Is what I expect from a consumer digital camera

Submitted by unknown on 4/27/2005 10:33:09 PM

PROS: - IS - 10x zoom - LCD with more pixels - tripod mount narrow to the lens axis - pop-up flash - good balance between CCD size and his resolution resulting little noise in low light conditions - dedicated buttons - DIGIC processor - work with both type I and II of CF - price!

CONS: - plastic body - no hot-shoe - no AF assist lamp

PROS: Zoom, battery life is amazing, lots of room to grow due to numerous features

CONS: Price, wish the LCD was just a bit larger

Extremely versatile and it's fun

PROS: 10X lens Image Stabilization device really works Good style/design

Great quality, lots of features

PROS: Versatility, lots of great features, relatively easy to use--even to a digital camera beginner. Image stabilizer is very useful.

CONS: Price. Needs more power efficiency (uses batteries too quickly). Hard to hold with the LCD out.

Go get it......

PROS: Excellent camera, feature rich.. new ultrasonic motor, 10x zoom, stabiliser... Suitable for beginners and professionals

CONS: 3.2 megapixels... should at least be 4, then it would be perfect.

10X with Image Stabilization Must have!

PROS: If you don't want to shell out over $1K for a SLR camera and you will just print 5 X 7 or 4 X 6 prints, this camera is for you. It has many "mini" features of a SLR with its manual controls. 10X zoom is just a joy to use. Using NiMH batteries sure beats those little proprietary batteries in those compact point and shoots. Plus, you can't beat the sharp photo quality of a Canon!

CONS: My only beef- the chance that your lens cap will get lost, consequently smudges on the lens. But it has a strap so you just tie it to the camera.

PROS: Between the 10x Zoom, Image Stabilization, and image quailty, you photos will look great! Lots of Features. Easy to configure. Intuitive. That zoom lens is awesome. Battery-Life - Great- 400mb on NiMH Rechargables. IMAGE STABILIZATION! No more scratches on your LCD! Diopter (for those of us with poor vision). Essentially, this camera will help you shoot really great photos.

CONS: Takes a while to auto-focus in low light condition.

PROS: Image stabilization is a near miracle! Zoom motor is VERY fast. Images are near perfect. Camera nearly foolproof to take great shots.

CONS: Writing to memory not the fastest with a regular CF card.
