5 comments about Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue).

1. I bought this camera after having dealt with many other digital cameras and this one is the best one yet! The picture quality is beautiful and I don't have to wait a lifetime for the flash to work as I did with other cameras. It fits great in your pocket and is lightweight. It has the face focus squares and the zoom works wonderful. I would recommend this camera to anyone.



2. This camera is awesome. I am not an expert with electronics and found this camera to be extremely easy to use. It takes excellent pictures and the the battery life is good. The load time follow a picture is quick also allowing you to take consecutive pictures quickly.



3. I am not up on all the technical things about photography so I have not made many changes to this, except some I read from other reviewers. I don't even understand some of the instructions. But I do know what I expect a good picture to look like and this camera has not let me down. The pictures I have taken, small objects, sunsets, lightning, and people have come out great. If I want I can always edit them on the computer. The program they give you to use is so easy. I highly recommend this to even the once in awhile picture takers.



4. Very light, fits in any pocket. Extremely easy to use, and takes great snap shots. Won't replace an SLR-type camera, but a great option for when you can't/don't want to lug a bigger camera around.



5. I wanted a small point and shoot camera for in my pocket when I am not carrying my Nikon SLR, which is huge and bulky. I miss too many shots that way. I bought this one a couple of weeks ago and I am amazed. The shots are clear, and good enough to be sold on stock photography sites that are very picky. I even shot video with it to send to my husband in Iraq and it is as good as a small hand held video camera, and picture cameras never have that quality. Buy this one!! It is soooo worth the money :)

5 comments about Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black).

1. My Canon is now 2 years old, and I would now term it, broken in. I have taken more than 10,000 photos, and each year I notice my pictures get better. Having begun my road in photography only 3 years ago, I am still vested in my Canon. I appreciate the ease of use, the quality of 8MP, and the various lense. Having cut my teeth on this Canon Rebel XT, it will always be my first love. Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black)



2. This is my first SLR. I am very happy with it, easy to use and very light compared other Canon's.



3. I purchased Canon Digital Rebel XT because of my previous use of a
   Canon Rebel 2000. I particularily liked the idea of being able to use
   my existing lenses. I am extemely pleased with the Digital Rebel XT.
   The quickness in being able to take pictures without a delay makes this
   camera a real plus for me. I would recommend this model to anyone
   who loves to photograph especially children, who do not sit still for
   long. This camera is a winner.



4. The people at Canon have really done a beautiful job making a very beginner-friendly D-SLR. Right out of the box, I was able to take beautiful, frame-worthy photos of my children. The value was amazing. Compared to other brands, the Rebel XT far outshone the rest at this price.
   I generally use this one as a "point-and-shoot." I really like the fact that it takes the photos of my two small children (just turned two, and ten months old) INSTANTLY. Digital point-and-shoots take so long that the girls have moved by the time the camera takes the picture!
   Overall, great value for the price, great beginner camera all around. I'm impressed.



5. The price was great the camera has performed just wonderfully. The features and ease of use is fantastic.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.

1. I purchased the G9 looking to replace my aging Powershot S60. I decided to get the G9 based on my experiences with previously owned Powershots A20, S50, and S60. I liked the ability of all of the former cameras of being able to take usable photos in low light.
   
   The G9 fails to deliver on image quality. All images display an incredible amount of noise. Even in broad daylight, noise is rife throughout a G9 image.
   
   Pros:
   -Great form factor. I really love the build and physical quality of the G9. Its great to hold, and carry. Very portable.
   -Great LCD. I have people walk up to me when they see it and they comment on how nice it is.
   
   Cons:
   -Useless optical view finder. The lens often intrudes into its view.
   -Noise! Noise! Noise! you can't escape it. Not sure if you can fix in post-processing (which I don't want to do in the first place-it should come out of the camera ready to go)
   
   I must admit, I have not yet tried shooting RAW to see if the noise is any better. At some point, I may update this review to include my RAW findings.



2. I took my sons Christmas pictures with this camera and it looked very professional. I am very impressed with it. I love that I can make videos with it also. The images come out very sharp!



3. I have a powershot A620 and thougt that I was in heaven. Now with the G-9, I know that I am in heaven! It does everything that I want and I have gotten two additional lens (telephoto & wide angle). Now I am going to get the armour cover and a fish eye! It is so easy to use and carry! Just love the RAW Mode! Cannot say enough about the camera. It does the job of a SLR, but less the bulkiness and weight! Try It, you'll like it!



4. Amazon delivered the Canon G9 as promised. The Camera has been fun to learn over the last 30 days. This camera is best bought by someone interested taking Photographs, not snapshots! The difference is that snapshots are quick, brainless, and mostly good results at Bday parties, dinners, travelling landscapes, etc. (I own a Nikon coolpix for that purpose) Whereas the G9 is best used by someone desiring to be creative with photographs, take a little longer to set the camera controls; think through the end result, before setting the camera and clicking...
   
   The Camera is an EXCELLENT choice for a portable high end point and shoot camera (that is as near to DSLR as possible). It is an EXCELLENT camera to take in place of DSLR and multiple lenses (6x optical zoom, Hotshoe, manual settings, RAW capability, etc.). It is an EXCELLENT camera to learn about PHOTOGRAPHY and maybe step into DSLR's in the future. IMPORTANT NOTE: The camera has a decent learning curve, and if you buy this top rated camera, you must be prepared to spend time becoming familiar and learning the settings. You will join the Ansel Adams crowd when you buy the G9. Of course, there is a fully automatic setting on the camera for fast P&S shooting, but where's the fun in that?
   
   The downside to the camera is the shutter lag is somewhat noticable, and this requires a "human adjustment" in how you use your camera. Meaning, it is not a fast DSLR, but because the G9 is so good and capable, you may think of it in that way, and have to "wake-up" a moment ... take just a bit longer to snap the Photograph.
   
   I am thrilled with the camera! I would buy this camera again! I researched this camera extensively before I made the purchase, and considered the super-zoom category of cameras. There are many to choose, and my nearest choice was the Canon S5-IS. However this category is crowded with Fujifilm, Panasonic, Sony, and Nikon... so you really must do your homework (Hey, you're reading this review, so you're ahead of the crowd already. Research is as much of the enjoyment of making a new camera purchase, right?) The image quality, the remarkable build quality, great fit and feel in you hands, and the portability (vs. DSLR with mutiple lenses), and the rich rich feature set including RAW (again remember the learning curve)... makes this camera the only and singular camera for me.



5. When I saw this at a retail store I had camera envy, something that I had not had since first got a look at my G5. This camera did not dissapoint, the menu features are easier to find! And to have volume control with the video features is incredible! Not to mention a HD feature the videos are outstanding. The best feature is the step up to 12 megapixel, I've made C size image prints with huge clearity, get this camera!!

5 comments about Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.

1. This is an excellent camera for the money! It is small enough to carry in a pocket but still large enough to feel good and have a viewfinder so that you can turn the viewing screen off to save the battery. We have taken several hundred photographs so far and are still on the first set of batteries. The photos are excellent quality and the camera is easy to use but sophisticated enough to allow a wide variety of individual priority's such as aperture or timing. It also has the image stabilizer so that unfamiliar people can take photos without blurring them. I would buy it again without hesitation.



2. After considering the Olympus Stylus 830 and a Sony, I went with the Canon A590IS for two reasons: 1)it has a viewfinder and 2)it takes AA batteries. The viewfinder is particularly useful to me as I bought the camera specifically to take photos of cactus blossoms in full sun. I am still new to this camera but without having studied too much, I've gotten some excellent photos. This 8 MP camera produces images comparable to my friend's 8 MP SLR, a much bulkier body. Even with four sets of extra batteries, the booklet and a charger, my camera bag is smaller and has some room to spare.



3. So I was looking for something with slightly more features then a cheap point and shoot camera. I used to have an older Canon and thought I would give them a try again, and I have to say I am rather pleased with my purchase. The camera turns on and is ready to take picutres quickly. The Auto mode is great for most daylight or well lit settings. The 'Night-Scene' Mode works great if you are taking picutres during the night or in a dim room. Colors are vibrant and crisp, and the image stabilization works rather well when using the zoom. I really like all the available customization options for Exposure and and White Balance, that helps if you know a bit about what you are doing and want to take some specialized shots, which is exactly what I was looking for.
   
   I only have one thing that I don't like so far about the camera. I would have liked something more then just a 4x Optical Zoom. A 6x or 8x would have been a lot nicer, although you can purchase additional lenses for this, which is a great option. However, this seems to be more of an issue with all point and shoot type digital cameras, not something specific to this camera.
   
   Overall a great value for what you get.



4. This is by far the best camera that I have ever owned. As someone who mostly takes pictures of dogs and other things of the sort it is perfect for me. It is easy to use and the quality is great. I love this camera and would recommend it to anyone.



5. I am not a guy who knows all the mumbo jumbo stuff about cameras. What I do know is value and quality and this camera has both. It is light weight and can easly fit in your breast shirt pocket. It only takes 2 AA bateries to operate and is really easy to use. When I take a picture I use the automatic mode (I'm to busy taking pictures to worry about all the different kinds of modes and stuff), just point and click, real easy. The pictures come out great and even though you my be moving a little there is no blur. The video aspect is great also, the only limit is the ammount of memory you have in the camera. They say this is an entry level camera, but I disagree. It for sure is a mid level entry digital camera. Maybe one day I'll learn what all this camera can do and really be astonished. All in all a great buy.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.

1. Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized ZoomThis is my first digital camera and I just love it! It's fairly easy to operate and takes great pictures. I would recommend it if you've never had a digital camera. I also ordered the Canon PSC-85 Deluxe Soft Case to carry the camera and it fits very well.



2. I brought this as a birthday gift to myself, one of the best gifts. It is the perfect size, easy to operate ( my son is 9 and he is taking wonderful pictures)



3. I previously owned Samsung 8.1 Mega pixel camera but I wasnt happy about it. Then I ve been seeing photos from my colleagues and the shots were impressive. They recommend me this camaera. So i sold my Samsing in Ebay and bought this from Amazon. I've never been so satisfied with what this camera had gererate clear crisp pictures. My previous Samsung camera was even more expensve.
   
   Just match any camera with the same price and you'll see what Im taking about. This camera, for performance and dollar value is 5 STAR!



4. I was initially pleased with the quality of this item. However, the second time i used the camera, the photographs taken were all out of focus.
   
   I tried changing a number of different settings (focus, light balance, shutter speed, face recognition, etc), but no crisp, focused image could be produced. Consulting the owners manual offered little help as it contained limited troubleshooting advice surrounding issues involving focusing. Restoring default settings or putting the camera on autofocus still didn't help. I even tried changing subjects (close-up macro, distance, outdoors, etc). The camera repeatedly produced an out-of-focus image.
   
   i'm not sure what i can do with this camera now, except undertake warranty protection. I even bought a waterproof case for it since i planned to use it on a jet-ski. i guess that case is useless too.
   
   I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer's flaw or the camera was previously damaged by the seller prior to its delivery.
   
   Buyer beware.



5. I bought this camera for my wife after her Olympus crapped out. That's another story. This one has twice the megapixals at half the price. It operates about like another Canon I own, but has a much larger display. My wife may never use most of the features, but at least she uses it to make very nice photographs.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver).

1. The Pros:
   I've owned this for about 6 weeks now and really just love it. I also own a Nikon D200 and several lenses for the brunt of my photography needs but I really needed/wanted a small pocket camera that would take nice photos and good video. This is an excellent compliment to a DSLR.
   
   If this were my only camera, I would probably be missing the longer zooms, the wide angle that it covers is quite nice.
   
   My favorite feature though has to be the video and the on board controls for reviewing the videos. It is just perfect for this, I coach High School athletes in the Pole Vault and this little camera is my best assistant. I have taken hundreds of videos so far and it just performs perfectly.
   
   Battery life has been exceptional in my opinion.
   
   The Cons:
   As noted by other reviewers the on/off button is easy to hit by accident. So far I have not jammed the lens but I can see how easy it is to do. I have inadvertently turned the camera on in my pocket a number of times.
   
   Bottom Line:
   Highly Recommended Camera. You will love it.



2. IT IS THE BEST CAMERA AVAILABLE ON ITS SIZE AND PRICE. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE PICTURES AND THE CAMERA ITSELF.



3. This is a great product. I upgraded from my trustworthy SD410 for IS, 3" LCD and wide angle lens. It's definitely faster (DIGIC III) than my old camera with better focusing and face detection.



4. Canon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera is amazingly user-friendly. I love the large LSD viewer and the small size and weight of the camera. A lot of "bang" for the bucks.



5. Bought this camera from Costco first, the lens got stuck in the out position. Returned it and bought another one from Amazon.
   
   No problems so far. Takes great pictures, the 3" screen is nice. Image Stabilization works good enough to take good pictures from a moving boat. Not an easy thing to do.
   
   Price has come down since it was introduced making it a better deal.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.

1. I had been watching this product for 7 months before I finally got it. Love it. All the reviews are correct - this is one excellent camera.
   And the zoom in video mode makes movies that are clean & stable. When you want true clarity, ALWAYS invest in optical zoom.
   If you can handle it's puggy little package, you will not be disappointed with this product.



2. I just got this camera yesterday. So far, I think it is great with some amazing features. The zoom feature is outstanding. I can't believe how far I can zoom. Most of the pictures I have taken are crisp and clear. When I messed around with some of the settings though, some were a bit blurry but I'm sure that is just me trying to figure out all the features and settings of the camera. When we were shopping around for a camera, one of the biggest things we were looking for was shutter speed. We wanted a camera that can take several pictures fast withing a second or two. This camera is pretty good with that, but again, when I messed around with the settings, I must have made it slow down. Of course, this can be fixed by going back to the default settings which is very easy. My main problems which are very small is that the direcions are very confusing. I'm basically learning how to operate the camera and the features by messing around with it myself. I tried to read the instructions, but it is very confusing since there are so many features. Another small problem I'm having is that we can't figure out how to attatch the lens cover and its strap to the actual camera. The lens cap also seems to come off very easily so if you buy this camera, be sure you have it on the right way and don't let small kids get near it. I also don't know how long regular batteries will last, but the camera itself came with 4 AA batteries that died out very quickly so they may have been cheap batteries, or maybe the camera takes up a lot of battery power, but then again, I have not put it down all day yesterday and today. It does not come with a rechargable battery or cord to recharge batteries so it would be smart to keep extra batteries around if necessary. Some of the best things about this camera is that it came with its own memory card which I thought was great. It can only hold a few pictures, but it was an accessory that I did not expect it to come with. You can also purchase a seperate accessory flash to attatch to the top of the camera in the event you may need extra lighting. The camera also lets you shoot movies in which you can zoom. There is also stereo sound which is pretty clear. One of the best features is the ability to take a pic in black and white and have certain things in the background in color. I thought this was great as was the fact that you could adjust and change colors in still shots. I could not possibly explain all the features, but the camera is worth the money and I highly recommend it to anyone.



3. I own several Canon cameras not because I am loyal, but because they have been good products. I had read about problems with battery life and the battery cover being plastic and also covering the memory card on the S5. I have found that the battery life is fine (NiMH), and after installing a 8GB memory card, I am not sure why I would need to change it. It holds about a year's worth of pictures (2000+) and if you shoot movies, you can film for an hour. This makes a plastic cover a non-issue if it was one to start. I manage the memory card through the USB slot.
   
   Camera operation is easy (after you master all the features), and the picture quality if good even when using the digital zoom. The dedicated movie button is very convenient.
   
   This is my snapshot camera so I am not concerned with minor technical variations. None have stood out to me. Focusing and IS work well, and I love being able to zoom when making movies. Some cameras don't.
   
   Now for a few things to consider. You can't imprint the time/date on the picture. They don't claim you can, but it would be nice. Nikons do.
   
   My camera gives no reasonable warning about the battery charge. It displays a warning message, and then quits. Have charged batteries at the ready.
   
   Be careful with low light pictures at high zooms (S5 is 12X). This is a problem with all zoom cameras including the S5. The good news is that the flash works very well. If you want to use an external flash (don't buy one until you have tried the built-in), make sure it is one of the ones compatible with the S5. Others work, but aren't as tightly integrated.
   
   Rather than having a lens cover that pops off easily (lens extension), I would rather they have disabled turning power on if the lens cover were attached.
   
   This camera is complicated which also means powerful. It is for the advanced amateur, but can be used as point-and-shoot which wastes many of its capabilities. I am personally quite happy with the unit.



4. I upgraded from an Powershot AS70 to this camera so the jump was quite a big one. What a wonderful camera. The shutter lag is immensely shorter. I've only had the camera for 2 weeks so don't have a lot to say except that I recommend it completely.



5. I've had this camera for about 2 months now. Overall, very satisfied with the performance other than the noise level when using ISO>800. Great movie mode w/ the ability to take stills while recording a movie (this is the main reason I didn't get a full DSLR). The S5 got even better with the addition of a Sunpak PZ40 flash and lensmateonline.com adapter w/ Raynox 6600 wide angle converter. I recommend this set up for anyone not needing a DSLR.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver).

1. First of all, I had this camera for a year and two (2) months, and I must say, during the time I had this camera in my hand, it was the BEST and yes I really mean that. Besides the canon we also had a sony (Cyber-shot DSC-T70/B)and as Sad as I am to say within 2weeks of gettin the sony it was sold and everyone in my household uses my canon. Beautiful shots have been taken with this camera and it has never failed, from my moving dog to jumping nephew and new years fireworks. If anyone complains bout this camera, then something is wrong with them(they proably dont know how to operate it). Im glad that I was told to buy this camera from the sales guy, so after a year and 2 months of taking wonderful pictures, I have decided to give him to my family members and move on to the sibling (790).
   But If anyone wants to buy this camera, I'll tell them go for it, wonderful pictures for a point and shoot.



2. After much research to find a high quality, reasonably priced compact digital camera to replace my bulkier Nikon 8700, I chose the SD750. The size and feel of the camera were great as were the menus and options. However, the performance left much to be desired as the pics taken during the 3 weeks I had the camera were poor. With picture quality being the most important factor when selecting a camera, I was disappointed to see the SD750 repeatedly blurring faces of people who were not the main subject of a photo as though the camera was unable to capture different depths in the same photo. I tried multiple settings without success and consulted my local Wolf Camera for options to improve performance, but had no success. I'm sticking with my Nikon 8700 which, despite its size, still takes great pics and has served me well for 3+ years.
   
   I'll give Amazon credit for an efficient and easy refund process.



3. I bought this camera to carry in a shirt pocket and take nice pictures. It does exactly that, very nicely. I take close up pictures of flowers, outdoor vistas, and pictures of friends. I learned about the camera at [...], there is an excellent review there. I bought a spare Canon battery, but haven't had much need for it, unless you take a lot of flash pictures you may be fine with a single battery.



4. I bought this camera so I could take pictures when I'm flying. I needed something that was small enough to put in a pocket, but could still take a decent picture to send to my family. I gave the camera four stars because there are a few cameras around that have a higher optical zoom. For me the digital zoom isn't much good. All in all, this camera is an exceptional value and performs extremely well. If you are looking for an ultra-compact point and shoot, you should definitely consider this one.



5. nice big LCD screen! pictures comes out great on this camera! camera is compact, thin and beautiful. i have it for over 2 years and i love it. easy to carry and easy to view pictures on it. price have drop quite a bit since i bought it. u will not be disappointed, good value and quality. very reliable too!

5 comments about Canon PowerShot SD850 IS 8.0 MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.

1. After reading numerous reveiws I decided to buy this camera. The picture quality is very good. The A/V out digital slot doesn't snap close but I guess I can live with that. Otherwise I think it was a great buy.



2. I love this camera!!! Fits well in my hand but yet the buttons are still large enough that they are not difficult to locate. So easy to use and takes great pictures.



3. PROS:
   1. It is a dummy cam.
   2. Small
   3. Takes decent picture.
   
   CONS:
   1. It is a dummy cam.
   2. Shutter lag
   3. Tiny sensor translates to unusable above ISO-200
   4. One dead pixel in my LCD.



4. This is the best digicam i have ever used.It takes great pictures on the beach.The colors are excellent so is the image stabilisation mode.



5. This camera has great features. By far the best feature that I have seen on a camera of this size is the macro feature. You can get incredibly close to an object and the camera picks it up. Our company uses this camera in our inspection dept. to document small blemishes on components. I have not seen another camera that can pick up detail at such close range.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver).

1. I bought it for my wife as a gift. I have a SD200 and have used it for several years. My wife loves her new SD1000. It is very easy to use and takes very nice snap shots.



2. I've just received my elph canon sd1000 and so far no complains, in fact, Im really happy with it. It captures every little detail in the exact light of the moment, I was surprised. I absolutely love the colors, I took a picture of my cocker spaniel while sunset and WOW soooo beautiful!!! This is my first camera that has its own battery and battery charger and what a relief! It was a pain to use alkaline batteries, not convenient at all. The price and quality of this camera makes it a must-have!!!!!! Trust the reviews.



3. Overall it is nice camera, and it is good value for the money.
   though I found 2 faults:
   1. from the instance I shoot until the picture is set it takes some time. especially when the light conditions are poor.
   2. the date only appears at poor quality pictures. on high quality u can't add the date :-<



4. This camera replaced a very similar Nikon camera which I found very lacking in controls and useability. This Canon is quite frankly the best snapshot camera I have ever owned. It take great photos in all lighting conditions and gives the user the ability to modify ISO speed settings to stop motion in low lighting. The feature set and intuitiveness is far beyond any of the competitors products. I highly recommend this camera.



5. if you want a slick, and small camera you can put in ur pocket with good picture quality, this is the one! beautiful thin camera! price is dropping very fast on this one! good buy!
