The high resolution is complemented by a 4x optical zoom that brings the world up close, and you'll see it all clearly on the big, bright 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD monitor. The 21 shooting modes make photography easy, fun and creative, and are joined by great functionality like expanded ISO settings that let you shoot in low light without blur.

Good Camera, great pictures, black screen? November 11, 2008
This is a great camera for the price. I have taken tons of pictures in the National Parks, Ski Mountains, Family gettogethers. I would recomend this camera. I have a personal preference not to use the Auto Mode. I set it up for portrait or Landscape most of the time. Great large pictures of blue skys and snow. The large flipout screen is great for taking pictures when you put the camera on a tripod or want to take a night shot and need to set the camera down.

After owning my camera for about 16 months, my camera LCD screen went black. The pictures were black and the camera was useless. I went directly to the Cannon Website and opened a repair. I paid for shipping to them. They actually paid for the repair and they will pay the shipping back to you. In my case worst that would have happend was they tell me it's expensive to fix and they pay to ship it back and I buy a new one. This is the second powershot I have owned, I had a A540 and had no problems with it. I wanted more Mgps.

best damn camera October 14, 2008
I've had this camera for well over a year now and it just never ceases to please. I love the standard AA batts which allow me to use the batteries of my choice and affordably keep multiple spares. I can also pick up replacement batts just about anywhere so I never need to worry about being without my charger...

Consumer reports rated it tops in picture quality and that is no lie. I almost feel embarrassed for all the nikon coolpix owners in my family. It's a little on the slow side, but the copious options (allowing you almost the flexibility of an SLR), flexible LCD, and overall picture quality more than make up for it. Consumer reports has just named the PowerShot A650 to the top of the heap so I already know what I'll be getting to replace this one should I ever be forced to.

Oh, it's pretty tough too. It's been on numerous trips, hiking and otherwise, and taken a few trips to the floor... the hard way.

10,000th Picture October 5, 2008
I just took my 10,000th image with this camera. I bought it 2 years ago, and it is still working great, even with the beating I have put on it. It has been rock climbing, caving, kayaking, dropped on concrete, etc. It is only now succumbing to cave dust after about 30 different caves [that destroyed my solid state flash after about 10 caves], but it still takes great pictures for now. I love having the manual mode, where I have almost limitless options for the more difficult shots. The noise at high ISO is annoying, but it seems on par for its generation. This is the camera line I buy when I want an DSLR but can only afford a 200-300 dollar camera.

i love this camera - especially how you can see the photo you're taking from different angles-
perfect for taking self portraits, w/friends, concerts, etc.
takes great photos and videos too-
lots of fun - we take it everywhere -

a bit of a disappointment August 5, 2008
I'm a graphic designer/art director. I published magazines and books, so photography is a key element of my work. This is my second Canon. I had a G3 that had problems with the lens (it wouldn't extend when powered on), and the screen went black after 2 years! So I got this one, because it was the only point & shoot with a swivel screen, and I wanted to give Canon another chance.
I have a same comments as Flaming June. The inside shots were for most of them grainy, on various settings. Also it doesn't have shake control. Lower and cheaper models have it.
I also have problems with the flash. Occasionally when I forced flash on, it wouldn't take pictures. Annoying to miss some good shots. The quality of the photos is very good for a P&S, but the top left gets way too blurry. It's fine if there is a non detailed background (ie sky) but it's a disappointment for the rest. The Canon software is good, including the stitching, but I generally end up using Photoshop.
My next camera will have a swivel screen, but that won't be a Canon.
