5 Stars Great camera, great price.
Well reviewed, great little camera at the best price around on Amazon. I wanted a camera that would produce great pictures, be small and easy to use, and also be relatively durable for a child. This is the one that all my research pointed me to. So far we have not been disappointed.
5 Stars It just takes good pictures
Easy to use,very good battery life,Pictures are true to color. Red or blue looks very nice. 1 to 2 secs between shots, with flash on 4 to 6 secs,start up time is 1.5 to 2 secs. I use 2 aa energizer lithium batterys or 2650 to 2900mah rechargable batterys and can get 600 pictures. A 2 gig sd card san disk ultra II or III will give you about 750 pictures. The lcd screen is not the greatest but not bad for the price,it just will not show you how good your pictures really are. This camera does not have image stabilzertion but still does very well with out it.
3 Stars This will do
Decided we would go with the cheaper model since the last one locked up on vacation and, as you know, cameras – no matter what you pay – are disposable items, when something goes wrong, there is no one to fix them, you simply buy a new one. This model is less expensive than our previous Cannon, and definitely feels cheaper. Case design, material etc, feels cheap but sturdy, it is a nice size, and takes the same memory chips as the previous one (different battery though). The controls are almost the same as the other, and it says it will take almost the same range of pictures as the higher end Cannon – less zoom though. There viewfinder is also missing on this model. As far as the purchase, everything was great – came as promised, etc, well packed, everything was there and worked. We have yet to use it other than to download pictures from the previous camera. Software was the same, so overall this is a good purchase so far.
4 Stars Best of the cheap
I am a real estate agent so I have been through a lot of point and shoot cameras. While I use a Rebel SLR to take my main pics, I chose this one to take anywhere since it’s small enough to pack and forget. The price is right, the quality is great, and it’s easy to use. Very intuitive. It is also easy to download pics to a computer. Actually this is my 2nd one. My kids dropped the first one and the zoom motor was broken, frozen in place. I can’t really blame the camera given that they dropped it from pretty high onto a hard tile floor. I figured that my shipping, return, hassle, etc. would cost more than the camera so I just immediately ordered a new one. That’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars. But still, at this price, it can’t be beat, in my opinion.
4 Stars May be the perfect affordable digital camera.
I have several more expensive Canon cameras and bought this one for a student. I ran it through its paces first, and came away with a very favorable impression for a 10MP camera that sells for barely over $100. It is very easy to use and the picture quality is excellent. I like that it uses AA batteries which are easy to find anywhere. In addition to its standard “automatic” mode it has several options for “custom” modes. It has the normal “macro” setting for close-ups, but it has even another mode for very extreme close-ups which I find handy. It also records good video with sound, and you can play it back in various slow motion speeds if you want, in the camera or on a big screen TV. All in all I give it very high marks and especially for its price range. Its only disadvantage I could find is it is just a bit thicker than other small pocket cameras.
It may be the slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created, but the impact couldn’t be bigger. The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH captivates the senses with bold saturated colors and a daringly original design that matches the intensity of Canon’s most innovative camera technology. Even when picture-taking conditions seem pretty unforgiving, you’ve got Canon on your side. So the shots you used to miss are the images you’ll now be sharing, and the movies you never took before will be HD unforgettable.

5 Stars Great Camera
Just go to auto mode and shoot away. One of the smartest Auto modes I’ve used in any camera. Picture is kind of grainy at 100% but who cares. I don’t upload 4000×3000 images anyway. Great, solid feel. Buttons are small but still very much usable.
4 Stars Small and Portable
I LOVE this camera, the quality of the pictures are incredible and the zoom is outstanding. My only issue is the static it has before you snap a photo and after you record a video. Aside from that I won’t trade it for any other
5 Stars Great little camera
This little camera is awesome! It fits great in my purse, it takes beautiful pictures and videos and is very easy to use.
5 Stars Love it!
I love this camera! It takes beautiful pictures. I highly recommend it. But be ready to read the manual. The things this camera can do are amazing! I still have yet to learn what all the buttons do. But then again, I’m not that technologically savvy.
5 Stars Pocket Camera
Easy to carry in your pocket. Image stabilization works well. Just finished two week vacation and batteries still have 3/4 charge.

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. MR FROM LOUISIANA
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)
Canon Rebel XS 10 1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF S 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 IS Lens Black
Ideal for a wide range of photographers from first-time digital SLR users to veteran photo enthusiasts, the new Canon EOS Rebel XS camera is designed to embody what you have come to expect from the EOS Rebel series — a fast, non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-use camera that produces excellent images and starts emerging photographers off on the right foot. Immediately, photographers will take notice of the camera’s Optical Image Stabilized kit lens for crisp focus, compensating for camera shake from unsteady hands or a moving vehicle. The new Rebel model also incorporates Canon’s DIGIC III image processor, 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, Live View, Auto Lighting Optimizer, 7-point wide-area autofocus (AF) sensor and 3.0 frames per second continuous JPEG burst rate where the number of consecutive shots in a burst is only limited by the capacity of the flash memory card in the camera.

4 Stars First time digital SLR owner
The Canon Rebel XS is my first digital SLR camera. By no means is it my first Canon. I owned a Canon AE-1, which I was crazy about.
The camera appears to fairly well built, and you have a huge number of lenses from which to choose depending on how much you want to spend. Make sure you purchase lenses that are EF-S, you want the stabilized lenses.
I’m having a little trouble with the auto focus, but I think it’s my problem. Since I’ve only used the camera once, I need to practice more. I’ve ordered a detachable flash to go on the camera. I want the ability to bounce the flash for certain pictures.
All in all I pleased with my purchase. I’ll be even happier when I can purchase the Canon EF-S 70-250mm lense.
5 Stars Snap
Canon had never let me down! This is a great camera for both inspiring and professional photographers. It is easy to use and very reliable.
5 Stars Great camera
This is a great first DSLR. It offers just enough options to begin with, and although it has some limitations it is awesome learning tool.
3 Stars I need more of a beginner camera…..
The reviews I read before purchasing this camera made me believe this would be very easy to use and “a great beginner” camera….Although I really do love this camera, I think I need to take a class before truely getting out of it what I planned. I’m excited to have an SLR camera, but can’t use more than the “auto” mode.
5 Stars Good deal
for $500, this is a much better deal than the point and shoot canon I bought at $330 early last year. I have a toddler. The point and shoot is too slow to capture his move and smile and the details of his face. Point and shoot is very bad under low light. If you have a baby at home, if you can afford $200 extra, please get this $500 deal. I regret I did not buy it in the first place. I could have captured much better pictures when he was a little infant.
