 Good quality images but needs some skill December 1, 2008

I bought this camera about 15 days back. I have used it a couple of times indoors, outdoors and indoors with low-light conditions.
Used correctly, this camera does a great job of taking good quality images. I had to play with the camera for about 15-20 mins to get familiar with it so I could take the best pictures possible. My sister owned a Powershot A530 before this one and i had the same experience with that too.
This camera fits nicely in your jeans pocket and is quite light.
You will need a tripod to take good low-light shots. I have a cat and a rabbit and a 3 yr old nephew - The kids and pets setting really works well to take pictures of them. Generally the few manual settings it does have are good enough for a serious amateur photographer.
One gripe I do have is that with regular AA alkaline batteries the flash recycle time can go up to 8 seconds and the camera is blank and unusable during this time. This of course is a problem with most canon Powershots. The solution I have found is to use batteries made specifically for taking pictures (Duracell makes some) or just use rechargeable NiMH batteries. This works great. Almost down to 1 sec between shots with that.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this camera to anyone. But you have to be a little patient and get used to it first - I think this is true for any good camera out there though.

Great service and great product. Was for a intro digital photo class, and is perfect especially for cost. Nice to be able to use "normal" aa batts too.
Very good buying experience November 16, 2008

A very smooth buying experience -- I received what I wanted, in a short period of time, for a good price.
I love almost everything about my A1000 November 14, 2008

I got this camera a few weeks ago to replace a previous Canon digital camera (the A540) that I absolutely loved. So far I've been very happy with this one, with one glaring exception - not specifically about the camera itself, but rather the software that comes with it.
I'm an amateur photographer and find that this type of point-and-shoot works well for me - especially since it has a 4x optical zoom which gives clearer, more vivid photos. I really like how easy the Canon cameras are to use and the range of features - and this one doesn't disappoint. I also like the 2.5" LCD and the fact that this camera is small enough to easily fit in a pocket or purse. It's really very versatile and I love that about it.
The only things that I really can complain about are that I do somewhat miss the chunky handgrip on my previous Canon, but that's not a huge deal. What IS a huge deal, for me anyway, is their 'updated' version of the Camera Window software that comes with this camera. This is the software that you run to download photos from the camera - and I can't believe how horrible this particular version is. The previous version that I used with my other Canon camera was great - it was windows-based and you could select any photos on your card then download, print or delete them as you wished. However, in this new version - it's got a black interface, no text by the icons to tell you what they do - and there is no way to delete the photos from your card. I e-mailed Canon to double-check and was told that yes, this is the case - you have to use Windows Explorer to delete your photos. Why I would want to use two different programs when before I could easily use just one is beyond me... I'm going to re-install the old version that I have and hope that it will work with this camera, because I am incredibly annoyed with the new version right now.
Other than the software issue, I love this camera and think that it's a very good choice for someone who wants a camera that takes a great quality photo and is easy to use and carry around. I only hope that Canon will re-think the Camera Window decision - I'm a loyal Canon enthusiast, but am very disappointed in them right now.
 Disappointed - had to return it October 29, 2008

I did some research and thought this would be a nice - easy to use camera for the price. I was most interested in the "easy" mode for my wife - which supposedly makes picture taking "worry free" where the camera selects the "optimal" settings automatically. So I'm in my halloween costume and my wife wants take a picture. She shoots from a few feet away inside a fairly well lit room - the camera flashes - should be fine. It comes out very dark. She tries again from the same spot - still very dark. I try taking a picture of her in the same place - too dark. I turn off the autoflash and try again - picture comes out fine with no flash. I wanted a camera that would take a nice picture without someone having to decide whether or not to turn the flash on or off. I believe the problem is that the camera is defective and the flash is not in sync with the shutter. When it thinks it's using the flash, it probably automatically sets the shutter speed for the brightness of the flash. If the shutter clicks when it's not flashing, the shutter speed is too fast for the light conditions (thus - the pictures being too dark). We tried taking a number of pictures around the house in either "Auto" or "Easy" modes with autoflash on and got about 90% too dark and even a few that were so bright they were completely washed out (again - probably poor flash timing or shutter speed not matching the flash). Anyway, bummer. Only had had the camera a couple days, so I sent it back to Amazon for a refund. Now I'm trying to figure out what to buy next. I know that Canon is a popular brand and must be doing something right, but after this experience, might try another brand.
