This camera is pretty good. I was upgrading from a 4mp camera so it was quite a jump in picture quality. There are only 2 things I don't like. One, you have to hold in the button for a few seconds till it takes the picture. It makes it a little hard to catch my son doing something cute, because he sees the initial red light and thinks I'm done and comes running to see himself in the little screen. Two, you have to be holding still when you take the picture or it comes out blurry. Other than that it is great. I love the red eye fixer that fixes the red eye right after you take the picture. My daughter seems to get red eyes a lot in pictures, so it is really coming in handy.

I have been researching cameras for about a year now and I'm so thrilled with my decision. This camera takes crystal clear pictures, it's so easy to use and it is so tiny...it fits in my pocket. The price was a great deal. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Love my green camera!!!

I have been pleasantly surprised by this camera. I just upgraded from my previous Elph (never give a 2yr old your camera). But, I first tried an Olympus, nope, sent it back. I decided to stay with the elph line and I found this. It is even better than the original camera that I loved! There is very little lag time between pushing the button and the camera actually taking the pic, and I mean "very" little. Focuses great. Nice screen size. Overall, as you can tell, I would definitely buy this again if my daughter breaks this one too.

This is my second Canon digital camera, my husband paid alot more for the first with alot less mega pix. but I broke the LCD screen by accident so had to purchase another and was pleased with this one I found at Walmart that even came with a memory card. It is not as durable as the one we paid alot more money for but it's a great value with 10 mp I am happy with the purchase.

I had bought a more expensive and complicated Canon and returned it to get this one. I love it. I had an SD 600 just like it and wanted an upgrade. It is easy to use and has all the features I need. I like taking pictures and travel a lot. This camera meets my needs. The auto feature is a time saver and has been right on so far.

I was looking for a compact camera that would be easy to use and small enough to stick in my pocket. I have 2 small children and we are always on the go, so this camera was perfect because it is not bulky and it takes great pictures!!!! The pictures turn out very clear and it can even capture the kids while they are on the move! :) I was a little concerned about the battery because in the past all of my digital cameras have taken AA batteries, but the battery stays charged for a really long time! I bought a spare battery to keep in my camera case though because I don't like to be somewhere and have a camera with a dead battery since the battery is a different size and you can't pick one up just anywhere!

I am still tring to figure out all the functions, but so far love all of them. I have a very active 3 year old and have gotten some great action shots. I love the auto focus mode and the continueous shots modes. Great in low level lighting. We leave for the beach next week so I am ready to try out the sand and sunset modes.

i've loved the elph series of canon cameras for years now - this is my 3rd - it exceeds my expectations with the added stability and macro shots - finally close-ups that aren't shakey! i love this camera! Came with a 4gb sandisk sd card which is excellent - i used to always use a 1gb and would never run out of shots unless i did a bunch of video so now i should be good to go always!

I bought this for my wife to have something she could throw in her purse and take to the Zoo or something. We have only had this about a week, but from the pictures I have taken both indoors and out I am very impressed with the quality of pictures this little bugger takes. I am very picky about noise in the pictures and although I have not printed any out as of yet, blown up on the 19'' computer screen will tell ya everything you want to know about how the shot looks. This camera has an AUTO feature which I mainly use for everything except KIDS moving. For that I use the Kids & Pets mode and even indoor shots look very even on the skin tones. Keep in mind this it not going to take pictures like an digital SLR, but very good pictures for every day use. I do wish it had more zoom 3x is not much. I have a Panasonic w 12x and takes the best pictures I have ever seen a consumer product take. This is a good compliment to it to.
