that camera but it's too bulky to take everywhere. It doesn't have the image stabilizer but it seems to take clearer pictures than the Canon does. However, the macro on the Canon is much better than the KM, and that's important to me.
I'm really concerned with the long delay between shots, and if anyone can tell me how to fix this, I would appreciate it. I'm not especially techno-savvy and that thick manual is pretty intimidating! (But at least it comes with a manual.)
