Actually I bought this camera for my son, for his birthday and he LOVES it.
He takes it everywhere, it’s so handy and easy to take along…it fits in your pocket.
The pictures are great, (probably because most are of my Granddaughter) and the
video is awesome. Would I buy one for me? Yes

This camera is the epitome of the awesome attributes of modern technology. It is no less than miraculous that they can have such a quality product with so many features in such a small camera. This camera will fit into any size pocket you would want it to. It is easy to use, produces high quality pics that can be enlarged. so far can’t find anything we don’t like about it.

Good optics, Wide angle great for interiors and landscapes, excellent features, the menus and on screen viewing make for easy access and encourage the use of the options, high quality color rich photos. The only down side I have found is the off/on button is sometimes difficult to operate.

I took this out of the box, charged it up and took 10 pictures. The noise was awful at 400 ISO and the pictures looked like the color had been desaturated. Also has a plastic body that feels cheap. The touch screen was not as responsive as I expected it to be, but I may just be spoiled by my iPhone and expecting too much on that account – it did work I just had to apply a little more pressure. I put it back in the box within an hour and returned it. My Canon SD1100IS takes a better picture even without the upgraded tech features.

I bought this camera to replace my SD800IS. I thought, “better zoom, HD video, more mega pilels, this camera should be better than mine.” Well I was wrong. This camera has a nice design and the HD video is really nice, but that is where it ends. Just about every photo I took with this camera was fuzzy and out of focus, the lines are not crisp, and the colors muted. I took the same photo from my SD800IS and the SD980IS and the 800IS was better every time, the colors were deeper, lines more crisp, and it was in focus. I have owned several Canon cameras, the 980IS was going to be my 4th. I have never had anything but good performance from them, until this one. So I am returning the 980IS and sticking with my SD800IS.
