Excelent Camera!
- Pros: Small and compact, this camera can go anywhere! I bring the camera with me every day as a new habit of taking random pictures. Other than that, this camera is also good for any other occasions! The slick color is definitely an eye catcher! It also takes great pictures! I never have to worry about blurry pictures anymore!
- Cons: None so far.
- Other Thoughts: No touch screen, no gimmicks, no fun! This camera gets the job done, no doubt, but it's no iphone either!
Average
- Pros: Cool look, cool color choices
- Cons: Image quality is not the Canon quality I've come to expect. My old Elph SD20 images are nicer than this camera's higher MP images.
The camera feels cheap in my hand.
I was surprised that it was a Canon camera. If the name had been stripped off I'd have thought it was a nice looking Kodak.
I returned this unit and purchase the Elph 780 which is a bit more money but far, far, far superior in every way to this camera.
Incredible
- Pros: Was a birthday gift for my fiance. She loves how its quick to power up, LCD screen ready to go instantly. It takes fantastic pictures and is perfect for her small fingers. the viewfinder is nice, the options are very nice. It looks fantastic.
- Cons: none at all
- Other Thoughts: the best purchase Ive made from newegg in years. This is the top of the line compact digital camera. It looks great, works great and has zero compatability issue.
