Overall: really great camera , small and cute , easy to carry and use. takes great pictures , optional accessories are also great , battery performance is also good.
been using one for 6 months. Enjoy the use
Pros: It was small and pictures were meant to produce a high quality image however...
Cons: ...the images are very grainy AND after buying the camera in August 2008 by February 2009 it started coming up with 'lens error'. I took it into to see what the problem was and they told me a month later (after calling them) that there were 'foreign particles' in the lens which baffles me as it was in a protected cover and hadn't been to the beach or near dust. Anyway they said the lens had to be replaced and it was going to cost $200 as this part was not covered under warranty!
Overall: I strongly recommend not buying this product. Canon take forever to get back to you and I am sure this is just another tactic for income revenue.
