Feedback & Overview
Actual Customer Feedback:

"It's a lovely little camera, compact and simple. Just like the rest of the canon powershot series but a few steps better. Great video quality, too. Good manual settings. As it's new, it works very quickly in displaying pictures and taking pictures one after another - hopefully this will last, as in my experience digital cameras work faster when new, no idea why. " -Customer Review on Amazon.com

"What can I say more than the title of my review? It's an 8 megapixel camera for under 100.00. It takes great pics, our first trip was to the zoo after we got it and the pics were excellent. Even the far off pics (they don't let you right up on the lions, etc.) came out with great detail. It's simple to use, small, powers up quick and takes video. I like it a lot, girlfriend loves it. Extremely happy with my purchase.." -Customer Review on Amazon.com

"Big saving and at least 30% discount compare to BestBuy, Frys.
Great camera. One of the best deal in Amazon." -Customer Review on Amazon.com

"I work at a used car dealership and we post a lot of our inventory online. For a long time we used my old digital camera (a much older Canon Powershot) simply because my boss couldn't be convinced to buy a new one. After years of hard use that one finally crashed, so we had to get something new. I found this online for the price point I was looking at with more features than I had ever had before.

I really enjoy having the large LCD view screen, as that makes setting up and reviewing my shots that much easier before I upload them to our website. It's compact and uses two standard AA batteries which last a long time. This is a great camera for simple point and shoot photography. I highly recommend it. " -Customer Review on Amazon.com

"Picked this camera up for little extra things you can use a small portable camera for since I have a DSLR. Great pictures, easy to carry, and a good little movie option. It is a keeper." -Customer Review on Amazon.com


Customers were amazed on how this not so expensive digital camera can actually deliver a great quality of photos. Great for simple point and shoot photography, the camera can also make a good movie option. All in all, the camera is a great buy with absolutely great performance.
