5 Stars Canon Camera
This camera is an amazing value for the money. Takes great pictures, easy to use, long battery life and easy to charge. Only caution is that the camera does not come with a memory card.

2 Stars Great camera, horrible company
This is a really great camera, but it is a really bad company. Canon is the worst company when it comes to getting anything repaired. When I got this camera, I noticed it had a dead pixel on the LCD. I sent it in to Canon, they sent it back not only with the dead pixel unrepaired, but they left dust between the protective screen film cover and the LCD. As a result I sent it to them a second time. When I got it back the second time, they did not fix either problem and they broke something inside the camera so a red spot kept appearing on the LCD when trying to take a picture or shoot video… I sent it in a third last week telling them to fix the problems they caused and to replace the LCD.

It returned today, they fixed the two problems they caused, but I still have the dead pixel.

The bottom line is Canon is a horrible company when it comes to repair service, if you get a defective LCD like I did, you are going to have to deal with it, because they will lie to you about trying to repair and do nothing.

Either Canon lacks integrity or their repair people are incompetent or both (probably both) and thus I have to poorly review their product, because if something else goes defective, I have no guaranteed they will be able to fix it.

5 Stars Great little camera
I had a 6 year old camera (also Canon) that I recently gave to my dad who seemed interested in taking digital pictures and I started looking for a new digital camera.

SD780IS was recommended highly and the selling point for me was the availability of a view finder as it is very hard to see what you are aiming at in bright daylight without a viewfinder.

I already have countless pictures in different environments from hot hazy days on the sea to some flowers I have that bloom only once a year (and only for a day) in all occasions the results turned out great. Clarity, picture quality it is all there.

The size of the camera is perfect, I have a red one I love its color and using it (charging the battery or downloading the pics) is so easy.

I must mention that for this price it is the best deal.

4 Stars Good pocket camera with viewfinder
I purchased this model because it was the only pocket camera I could find with an optical viewfinder. It has surpassed my expectations. See the two attached pictures. I wish the film strips could be generated in AVI files, but I can live with the MOV filetype.

5 Stars Best camera to date!
In September of 09 I purchased this camera for my son, from Amazon.com, for $225.20, with an extra battery, and free shipping & handling. I knew it was a good buy, so I ordered one for myself. I still use my older Canon cameras but this one has a sharper image and if you take snaps while driving…they couldn’t be any sharper. Note: the size is just a little slimmer than older models. My orders were for the Gold…what a buy. Thank you Amazon!

5 Stars Fun little pocket shooter
Tons of fun. Surprising quality in such a tiny package. It takes some serious focus to hold it steady because it is so light and tiny but if it were heavy and huge it would not fit in my pocket. I love that I can plug it directly into my computer with its built in USB. The audio quality is pretty good too. The biggest hassle is buying a memory card but my brother found one on a Christmas sale for me so I didn’t have to deal with it.

I have taken it hiking, on trampolines, to family reunions, and it has attracted all sorts of attention when people figure out it is not a cell phone. The only peeve I have with the camera is that the lens isn’t very wide so you have to take a step back to get your friends into focus. The playsport (zi8′s waterproof little brother) has a much more reasonable lens and is waterproof. You need an external cable to upload with that one which I don’t always have on me.

1 Star needs work…
If you listen to the PR you know the good stuff about full HD that works nice in the Kodak lab. Now here’s the rest…

I’m not a pro. I’m just a dumb guy that wants the Kodak Zi8 camera to work right in the real world. Here’s my experience…

First, the sound sucks. I first used this Kodak Zi8 on the America’s Cup sailboat Stars & Stripes. A once in a lifetime event for me. Couldn’t hear my girlfriend talk or anyone else–just the hammering noise of the wind with the built-in mic. Not good. A major disappointment. Tried the smaller Sony exterior mic with the noise protection covers but they didn’t work. Lots of buzzzzz-ing sounds and wind noise. Plus they kept falling out. Didn’t fit right. Etc.

Note: If I get a good mic that might actually work–it’s bigger than the camera! What’s the point of going small!

IMPORTANT: You can’t see the screen outside in the real world. It’s shinny black in the sunlight. So you can’t frame the image or see the controls or see the camera turn off because the battery just died. No alarms.

Plus the view is narrow, very very narrow. A wider angle could give you a chance to catch some of the action by pointing. But no such luck with this Kodak.

Also, the Zoom is way toooo fast.

Also, the battery last maybe an hour, and you can’t replace the battery with a tripod on. You must take the tripod off before you can open the camera. Try doing this on one of the fastest sailboats in the world with the crew cranking wenches like madmen and the boom swinging an inch over your head. I’m just lucky I didn’t get a swim in the Pacific.

Also, try to hold this Kodak or Flip camera steady. It’s a joke. Can’t be done without a bulky system.

The idea of a small high quality video camera is great!–but the reality is not so hot. I feel cheated. Last time I purchase a Kodak.

Do you think Kodak could develop a better mic?

Sure they can.

Do you think Kodak can develop a quick change battery system?

That’s an easy one. Just redesign smart, be thoughtful. Use the camera in the real world.

Do you think Kodak can develop a better screen?

Yeap. Sony and the other Japanese camera companies have them.

Do you think Kodak can add a better selection of lenses?

Uh-huh. They know all about that stuff.

Do you think Kodak can come up with a reasonable steady-cam system?

You bet.

Do you think they can make the best little video camera in the world?

Why not? They have a impressive history in still and motion picture film.

Then thy don’t they and dominate the market… ?

Good question.

5 Stars Awesome with a BIG A!!!!!
I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo love this new toy in my life! It is so easy, so fun and so practical for what I use it for! (ball games, day trips, craziness in my house with an 8yr old boy! LOL!) I just love it! The picture quality is TERRIFFIC too…. I have ZERO complaints! I researched this little bugger and I did see some not so glowing remarks and at first thought “oh oh…what did I get myself into”…..but no worries whatsoever! Installation is a snap, the camera is virtually idiot proof and for a computer loser like me…I am not very savvy saddly, it was a DREAM! I love this little gizmo and cannot say enough good about it! I am totally planning to add an additional mic to it and extra rechargeable batteries because with summer right on my heels I KNOW I’ll be using this alot more!

1 Star pos (piece of you know what)
This camera comes with nothing worthwhile….You have to buy memory separately…It comes with about 30 seconds of memory…ad does not memtion that..It records in 30 second bits..No provision for an extended run…

What a waste of money..jb

2 Stars Not quite as good as the Flip
After reading reviews on how this was a better camera than the Flip, I purchased one to try out. I have several Flip Minos, a Zoom and this, that I use to create YouTube videos. The video quality is ok but I think the Flip is still a better camera. I’ve been using the Flips for 1 1/2 years for school projects and yes, I wish the mic were better but I’ll stick by the Flip and maybe give the Kodak away. I was not impressed with the camera set at 1080P setting.

4 Stars Avoids misplaced caps
I bought this because I don’t like keeping up with the separate caps. I did expect the swivel cover to fit closer. With the big gap between the cover and the plug end, I feel like the plug is merely covered, not protected. Now that I’m getting a collection of these, for various uses, I’m considering getting a case for them; then loose caps and cover gaps won’t matter.

I also think the metal swivel is very unattractive from a design standpoint, but it’s function that matters and I have no complaint there. The price is also fair, so I won’t hesitate to buy more of these.

5 Stars How to recognize a deal.
Don’t be too quick to disparage your old thumb drive that’s three times the physical size, one-third the speed, and one-sixteenth the storage capacity of the pictured Kingston Flash Drive. I’ve never lost one of those primitive (i.e. pre-2007) Sandisk flash drives. With the current crop of thin plastics, I’m fortunate to retain the cap for a month, and now that the drive itself is as small and light as a disposable cigarette lighter, I find it difficult to keep the gizmo in my pocket for more than half a year.

Knowing that I wanted a drive with 2-4 gigs and with either a retractable connector or one with a “permanently”-attached protective cover, I simply started going down Amazon’s list of best-sellers. This one, appearing at #17, was the first one with a firmly affixed cap. (The swivel design is quite ingenious. I recently tossed a retractable Transcend drive that kept retracting whenever I attempted to insert it in my computer’s USB port, not good,)

If price were no object, I’d look for the slightly larger, heavier and more rugged Sandisk Titanium (not the “Micro” version, however). But at present this blue (“cyan”) Kingston (always a trustworthy brand) is not only the right price but the exceptional no-brainer: it’s twice the size of its smaller 2 GB brother yet is going for 3 dollars less.

5 Stars Inexpensive and work
It was ~$14 shipped. Inexpensive and it works like it should. Plenty of space for a little thumb drive.

5 Stars Highly Recommended
It is a great product and it holds a lot of things on it and I highly recommend it to anyone.

4 Stars Happy with Amazon
It’s a good flash drive. I would pay more for one with a metal housing.

5 Stars Panasonic GH1 For Video
I’m using this card in the Panasonic GH1 for HD video and it works great. No problems so far, and a great buy.

5 Stars Fantastic Card for a Great Price
I recently decided to dip my feet into digital photography, after scoring an awesome deal on a Nikon D40 kit. I needed a decently sized SD card, and after shopping around local big box retailers and on the web I settled on this one. The transfer speeds are quick, both while taking pictures and when in use with my camcorder. And the price is pretty awesome, by far the least expensive 16gb card I’ve found. But don’t be fooled by the price, its on par with other SD card from different manufacturers.

1 Star Great SDHC Card!! Until it dies.
I’m an amateur photographer and I’ve recently started to get into cinematography and photography on my T2i. I bought this card as a secondary card to my 8gb class 10 SanDisk card. I read reviews and recommendations that said this 16gb Transcend card was a great deal for price and bought it about a month ago. It worked great and I used it on numerous photo-shoots and long periods of shooting video. While on a paid photo and video shoot my camera stopped shooting in the middle of an interview and the card became unreadable. The card died on me and I lost all of the data on it. It seems that this card is not up to the standards that I would get with a more expensive card from SanDisk. I am now going to put the money into better performing cards rather than the cheap and easy ones after what happened.

3 Stars not bad, works pretty good
I bought this card that we would have more capacity for taking digital pictures while on vacation. You get virtually the full amoung as available storage; as hoped. The upload and download speeds are okay but the the fastest that I have seen. I dont know it it is a hardware or software issue that keeps it from going faster but still an okay card for the money.

1 Star Went bad after 1 year
Had this card for about a year, and it worked well until 2 days ago. I had it in my Nikon D5000 and got the error, “Unable to Format Card. Card May Be Defective.” Luckily I found a utility online to recover the pictures I had and I was able to re-format the card. It worked for another day and now I’m getting the error again.

I tried cleaning the contacts w/ a cotton swab, and even tried inserting the card while locked & unlocked – didn’t make a difference. Hopefully, the SanDisk 16GB Extreme – SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) – NEW 30MB/s version I just bought will last longer.
