it works

brill for wifey so she leaves my canon sx10 IS alone

she points and shoots and the green button idiot mode works great (sorry luvvy)

much better than on my canon g3 (which was the bees knees) where i had to use manual settings

stick a 2 gig sd card in and it takes a thousand shots - she is still on the first charge of the nimh batteries... so you need a decent size card and rechargeables nimh - oh and a decent charger which goes into 10% trickle mode too otherwise you cook em

I gave this Canon Digital Cameron to my oldest grandson, who is 20 years old, and he said this is a high tech camera. He was very pleased with it.

Bought this camera so I could take good pictures while on vacation. The pictues came out clear, the face detection feature is cool and everything has been going well with my new camera.

We bought this camera for our daughter (< 10 year old). So far, nothing to complain about. Very simple to use, good quality pictures, small enough to fit in a pocket. And she has not broken it yet.

Our eight-year-old was very excited when he received this camera for his birthday. It is so simple to use that he was able to take pictures immediately. Now his whole family borrows to capture images they want.
