excellent value
excellent value for price. Clear sharp images, good color. the camera is easy to use with a short learning curve. It is small and light. there is a wide variety of lenses available both from canon and third party vendors. the only drawback is the view finder which should be extended slightly further from the body of the camera.
Works like a charm!
This is my first digital SLR camera and I was a bit hesitant at first to spend almost $500 on a camera. However, it was well worth the amount. I've had a lot of fun with this little camera and I've already taken some pretty amazing shots. It's real user friendly. A real small body so it's easy to travel with and the battery power is outstanding. I will purchase a different lens soon. The one that comes with the body is alright if I had to rate that I'd probably give it three and a half stars. I've had a real hard time with trying to focus on people with that lens when trying to take portraits. Other than than that it creates sharp images. I suggest this to anyone who is new to the digital SLR cameras.
enjoy!

happy BUT>>>>>>
happy happy happy happy BUT I have a hardware problem, the flash lid is not popping up and give an error sign. So, I sent it to Cannon and they were absolutely wonderful about fixing the problem in a timely manner. Got my camera back,......same problem. POO POO I still love my camera. It takes awesome pictures. I am sure my malfunction is a fluke and I would definitely buy the camera again.
Very nice transaction
Though this camera is not as good as the 30 which I have since upgraded to it is a great starter camera. The review is a bit slow through pictures and I feel the camera is a bit small in my hands other than that it was wonderful.
Saving lots of $$$
I am saving a lot of money by learning how to take professional photographs of my son instead of paying a "professional" and spending a load of money on half-decent pictures. This camera is definitely paying for itself and I'll be looking into purchasing lenses in the future as my skills and knowledge grow.
