This camera rocks
I love this camera. It is small, has all of the features I want, and has worked flawlessly. I liked it so much, I got it for my sister as a gift and she loves it as well. Hers has received A LOT more use and the switch that goes between playback/video/camera mode is getting a bit of wear (sometimes, the camera is confused what mode it is in), but that's the only issue -- and she sort of abuses her camera (no case, etc.), so I think that kind of result might be expected. Otherwise, this camera is great. If this camera died today, I'd buy it again but unfortunately I can't because they don't make 3.2mp models anymore :( Canon Powershot Great camera, takes wonderful shots of your memories without requiring a great detail of experience. Great product por a nice price This product is great. I've compared it with much expensiver cameras, and the desing, material and pictures are really good, besides the price is very afordable. I trully recomend it. LCD Broken The camera takes wonderful pictures. I purchased two for my adult sons in December 2005. As of right now, both have broken view screens. This seems to be a major design problem for this camera. Excellent for daylight, night shots, and macro mode but flash shots cause terrible red eye. Since the top reviewers on this product covered the camera fairly well I'll only add some points they didnt mention that I think should be addressed. For almost two years now I have had my photos listed in the Customer Image section above to give people an idea of the quality of the pics. The issues that I have had with the top reviewer are listed in the comment section nder his review. Pros: - Macro feature is pretty good for this type of camera. Snapshots of flowers provide exceptionally well detail. - Vivid feature enables the colors to come out much more richer. This is great for taking some floral pics or especially when taking sunset shots. - Night mode enables you to take some really cool pictures of a variety of things; fireworks, Las Vegas night life. Make sure to have a tripod and modify the shutter speed for some photos. - Manual mode can allow you to control the shutter speed, color (b/w, vivid, sepia) and more. - Video mode really comes in handy when you either left the video camera at home or decided to just use this as your video camera. It has built in sound as well. Different quality and sizes of video are available depending on the space on your SD card and if you plan to email the videos. Cons: - Red eye as a result of the bright flash is terrible. Almost every indoor flash picture comes out with too much red eye. The red eye feature simply doesnt work well enough. This is the main reason why I reduced the rating by two stars. My wife is so annoyed with the red eye results that she wants to get a new camera. So this is something to reall consider. - No battery meter. You wont know that the camera is running low on battery until its about to die. You would have to remember to charge it after a lot of usage or bring a spare charged battery in case. | |
