    • Comments:

      Although the Canon Digital IXUS 75 doesn't have many whistles and bells, the large screen and smart styling easily make up for what is by today's standards an undistinguished spec sheet. Above all, picture quality is excellent for this size of compact...

      This camera has everything I wanted. Takes great pictures and is very easy to use. the zoom feature is great when trying to get close up photos. I used it on a camping trip and got some amazing pictures. The only bad thing was my nephew also liked it so much I didnt get to use it as much as I would have liked too. ...

    • Comments:

      I use this camera for everyday pictures, and it does the job very well. The 12x zoom is perfect. Overall it's a very good camera, whose picture quality is just a little worse than a SLR, but at one forth of the price... ...

    • Pros: The icons are easy to understand and provide the variety of shooting conditions that I use.

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Powerful Canon PowerShot S5 IS
      by ,
    • Pros: Camera has been designed to accomodate the average user as well as the professional.
    • Cons: Operating manual and guide could be better written. Especially, when getting into the advanced menus.
    • Comments:

      I will primarly be using the camera for family photos and a record of building improvements to our home. I like the ability to film video for short periods of time. Also, this camera utilizies the HC chips so you have the storage capacity on one chip that you would need for a long trip before having to change chips. ...

      by ,
    • Pros: Easy to use, excellent image quality, excellent video quality
    • Cons: Needs stronger flash, hard to strike a balance between needing a flash or not
    • Comments:

      Image and video quality are perfect. I have been using it for taking pix at my current trip in japan, sightseeing, parties, etc... it's best at day time pix taking. maybe I still need to practice taking shots at night. ...

    • Product Rating: 5 star(s) Great lens, anti-shake...can't ask for more!
      by ,
    • Pros: Quick start for 'just-in-time' photo, moveable LCD, all the options I will use and more...
    • Cons: Not to intuitive, perhaps a few more 'identifiers' when an option is selected
    • Comments:

      Having had a PowerShot A80 with the movable LCD screen this is what I was looking for in a replacement camera. The new larger size is a bonus, shooting car races over the heads of spectators just got easier! The quick start up is a real bonus the camera is ready almost before I am. I will probably never use all the options but experimentation has showed me a whole new area of creativity using some of the built-in functions - thank you CANON!...
