I had the camera for about 1 year after which it's shutter stopped opening fully. Sometime it will open half or sometime not at all. I searched web about the issue and it seems that it is known issues in canon models.
I received this camera as a gift in 2007. It cost $120 and about 6 weeks to get repaired. Like other reviewers, I experienced a lens opening failure. The lens cap would not open all the way. I got it back and the USB connection is dead. I have to use an external card reader to retrieve photos.
I received this camera for my anniversary from my husband. This effectively means the camera is dead and can only be repaired by Canon for $99. I loved how easy it was to use and the picture quality. Unfortunately, a year and a half after purchase, I got the fatal "lens error". For such an expensive product, it should have a much longer life. I will not be buying Canon cameras again, which is sad because I loved this one and the previous Canon camera I owned (which is still going strong, despite being around 7 years old).
I have had this camera more than 2 years and I continue to be disappointed. It is not that small. I will keep this camera for videos and buy another for photos.
Don't use the flash and your pictures have a 50 50 chance of turning out. I tried several different sd cards thinking it was slow because of them but it has made no difference. It is good outdoors and for Video but indoors it is just bad.
I miss out on way to many photos waiting on this camera flash to be ready or just to warm up for the next photo. Use the flash and it is ungodly slow. I have had 100 dollar cameras that warm up quicker.
I read here that people like how small it is. Pros for meGood outdoor photosGood video clipsAA batteries(use enerloops)ConsSLOOOOOOWbad indoor photoskind of bulky
The 10x-zoom on this camera and the macro feature is what sold me. I've had this camera for about a year and I still like it. Shots from long distances and close up shots look pretty good plus it has manual photo settings and a built-in video camera. Sure it burns through the batteries, but most auto-zoom /auto-focus cameras do. The solution is called: rechargeable batteries. It's not bad for an 8 mega-pixel but now you can get a 14 to 16 mega-pixel pretty cheap. As fast technology is moving I pretty much figured this was going to be an obsolete camera within a few years after I bought it.
