5 Stars New Camera
This particular camera is excellent, especially for the price. I had actually bought this to record a concert,(Nine Inch Nails). did really good, besides the poor lighting that went with the ballroom. Did not help what so ever. Got great audio. Got great videos. So if looking to buy a great camera to do a great job I would choose this one.

5 Stars Great Product
Great camera for first-time user of digital cameras. Easy to use. Clear photos. Wonderful service.

2 Stars MY FIRST USED CAMERA
WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA I KNEW IT WAS USED SLIGHTLY AND AFTER IT ARRIVED I DID NOT SEE ANY USE INSTRUCTION (MANUAL)BOOKLET WITH IT I TRIED TO USE MY EXPERIENCE WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA I HAD WHICH IS SONY WAS TOTALY DIFERENT, I CALLED THE SELLER AND LEFT A MESSAGE AND HE OR SHE DID NOT RETURN MY CALL, I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE SENT THE INSTRUCTION WITH IT BUT I AM STILL TRYING TO LEARN ABOUT IT,MY ADVISE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BUY USED ELECTRONIC MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR USER MANUAL, IT WILL HELP AND SAVE YOU TIME AND HEADACH.

5 Stars Great Zoom
I had this camera for several month now and discovered that the optical zoom is a great feature.

If you want cheap camera with great abilities – this is your chance. You would not be able to create super effects that $1000 camera can do, but this one is great for simple point to shoot.

It is not very light camera and the battery life is not so great, since it is AA batteries we are talking about. But if you have rechargeable batteries, like I do, it helps a lot. I also have an additional pair of batteries with me when I have long shooting to do.

Remember to read all the features upfront. When it states in the review that it is take a few seconds for camera to recharge the flash – it is true, so if you don’t like it, then don’t buy this camera, but if it is not bothering you, than go ahead and make a purchase. I new that I will have this issue with flash, but it didn’t bother me, so I’ve got this camera.

One small thing that I don’t like is the opening for battery and memory card. It is not easy to get open and I afraid that might break at some point.

I would recommend this camera.

1 Star 1 trip, 2 Canon Camera Failures
On the 2nd day of my 5 month long trip to Mexico my Canon Xti failed to function. I needed a camera! I am in a small town, a 9 hour bus ride from a city. The best camera I could find was a Canon Powershot A470. I bought it. Four days later I got the “lens error restart camera” message and got it repeatedly. So, I’ll be without camera for the next four weeks. When I do get to the city the new camera I will be buying will not be a Canon. I begin to sympathize with the guy who gives negative reviews to all new Canon cameras, maybe he is performing a public service.Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)]]Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only)

4 Stars Worth it for the card
The 8GB SD card is great! I use it in my Canon XS DSLR and it works wonderfully. The card reader is garbage. Out of a 100 photo transfer you can bet that 15-20 of them will be loaded on the computer corrupted. Take out the reader and put it back in and those files will transfer fine. I have ditched the reader and just run a USB cable from my camera to the laptop, 100% successful transfer every time.

5 Stars 8 GB Chip for Camera

My spouse is very happy with this purchase.

It helps him take as many pictures as he can without downloading them immediately to his PC.

Thank You for your good business.

5 Stars Great card and handy USB
The USB card reader is very nice to have. You never know when a friend will have some pictures you want on your computer but you don’t have the right cable. Now you just slide the card in and instant download.

3 Stars Beware the USB reader. (EDIT)
Love the memory card, hate the usb reader. I love how much space I get through the 8gb memory card, and with paying just over $20, it was a really good deal. I especially liked the USB reader. It’s extremely convenient and requires no wires! Here’s the problem: Just like the other user, mine seems faulty as my images has all of a sudden disappeared after connecting the reader to my computer. This is a big problem. I’m just lucky the pictures weren’t important! So be wary of this! Other than that, the seller shipped my item lightening fast… although we are only a city away, it came the next day!

***Edit*** 4 Stars, nix the 3.

After reading this review, the seller contacted me and ended up sending me a new usb reader. It seems that the one they sent me works much better(pretty much, I haven’t had any inconvenience with this one). They were quick and sent it fast. I am satisfied, but not wholy because I realized after I wrote the first review that some pictures from overseas(very important) were damaged as well. Customer service is awesome though.

5 Stars 8G SD card and Adapter
Very convenient adapter–plugs into any pc with a USB port for easy download. 8G sd card is perfect!
