The Canon Powershot 14.7mp is the best. It goes any and everywhere. Its features are unlimited. The price $299.00 is great, unbeatable. Pictures and videos are remarkable. I have a Canon Powershot 5.0mp, it still works great. I paid $500.00 for it when it first came out years ago. I am totally 100% happy with my Canon Powershot 14.7 mp. I would recommend it, it is great.

Canon PowerShot SD960IS Silver - No such luck for me.
I want to love this camera so much, it hurts to return it!! For the first time, there is a PS that all controls laid out just right, with all the dials and buttons just like I wanted. But big disappointment:
1. Images are too soft. It did not matter what I did, tweaking it to the max, the G10 produces worse images than my old Canon A620. There is fair amount of noise too at any ISO speed.
2. Shot to shot time is too long. I can probably live with this, but again, I am not happy with the images.
I love how it feels in my hand and the all the features that come with it. I read a lot of reviews and everyone loved it. What's wrong with mine? Was I the unlucky one who got a bad copy?

Canon PowerShot SD780IS Gold - Canon SD780: Finally found the ultimate hybrid camera
I've had this camera now for about a week. The main reason for this purchase is the 720p HD video feature. I've been playing with all the recent point and shoot camcorders such as the Kodak Zi6 and the Creative Vado HD. I also have the not-yet-released-in-the-US Canon SX1 which does full 1080p HD video. I have also tried the Sony T500.
The first thing you'll notice is how small this camera is. To date, its the smallest Canon camera yet almost to the point that its difficult to handle. I'd call it Ultra-compact and this thing can fit anywhere. The button are more flush than any other Canon which makes button finding and feeling a bit cumbersome.
I wasn't expecting much from this camera in terms of performance but it blows all other point and shoot camcorders out of the water. The colors are much more accurate and the video overall is much smoother. Part of this due to the image stabilization feature. The toy cameras do not have this feature which is a huge necessity for something so small and light. It handles low-light situations better as well. Search SD780 on youtube for samples. Make sure you click the HD button.
The photos are secondary to me but they can be good in the manual mode. Using it with higher ISO setting will introduce noise. Then again, these photos are much better than the point and shoot camcorders. These are actually usable.
So with the point and shoot camcorders around the $200 mark (MinoHD, VAdoHD, Zi6), for $80 more (SD780) you get something that is much better overall.
+ Made in Japan and much better build quality than the toy camcorders
+ Removable SD storage card
+ Removable battery (uses the common NB-4L)
+ Image stabilization
+ Usable stills
+ Canon optics
+ Ultra compact (2/3 the size of a MinoHD)
+ Easy to use .MOV files
+ Stealth Black color
The only drawbacks I can think of are:
- Cannot use optical zoom during recording (let's hope this can be changed via firmware upgrade)
- Photos can be noisy and grainy at times
- Mono sound recordings

I like PowerShot Orange A470 Canon
It is almost as small as the Olympus XA2. I bought this camera after my hospital decided to go to a digital camera for wound documentation, after polaroid decided to quit making instant film for its cameras. The camera they decided to adopt was this one. I had my doubts, but after having used it, I really started to like it, and bought one for myself. Canon PowerShot A470 Orange is compact, uses AA batteries, and has a supermacro feature. The only bad thing is that there is no flash, or I haven't figured out how to use the flash while doing supermacro. Without a tripod, and no flash, not all of the shots could be held still enough in supermacro for sharp shots. I finally figured out how to use a LED pen flashlight to provide enough light for faster shutters peeds in super macro handheld shots. The images are clear and sharp. From Amazon I took advantage of the 2 GB SD card for free. I have yet to fill one up. This is the camera that goes with me all of the time. A great camera for not so much dough for those of us that like macro shots.
Great small and simple camera. We bought this camera for our daughter (< 10 year old). So far, nothing to complain about. Very simple to use, good quality pictures, small enough to fit in a pocket. And she has not broken Canon PowerShot A470 Orange yet.
Great deal for the money. I hate to say it, but you don't need to spend a lot to take acceptable pictures. The camera seems to do well in all lighting conditions and I've barely used the special modes. By the way, Canon PowerShot A470 Orange comes with 2 AA batteries and a 32MB card (at least you can take a few shots as soon as you open the box). I bought Canon PowerShot A470 Orange for under $110 with a free 2 GB card from Amazon. Great gift for kids or elderly parents.

Information about Canon SD1200IS Pink PowerShot
Great features, image quality issues. This is my third Canon and i was really looking forward to having all the latest tech updates in this model. However when taking pictures i noticed a certain softness in the focusing and quality seemed kind of grainy when viewed at %100. I compared identical pictures taken to with my old SD700IS and they were noticeably clearer and less noisy. I even compared them at similar resolution with no improvement. I even used a tripod and tried various exposure settings to see if i could make a difference. Maybe its a software thing or they are using different algorithms cause i noticed similar complaints from other users. I might try to order another one to see if Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Pink was just a fluke. At least i got a full refund. Good luck!
met my expectations and more. I owned an early canon digital and was interested in updating. After doing a lot of research, I settled on another canon. I was looking for wide angle, image stabilization and shooting speed. The SD880 did Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Pink all as well as provide a wonderful viewfinder. So far,after a month, I totally satisfied with the camera.
Takes expert photos so I don't have to. I asked a professional photojournalist for a recommended camera and found her advice was perfect. Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Pink takes expert photos so I don't have to. I just point and shoot. Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Pink knows to focus on the faces and adjust for indoor lighting. And the photo files are 4mg so I can blow them up big which I sometimes have to do. A cool feature is when taking a self-timed picture, you can set Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Pink to take 3 photos in a row. This was great for the holidays, taking a family portrait of 15 of us. Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Pink increased our chances of getting everyone smiling. A great camera!

Canon PowerShot A2100IS for you
Powershot SX10IS. Very nice camera... This is the best PS camera I have used so far.
Pros: Very good picture quality.
Picture quality is still amazing when fully zoomed.
Does very well with moving objects.
I have not had a single picture with Red Eye yet.
Cons: No camera bag!
Lens cap is a snap on that isnt connected to the camera making Canon PowerShot A2100IS very easy to lose.
Camera sometimes takes a little bit too long to focus and snap shots.
Overall I feel this was a great buy and would buy Canon PowerShot A2100IS again in a second. As stated above, the picture qaulity is amazing and must be printed to see. If you dont want to break into the DSLR catagory then this is a very nice alternative at the top of the Point and Shot lines.
Fantastic Camera. I just received this camera after months of research.I narrowed Canon PowerShot A2100IS down between the sx10 and the fx28. I now know I made the right decision with the sx10. Any bad reviews on this product can only be for three reasons.
they are canon haters, they dont know how to operate the camera, or they received a defective camera. This camera focuses spot on quickly in light or dark areas.The picture quality is close to dslr quality. The movie mode is as good as my sony digital handy cam.The camera feels great in your hands and there are so many options that Canon PowerShot A2100IS is a great camera for photo enthusiasts. Canon PowerShot A2100IS is also a great point and shoot camera if you dont want to get into all of the options. The purple fringing everybody talks about is absent on regular size prints. If you blow them up the pictures look beautiful, with vivid scrumptious quality. If you purchase this camera make sure you buy the 4000 leather case made by canon for it. they go well togeather. Like I said dont listen to the negative feed back. True Canon PowerShot A2100IS doesnt have raw, But I know Canon PowerShot A2100IS will be available on wiki soon for a download. Dont hesitate get Canon PowerShot A2100IS now Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoomyou wont be disappointed.
Terrific Camera. Although the flash did not work on the camera, I did return Canon PowerShot A2100IS and exchanged Canon PowerShot A2100IS for another - no problem! The camera has met and exceeded my expectations! On of my primary drivers in choosing this camera was the 20X zoom - Canon PowerShot A2100IS is absolutely wonderful. The photos are crisp and the settings are many - haven't explored them all yet. The camera is somewhat heavier than I'm used to so I do have to steady my hand in taking shots. I would highly recommend Canon PowerShot A2100IS to others, especially those interested in the zoom feature.

SD1200IS Canon PowerShot Silver line
Everything I was looking for in a camera. I was looking for three features in a camera. I wanted a better than 4X optical zoom, a camera that records quality video (30fps with this camera), and replaceable 2AA batteries. I want to be able to swap out dead batteries instead of looking for someplace to charge them when I am in the woods. I am very happy with this camera. Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver is larger than most compacts and smaller than a SLR type camera. Happy medium.
Checked out in the store, now I want it!. I just saw this camera at a local store. I am looking to replace my Canon S5iS, which has horrible lag time for focusing with a flash... This one did much better in that department; still not super fast, but if you want that you have to get an SLR.
The really cool thing I wanted to mention is the impressive macro feature. The saleswoman held Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver so that Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver was touching my engagement ring, and then so that Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver was touching a key ring, and Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver was able to focus on my ring band and on the key itself that close. That to me is awesome! I use to work at said camera store and played with all of the cameras' features. This one surpassed all of the ones I tested.
Also, Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver has a nice big screen, although a viewfinder would be nice for backup. However that would cut down on the screen size.
Another nice thing is Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver takes 2 AAs, not 4 like my existing Canon. Overall Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver is a great camera- Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver even has manual modes on the dial which is always nice if you know what you're doing with them =)
I'd highly recommend it, but since I don't own Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver yet I only gave Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver 4 stars, incase I am missing a negative...
Nice Camera. I would rather see the worthiness of the product I bought. The money I paid and the quality of product. So , I never expect to have $1000-camera quality from the machine I paid around $200. Comparing apples to apples.
So, Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera is in that sense much better then the cameras in that range.
Nice looking, good quality point-and-shoot type camera which is good/fast/easy for family use.
I recommend Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver for the people who are not professional photography and would not want Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Silver miss the beauty of life.

Review about SD1200IS PowerShot Canon
All of that I waited. I have this wonderful camera only two weeks in my hand and I must to learn many of their functions, but until now the pictures and videos that Canon PowerShot SD1200IS produces seems to me superb.
I'm very happy with this purchase and also I'm sure that with practice, the results will be better.
Canon Powershot. I think this camera is awesome, the only reason I didn't give Canon PowerShot SD1200IS a 5/5 is because you have to manually lift the flash to use it...other then that I am very happy.
Very pleased!. Purchased around Thanksgiving 2008 for a good $50 less than in stores. Very impressed with the camera, easy to use and makes me look like I know what I am doing. I like Canon PowerShot SD1200IS .

PowerShot Canon A1100IS headache
Canon SD 1100...great point & shoot camera. I went from a Canon 60 to the SD1100. I am a novice at photography but this little camera makes Canon PowerShot A1100IS easy to shoot great photo's both outdoors and indoors. I just came back from a vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota and took about 75 pictures. All of them turned out great! Even the digital zoom pictures I took of Mount Rushmore turned out great. I love the size (fits in a small case on my belt and feels when shooting and I have large hands.
Great camera!
Excellent for a point-and-shoot, and now an excellent value. Now that Canon and its rivals are offering numerous compact and ultracompact point-and-shoot cameras in the 10-12 megapixel range, the price on this 8 megapixel unit has dropped dramatically. But don't be fooled by the notion that more megapixels is better -- in this class of camera, it's not necessarily true. Unless the sensor is larger, which Canon PowerShot A1100IS generally isn't, you will often not see any difference in the 10 and 12 MP cameras. In fact, you might get more noise. You are also likely to get a longer delay between shots. So if you are buying a high end digital SLR, sure, go for 12, 14, or now even 16 megapixels. But for a point-and-shoot compact, 7 or 8 MP is more than adequate.
This model offers 8 MP, face detection, and a variety of shooting modes that can be easily selected from a menu. Canon PowerShot A1100IS provides excellent results for everyday photography. Canon PowerShot A1100IS is also extremely compact and easily fits in a pocket or purse. If you want a camera to take along wherever you go, this is a must-have. It's also an incredible value, now available for as little as $160-$180.
If you buy this camera, note that Canon PowerShot A1100IS only includes a 32 MB memory card, which holds roughly 10-12 photos. You will certainly want to purchase a good, fast card. The SanDisk Extreme 4 GB works great and will hold over 1000 photos at the highest resolution (1800-2500 at lower image settings). You can now get one for $30-$45. Also, you may want to get an extra battery. Lenmar makes a good Canon equivalent that you can get for about $10. (Beware of no-name knockoffs that cost $2 or $3!)
Overall, excellent ultracompact point-and-shoot camera. Get this item to have with you all the time. (And save up $1000-$3000+ for a high-end digital SLR if you have serious, semi-pro photography needs).
Camera. Selected cheapest shipping method, and Canon PowerShot A1100IS arrived the next day! excelent service and the camera is a replacement for my previous SD 1000, which I also loved. Camera doesn't wash people out and takes excelent pictures for a point & shoot.

A480 Black MP Canon 10 crazy
Great Little Camera. I've owned digital SLRs for many years and I needed a P&S camera to take along for snapshot photos. This camera turned out to be the perfect choice for me. Canon A480 10 MP Black is so small Canon A480 10 MP Black can easily be carried anywhere. The photos are not as good as those from my SLRs, of course, but they are excellent, nonetheless. The point is, I can take this camera anywhere for any occasion and get the shot, whereas I can't and won't do that with the pro equipment.
There are several features I especially like, including manual controls, widescreen mode, time-lapse movie mode, macro mode and a remarkably useable digital zoom. The camera has enough manual controls to satisfy my need for tweaking, especially since I usually prefer the lowest ISO possible with flash forced 'off.' When I shoot in widescreen mode, I can view the photos on my 16x9 widescreen TV and they look great. As a matter of fact, I'm shooting in 16x9 widescreen format pretty much all the time now because of this capability. Digital zoom has changed--no longer do you get blocky images from the camera's blowing up a portion of the sensor's image. Due to the sensor's high megapixel count, the blown up portion no longer looks pixelated as in previous models. It's like having a telephoto lens inside the camera to get those shots at the rare times when it's needed. Macro mode performs so well that flower photos rival those from my SLRs. The camera also has an excellent movie mode, including a fun time-lapse feature.
Previous Canon sensors on P&S cameras were 'use at your own risk' when shooting above ISO 100. This camera's sensor has improved considerably by providing what I would call 'very good' photos at ISO 200, 'good' photos at ISO 400 and 'acceptable' shots at ISO 800. I use noise-reduction software to clean up photos, anyway, but I'm pleased that Canon has improved their sensor and in-camera software.
Couple all of these features with IS, which virtually eliminates shaking and blurry pictures, and Canon has another winner on its hands. I predict sales of this little gem will be off the charts.
Good point and shoot.. This camera was purchased for the Image Stabilization software Canon A480 10 MP Black has. Canon A480 10 MP Black is replacing a non IS camera and so far I am very pleased with its performance.
Meme. I bought this camera for my adult daughter. Canon A480 10 MP Black is easy to operate and takes great pictures. Glad I choose this camera.

The camera has enough manual controls to satisfy my need for tweaking, especially since I usually prefer the lowest ISO possible with flash forced 'off.' When I shoot in widescreen mode, I can view the photos on my 16x9 widescreen TV and they look great. As a matter of fact, I'm shooting in 16x9 widescreen format pretty much all the time now because of this capability. Digital zoom has changed--no longer do you get blocky images from the camera's blowing up a portion of the sensor's image. Due to the sensor's high megapixel count, the blown up portion no longer looks pixelated as in previous models. It's like having a telephoto lens inside the camera to get those shots at the rare times when it's needed. Macro mode performs so well that flower photos rival those from my SLRs. The camera also has an excellent movie mode, including a fun time-lapse feature.
Previous Canon sensors on P&S cameras were 'use at your own risk' when shooting above ISO 100. This camera's sensor has improved considerably by providing what I would call 'very good' photos at ISO 200, 'good' photos at ISO 400 and 'acceptable' shots at ISO 800. I use noise-reduction software to clean up photos, anyway, but I'm pleased that Canon has improved their sensor and in-camera software.
Couple all of these features with IS, which virtually eliminates shaking and blurry pictures, and Canon has another winner on its hands. I predict sales of this little gem will be off the charts.
Good point and shoot.. This camera was purchased for the Image Stabilization software Canon A480 10 MP Black has. Canon A480 10 MP Black is replacing a non IS camera and so far I am very pleased with its performance.
Meme. I bought this camera for my adult daughter. Canon A480 10 MP Black is easy to operate and takes great pictures. Glad I choose this camera.

Do you really love MP Silver A480 Canon 10 ?
Good battery life, easy to use. I purchased this to replace my 4 year old Kodak Easy Share. My favorite parts about this camera include the Kids and Pets setting, the ability to look through a viewfinder like a film camera, and the excellent battery life. I've been using the same batteries for over two months despite almost daily use of the camera. Some of the menu settings are a little complicated but most of Canon A480 10 MP Silver is fairly intuitive.
Great Little Camera. I am an old film guy who scoffed at digital but decided to buy this camera for my wife because of its "point and shoot" capabilities. The pictures she took on a recent vacation turned out great, and those that didn't resulted from operator error. For those of us who feel compelled to impose our "artistic" selves upon the photos we take, this little camera has enough controls to satisfy. The photo stabilization feature is great for those of us whose hands are not very stabilized any longer. Canon A480 10 MP Silver is also small, unobtrusive and light weight. Not a big old brick hanging on a string around your neck! I recommend this camera to just about any one who is at the beginner/intermediate level and want to create some very nice photos
GREAT CAMERA. [[ASIN:B0011ZCDKS Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom]. This is a great camera for the casual user. I bought this camera for my wife and she absolutely loves it! The new "easy function" mode is great! She even commented on how fast the camera takes mulitple shots compared to our old Sony Cybershot. Also, the full price including s&h was still $30-40 cheaper on Amazon compared to Circuit City and other electronic stores. We only had one slight drawback, the battery life. We used the AA batteries that came with the camera and after using the camera throughout the day from 10 am till 6 pm the low battery light came on. Fortunatley, we had an extra set of batteries and continued to enjoy taking pictures.
Overall, for the price, ease of use, the quality of pictures produce, this is a great camera! Great Buy! Get Canon A480 10 MP Silver and you will love it!

MP Canon Blue A480 Camera 10 Navy ok or not
Canon PowerShot A470. A really great camera,for a first time user. Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue is easy to use although Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue takes a little while to get used to how to operate and select the features. Stay away from the "Format" section - this will delete all your pictures. Also, you will need to buy a new memory card, preferably a 1G, as the one that comes with the camera only holds about 15 pictures. But other than these need to know tips you will enjoy using this camera. Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue will be good to buy a camera case as Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue doesn't come with one and you will need something to protect your camera as you carry Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue around.
Canon Camera- Awesome!. Really great camera. Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue has a big display screen, great photo quality, and is very easy to use. The camera is light and compact, but not so small I would misplace it, and Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue fits well and comfortably in my hand. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great, high-quality product for an affordable price.
Good overall camera. I purchased this camera with my summer trips in mind. I picked Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue mainly because of the price - I'm not a real camera junkie. I found that on the whole Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue operates very well. The only problem I have is that Canon A480 10 MP Camera Navy Blue tends to get blurry in action shots, or if you zoom in too close. I also found that my sister, who has a Nikon camera, has pictures that are sharper and have a better quality. For the price, though, you can't get a better camera.

Yes.. MP Digital Silver Canon Camera 12.1 PowerShot SD970IS
For the money, the Rebel XS delivers.. **Revised 14 Feb 2009**
(4.5/5 stars)
This year I decided to finally get a digital SLR. The market is filled with excellent choices and early January saw a plunge in prices that has since receded, so I feel like I picked a good time to buy. The downside of having so many options, though, was trying to decide which one was right for me. Not being too familiar with dSLRs, I read lots of reviews and learned the terminology, and after a couple weeks finally decided on the Canon Rebel XS.
Based on what I was willing to pay (around $650 or less), I considered three other cameras before buying this one: The Canon Rebel XSi, the Nikon D60, and the Pentax K200D. I think Nikon has excellent offerings at the "enthusiast/semi pro" level (D80/D90 and D300, respectively) that are arguably superior to Canon's lineup, but I was disappointed by the D60 in general, mostly due to the lack of autofocus compatibility with older lenses. The main attraction of the Pentax is the high build quality with weather sealing, but Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver also sports a decent quality kit lens, a large viewfinder, and internal image stabilization. What concerned me about the K200D was the image quality, especially with JPEGs, as reported in a number of pro reviews. As is the case with many entering the dSLR world, image quality was my #1 consideration. Finally, a word about Live View, which many feel is a "feature of the month" that is perhaps less useful than the hype might suggest. I have personally found Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver to be a useful photographic tool in certain situations, and Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver is notably lacking on the Nikon and Pentax models that I considered.
So, left with the Canons, I considered what I might get with the XSi for the nearly $200 extra. As a beginner I simply wasn't convinced that the additional features on the XSi were worth the extra cash, the image quality the two cameras being basically equal. So I sprang for the XS, got the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens with the savings, and still had some cash left in my pocket. Generally I've been quite happy with my decision. There is a lot of talk about how camera makers "intentionally cripple" their entry-level models, but you're unlikely to notice this if it's your first dSLR. If you pay more for the next step up, you're arguably paying a premium for new technology that you won't even notice or appreciate that much, and will either be commonplace or obsolete in just a couple years. If I had spent more I think I would have skipped the XSi and gone for the 40D, which sports a better build and a nicer kit lens, the Pentax K20D, or perhaps the Nikon D80 or D90. My plan is to stick with the XS for a few years until Canon gives me a compelling reason to upgrade.
So anyway, what is my impression of the Rebel XS after 3 weeks and over 1000 pictures? Very good. Obviously Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver will take some time to make a more complete assessment, but here are my thoughts so far:
The good:
- Image Quality. Period. This is the Canon trademark. The basic JPEG modes are great when you don't want to bother with the creative stuff. The level of sharpness and the color rendition are perfect for my tastes, and can be easily adjusted.
- Performance at High ISO. Most of my photos so far have been taken in low light situations (it's a cold, dark January in Minnesota), and I've decided there's one thing everyone looking at dSLRs should consider carefully: image quality at high ISO speeds. Using higher ISO speeds is extremely useful when trying to get sharp pictures in low light situations (without using a flash). Simply put, in the entry level market Canon outperforms the competition. I've taken a number of pictures at ISO 1600 that look great, especially with the in-camera noise reduction turned on. At normal print sizes the quality difference compared to lower ISO speeds is very minimal.
- Ease of Use. The camera puts all the essential controls at your fingertips. Adjusting ISO, exposure compensation, metering mode, and white balance, not to mention picture styles and autofocus mode, are all quick and intuitive operations with this camera. The only thing that takes a little more time is manually tweaking the white balance, which I seem to do a lot under incandescent light. Also, after activating live view in the menu system, Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver can be turned on or off at the press of a button.
- The camera is small, light, and physically attractive. With my 50mm lens attached, the camera is remarkably compact and very lightweight. Also, having dealt with the lag of compact digitals for years, the responsiveness of this camera is especially noticeable.
- Kit lens. While the 18-55mm IS lens that ships with the camera leaves something to be desired in terms of build quality (and manual operation), the optical quality actually surprised me. I have yet to find a good reason to upgrade.
- Software. The image editing and organizing programs that come with the camera are not the most refined, but they are fairly powerful, and likely adequate for those who don't want to part with another $200 or more for an image editing program. Also, you can control the camera remotely from your computer with live view, which is cool, if not extremely useful.
A few complaints:
- Build/Grip: One of the big reasons I didn't spring for the XSi was because Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver offered no improvement in the way of build quality or ergonomics (besides the marginally better grip material). The downside of this camera's low weight is the plastic construction. Especially compared to a Pentax (which is also plastic but has a metal frame and usually weather sealing), there's a noticeable difference in the way Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver feels in your hands. There are advantages to each approach, but some will prefer a more solid (and heavy) construction. Also, some reviewers complain about the grip. I have relatively long fingers, and while I agree that Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver is a little cramped and awkward compared to its rivals, it's a secure grip and while taking pictures I've never found Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver to be uncomfortable. I have to say that while the build and grip are adequate, they do detract somewhat from the overall photographic experience. I would give more weight to these factors if I were to buy again.
- Canon makes a lot of lenses, and this was a chief selling point for me. However, with time I've realized that Canon has not committed to its APS-C (EF-S) lens system in the same way that most other manufacturers have. Its lens offerings continue to be 35mm/"full frame" -centric, leaving me feeling a bit left out. Just to be clear, you can use EF lenses on your Rebel XS, but the EF zooms have focal lengths that are not ideal for the APS-C sensor size. Looking at the overall lens lineup, there just aren't too many lenses below $1000 that get me excited. This has led me to eye other manufacturers' lens systems enviously, and I continue to contemplate switching systems. Take some time to consider your probable lens needs before committing to a system.
- The viewfinder is fairly small. When dealing with a shallow depth of field in low light and I want to get the focus just right, I often switch to live view to zoom in and focus manually (This is actually very handy). The only basis I have for comparison is my ancient Minolta film SLR that sports a much brighter viewfinder. That said, when I compared the XS and XSi, I didn't really notice the difference between the two. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver seems that APS-C cameras generally have smaller viewfinders that 35mm/full frame cameras. However, this is an important aspect of the photographic experience, so give Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver due consideration as you compare cameras.
- Slow continuous shooting rate. If you're shooting action (sports, moving animals, etc.) in RAW you'll want to look elsewhere. The JPEG rate (3 fps) is comparable to competitors and has the advantage of being able to shoot until the card is full. In RAW, however, you'll find that the 1.5 fps (for 5 frames) is pretty slow. I don't generally shoot action so this was not an important consideration for me.
Overall: Considering the price of the Rebel XS and the overall quality of the package (image quality and feature set), I'm convinced Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver gives you the most bang for your buck of cameras below $500. This camera is capable of taking very nice photographs, and I find the control layout to be very intuitive. The only things that leave me feeling somewhat unsatisfied are (1) the relatively "cheap" or plastic feel of the camera (2) the grip, which is satisfactory but does not fit the shape of my hand like other cameras, and (3) the lens lineup. I recommend spending some time holding the camera (and others) and researching lenses to make sure the XS will meet your needs. Having said that, the image quality of this camera is excellent, and I am most satisfied by its low-light performance. Furthermore, if you think you'll upgrade in the next several years, I have a feeling Canon will be forced to compete aggressively with Nikon in the enthusiast range, so you can be confident you'll have some good options down the road.
Other options to consider:
In the entry-level market, the Olympus Evolt E420 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Lens provides an interesting and very cost-effective choice, particularly for those who value small size. To take full advantage of the minute camera, you'll want to consider getting the tiny 25mm pancake lens in addition to the standard zoom. The E-420 delivers on features too, with live view and a good dust control system. The downsides? First, there is no in-body image stabilization, unlike its bigger brother, the E-520 (also a good option). Also, lens selection is limited due to the unique sensor size. That said, the lenses are designed specifically for "four thirds" sensors as opposed to "full frame", and thus have more appropriate focal lengths. More importantly, several of the Olympus Zuiko lenses get rave reviews for their optical quality. A final downside is that the "four thirds" image quality, in particular dynamic range and high ISO, isn't quite on par with Canon or Nikon. However, I suspect that for many people Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver will be more than good enough.
For those who want a more upscale dSLR experience in the entry-level market segment, I would recommend the Pentax K200D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. You get a quality build, weatherproofing, a nice viewfinder, and arguably the best built kit lens there is (complete with a nice lens hood!). Make sure you can live with the image quality if you plan on shooting JPEG and keep in mind there's no live view, but if you read owner reviews you'll find very few unhappy customers.
If you're willing to pay more than $700 and can live without more recent features like live view, the Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-135mm AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens is apparently an excellent camera. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver is roughly on par the XS and XSi in terms of image quality and apparently very well put together. Personally I would have a hard time putting down that kind of money for an older camera, but keep in mind you get a nice zoom lens (without Nikon's Vibration Reduction, though). If you opt for the body only you could find a nice VR lens to go with it.
Another camera that is currently in the same price range as the D80 is the Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II Lens. This camera could be categorized more as "semi-pro" or "enthusiast", and is best for those eager to take greater manual control of their camera. The new sensor resolves the image quality issues of the K200D and has greater resolution. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver has live view, but the implementation is apparently pretty crude. All in all, Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver sounds like this is a very good deal at current pricing and again, you'll find very few unhappy users.
Of course, the talk of the town these days is the Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens, which by all accounts equals its Canon rivals on image quality and delivers a very nice feature set including HD video. For this, though, you'll need to pay a pretty penny (around $1100). And at that price, you'll want to give full consideration to the well-built Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens, or its more expensive sibling, the Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens.
Great Camera, Great Pics. I love this camera. Now, I am no expert but I am a picture fanatic and these pics are beautiful. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver is my first SLR. I've wanted one for a while. And Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver was well worth it. The only thing I wish Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver had was a wireless remote. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver has a remote that you connect to the camera with a wire, (bought seperatly), and Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver works great. I take alot of family photos, sometimes with me in them, and the wireless would be easier. Other than that, great product, great price, great pics.
Best for DSLR beginners. Like the others (or even you), I've done a lot of researches for the best DSLR for beginners. I've considered nikon D40, nikon D60, pentax K200D, and sony A300. It's true to try the actual camera and see where you're most comfortable with helps, I went to Best Buy to do this.
So why Canon XS, 3 key things that made me decide to get this one:
First and foremost, the price. It's almost the same as the Nikon D40 (other sites offer cheaper kits for d40 but you don't get the VR lens) but more funtions, cheaper than the Nikon D60 and more functions. As compared to pentax and sony, this is definitely cheaper and more lens options.
Second consideration is the fact that there is an adapter available in the market that can be attached to this camera so that Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver will be able to use nikon lenses. Try searching for Haoda.
Third and last is the actual shooting tests. I tried this, nikon d40/d60, and sony a300 at best buy. Used auto settings for all cam and my shots came out best with the Canon XS.
What's the drawback? Sensors were removed in the XS model. Same sensors that is used for the remote shutter or for a flash to work away from the camera. No worries though, there are 3rd pary remotes that can work with the XS so you'll have remote shutter capabilities. As for the flash, you can always mount a flash that can work as the master flash (disabling the light) and have another flash as the slave flash so you have the same effect of having a flash work that is not connected on top of the camera.
I'm really happy with my choice, no regrets. Whenever I pick Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver up, Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver makes me want to shoot anything just to see how great the pictures it'll produce.
Be careful though, once you decide to buy this, spending starts for the accessories (memory, bag, cleaner, lens, etc).
As my friend would put it, 'don't think about Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver anymore, just buy it!' =)

Looking at the overall lens lineup, there just aren't too many lenses below $1000 that get me excited. This has led me to eye other manufacturers' lens systems enviously, and I continue to contemplate switching systems. Take some time to consider your probable lens needs before committing to a system.
- The viewfinder is fairly small. When dealing with a shallow depth of field in low light and I want to get the focus just right, I often switch to live view to zoom in and focus manually (This is actually very handy). The only basis I have for comparison is my ancient Minolta film SLR that sports a much brighter viewfinder. That said, when I compared the XS and XSi, I didn't really notice the difference between the two. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver seems that APS-C cameras generally have smaller viewfinders that 35mm/full frame cameras. However, this is an important aspect of the photographic experience, so give Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver due consideration as you compare cameras.
- Slow continuous shooting rate. If you're shooting action (sports, moving animals, etc.) in RAW you'll want to look elsewhere. The JPEG rate (3 fps) is comparable to competitors and has the advantage of being able to shoot until the card is full. In RAW, however, you'll find that the 1.5 fps (for 5 frames) is pretty slow. I don't generally shoot action so this was not an important consideration for me.
Overall: Considering the price of the Rebel XS and the overall quality of the package (image quality and feature set), I'm convinced Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver gives you the most bang for your buck of cameras below $500. This camera is capable of taking very nice photographs, and I find the control layout to be very intuitive. The only things that leave me feeling somewhat unsatisfied are (1) the relatively "cheap" or plastic feel of the camera (2) the grip, which is satisfactory but does not fit the shape of my hand like other cameras, and (3) the lens lineup. I recommend spending some time holding the camera (and others) and researching lenses to make sure the XS will meet your needs. Having said that, the image quality of this camera is excellent, and I am most satisfied by its low-light performance. Furthermore, if you think you'll upgrade in the next several years, I have a feeling Canon will be forced to compete aggressively with Nikon in the enthusiast range, so you can be confident you'll have some good options down the road.
Other options to consider:
In the entry-level market, the Olympus Evolt E420 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Lens provides an interesting and very cost-effective choice, particularly for those who value small size. To take full advantage of the minute camera, you'll want to consider getting the tiny 25mm pancake lens in addition to the standard zoom. The E-420 delivers on features too, with live view and a good dust control system. The downsides? First, there is no in-body image stabilization, unlike its bigger brother, the E-520 (also a good option). Also, lens selection is limited due to the unique sensor size. That said, the lenses are designed specifically for "four thirds" sensors as opposed to "full frame", and thus have more appropriate focal lengths. More importantly, several of the Olympus Zuiko lenses get rave reviews for their optical quality. A final downside is that the "four thirds" image quality, in particular dynamic range and high ISO, isn't quite on par with Canon or Nikon. However, I suspect that for many people Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver will be more than good enough.
For those who want a more upscale dSLR experience in the entry-level market segment, I would recommend the Pentax K200D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. You get a quality build, weatherproofing, a nice viewfinder, and arguably the best built kit lens there is (complete with a nice lens hood!). Make sure you can live with the image quality if you plan on shooting JPEG and keep in mind there's no live view, but if you read owner reviews you'll find very few unhappy customers.
If you're willing to pay more than $700 and can live without more recent features like live view, the Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-135mm AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens is apparently an excellent camera. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver is roughly on par the XS and XSi in terms of image quality and apparently very well put together. Personally I would have a hard time putting down that kind of money for an older camera, but keep in mind you get a nice zoom lens (without Nikon's Vibration Reduction, though). If you opt for the body only you could find a nice VR lens to go with it.
Another camera that is currently in the same price range as the D80 is the Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II Lens. This camera could be categorized more as "semi-pro" or "enthusiast", and is best for those eager to take greater manual control of their camera. The new sensor resolves the image quality issues of the K200D and has greater resolution. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver has live view, but the implementation is apparently pretty crude. All in all, Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver sounds like this is a very good deal at current pricing and again, you'll find very few unhappy users.
Of course, the talk of the town these days is the Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens, which by all accounts equals its Canon rivals on image quality and delivers a very nice feature set including HD video. For this, though, you'll need to pay a pretty penny (around $1100). And at that price, you'll want to give full consideration to the well-built Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens, or its more expensive sibling, the Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens.
Great Camera, Great Pics. I love this camera. Now, I am no expert but I am a picture fanatic and these pics are beautiful. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver is my first SLR. I've wanted one for a while. And Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver was well worth it. The only thing I wish Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver had was a wireless remote. Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver has a remote that you connect to the camera with a wire, (bought seperatly), and Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver works great. I take alot of family photos, sometimes with me in them, and the wireless would be easier. Other than that, great product, great price, great pics.
Best for DSLR beginners. Like the others (or even you), I've done a lot of researches for the best DSLR for beginners. I've considered nikon D40, nikon D60, pentax K200D, and sony A300. It's true to try the actual camera and see where you're most comfortable with helps, I went to Best Buy to do this.
So why Canon XS, 3 key things that made me decide to get this one:
First and foremost, the price. It's almost the same as the Nikon D40 (other sites offer cheaper kits for d40 but you don't get the VR lens) but more funtions, cheaper than the Nikon D60 and more functions. As compared to pentax and sony, this is definitely cheaper and more lens options.
Second consideration is the fact that there is an adapter available in the market that can be attached to this camera so that Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver will be able to use nikon lenses. Try searching for Haoda.
Third and last is the actual shooting tests. I tried this, nikon d40/d60, and sony a300 at best buy. Used auto settings for all cam and my shots came out best with the Canon XS.
What's the drawback? Sensors were removed in the XS model. Same sensors that is used for the remote shutter or for a flash to work away from the camera. No worries though, there are 3rd pary remotes that can work with the XS so you'll have remote shutter capabilities. As for the flash, you can always mount a flash that can work as the master flash (disabling the light) and have another flash as the slave flash so you have the same effect of having a flash work that is not connected on top of the camera.
I'm really happy with my choice, no regrets. Whenever I pick Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver up, Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver makes me want to shoot anything just to see how great the pictures it'll produce.
Be careful though, once you decide to buy this, spending starts for the accessories (memory, bag, cleaner, lens, etc).
As my friend would put it, 'don't think about Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Silver anymore, just buy it!' =)

Canon Rechargeable Battery CBK4-300 to you
Canon AA Battery recharger. Works great! Best to own 8 AA rechargable batteries so you always have 4 to change out. I love Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery .
Excellent battery life. The batteries included last quite a long while. I took my camera for a vacation trip, taking a TON of vidoes and over 500 snapshots. Even while keeping my Cannon S5IS turned on, with screen, these batteries lasted all day, every day. I only needed to charge Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery once in two days of active shooting, as well as uploading and reviewing time. My only complaint is the charger takes a while to recharge the batteries. Still, these are some of the best batteries i've used with my cannon S5 camera.
Love the Charger. Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery charger works great. The batteries stay charged longer than I ever expected. Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery is a must have for your Canon camera.

Digital PowerShot SD780IS Canon Camera MP 12.1 change
Great Camera. I am not a professional photographer by any means, but am very handy with electronics. I wanted to get a "very nice" camera, but one that I would also be able to use. I purchased this camera the day before leaving to Thailand on my honeymoon. Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera was great, and the pictures (about 3000 over two weeks) turned out great! Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera was easy to use, durable and the pictures came out crystal clear. I read the manual over the 20+ hour flight and learned a lot about the features of the camera. Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera was comfortable in my hands, and I even taught my technologically deficient wife how to use Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera once I was comfortable with Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera myself! The pictures from our honeymoon were applied to my slideshow screen saver on my computer and as my friends looked at them, they thought the pictures looked like post cards, and didn't believe that we took the pictures and figured that the screen saver came standard on the computer!
I will say this, originally I figured that the screen would have live viewing and you would not be forced to look through the eye piece (similar to most point-and-shoot cameras of today). However, Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera was not as annoying as I thought, and I'm not certain if any higher end SLR cameras have this feature (or at least any under $1000). Aside from that, the camera was great, pictures were great, and Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera was easy to use! I'm sure that there are 100's of features I'm not sure of how to use, but if I have up to it, I'm sure that I can figure Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera out. The manual constantly said that it's easier to use the automatic focus options, which I did, and had no complaints!
I would recommend this camera to anyone that likes to vacation, or has children in sports and wants to take great pictures. This camera is one of the most recent to come out. And I cannot wait to get a higher zoom lens and a wide angle lens for Christmas!
Hope this helps to the amateurs out there!
Piece of junk. Had focus issues for the whole three months I used Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera and slowly degraded. Then one day while taking a continuous shot photoshoot, the thing wouldn't go into focus anymore and finally the reflex mirror became loose. You can't do much with half a picture
Great camera!. There are plenty of reviews on the net. Just my 2 cents.
1. Stock battery is great - just came from Xmas party - more than 1000 RAW shots. 1/3 of them - w/flash. Battery is still alive!
2. Live view - not necessary, but great feature. Try to shoot something 2" from the floor or 2' above you. Love it!
3. Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera is lightweight. Your neck and back will thank you!
If you think about Nikon D60 - come to the store and compare them. D60 has better viewfinder, but overall I like XSi more, but it's up to you.
You'll not regret.
