Great camera
Date: August 5, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, easy grip
If you are a beginner, set it to "auto" & go. If you like to play with fancy settings, you can do that too. This replaced an older model A560 which I also liked. I especially like the grip. I don't like the card -deck thin ones - nothing to hold on to. This is why originally bought this model. I would recommend it to anyone-beginner or semi-pro.

Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu
Cons: manual
i thought it was a great buy, i used it for photography and it worked out beautifully. i personally would recommend it to anyone who wants just a casual digital camera. if u are looking for something fancy then this probably isnt the camera for you.

Not so great
Date: January 27, 2009
Cons: takes to long to take a picture
I am pretty disappointed picture taking speed of the camera. It takes quite a few seconds to actually capture a picture and even longer for it to allow you to take another picture. The picture quality it good but if I can't get the shots that I want what good does that do. I even purchased the more expensive lithium batteries thinking that would help and it hasn't.

Born in the wrong generation
Date: January 8, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, close-up capability
Cons: instruction manual
I've never been a big fan of digital anything, but recieved this camera for Christmas. I'm currently taking a photography course and the only downside of this camera is its manual - my teacher keeps asking me questions about the technical side of my new toy that I can't answer by just looking it up in a book. Make sure to get a basic understanding of cameras in general before purchasing anything!!
