5 Stars Fabulous camera for Senior Citizen
I have a couple of digital cameras but my 78 yr old husband needed a camera with a viewfinder that was easy to operate and would generate clear pictures despite his hands being unsteady most of the time. This camera does it all! This camera is almost perfect in every way ! The only feature that we both are a bit disappointed in is the on/off button is small and level with the camera body,so it a bit hard to use. We would have preferred if the button has been raised a bit or even had a left to right on/off instead of an up/down button.I realize the goal was to keep the camera’s body small so button size was compromised to have room for everything.

We have never been so impressed with a camera’s ease of operation while giving you so many shooting options. I printed the full manual from the Canon USA website (136 pages) and gave it to my husband to read and learn before his 60th high school reunion in late Aug. He pretty well has mastered the camera overnight. The pictures are so clear, the color balanced and we have absolutely nothing to complain about regarding picture quality.

Clearly we are not advance photographers so don’t expect an in depth technical review. This is just a great point and shoot camera and it’s no wonder it gets such high marks on all camera web sites. Everyone loves this camera because it’s so easy to operate and produces great pictures. We love it too !!

2 Stars Too bad… A great little camera that takes awful pictures.
How disappointing! I currently own a Canon Powershot sd800is and I love it. Perfect pics & videos, excellent battery life, durable, no issues whatsoever. When my daughter saved her money up for a digital camera I really didn’t look much farther than Canon because I wanted her to have a great camera. Since the sd800is is no longer available we picked the updated version, the sd1200is, which has more mega-pixels and zoom than my old one.

When it arrived, we charged the battery and began taking indoor pictures. They were very blurry and they had a yellowish-orange glow. (We even had one that showed a blue & green orb floating by my staircase. STRANGE!) I tried adjusting the settings to fix the issues, but nothing worked. I’m not a camera expert, but I understand what most of the features and menu itmes do. I have used them on my sd800is with much success. I had my husband and his brother (both are smart techy guys) work with the camera. Still, we could not get it to take clear pictures. When I tried to take pics outside they came out virtually white, completely overexposed. My daughter tried taking some pics and did have success, but only if she took them in pitch darkness with the flash on. They were clear and sharp with good color. They looked like they had been taken with my old camera. But, how practical is a camera that only works in the dark???

I called Canon support and they took me through the same steps I had already tried, finally suggesting that I ship it in for service. They were very friendly, helpful, and professional, but they couldn’t replace the product, only service mine and return it to me in about 3 weeks.

After considering my 30 day return window with Amazon, I decided by the time I would get it back from Canon, if I wasn’t satisfied, I wouldn’t be able to return it. So I declined the Canon service and simply returned it to Amazon, which was also a very simple and painless process.

We ended up spending less than half as much on a Polaroid t1031. It doesn’t have all the cool features the Canon has (no video either), but it does have image stabilization, a rechargeable battery, and the greatest part… it takes good pictures! And she has some money left in her pocket so that’s a good thing as well.

I won’t say, “Don’t buy a Canon” because I love my old one and the features and customer service are great. I will say, “Don’t be afraid to return it.” Most of the reviews are great, but sometimes you get a lemon like I did. I chose not to make lemonade, I sent it back and got some pretty delicious orange soda. YUM!!!

5 Stars Great: But early to tell
The camera arrived quickly but does not come with a memory card so we couldn’t us it until we figured out which memory card we needed…this was another $30. Camera seems to work fine although we haven’t used it enough to judge the battery life. Overall, quite happy with the camera and it came highly recommended from a friend so we expect to enjoy it as much as she has…

5 Stars Wonderful
I love this camera ,I’ve been looking for a small digetal with a view window for some time ,almost all of the newer cameras come with out and you can’t see on a sunny day what your taking. Easy to use . I had to download the instruction DVD booklet ,136 pages for all of it uses so i wish it had come with it in booklet form other than that it’s a great camera and a great price.

5 Stars A huge improvement
This Canon SD1200 was purchased as replacement for my old Olympus Styus 300. It has triple the megapixels, a much larger screen, and no longer has that long irritating delay between pushing the button and getting the shot. Also, it’s only about half as thick and fits a pocket even more easily. I got mine in the fun orange color.

I’m just an amateur, but the ease of use and picture quality are vastly improved. And now that the SD1300′s are out, perfectly good 1200′s can be found at bargain prices. I recommend it.

5 Stars Awesome Camera
I first bought the Olympus waterproof camera and I was disappointed with the picture quality. I didn’t know Cannon had a waterproof/shockproof/freezproof camera as well! I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and I couldnt be happier! It takes great underwater shots in the pool and still is a great point and shoot. I used it bar hopping with the friends, taking pictures at the pool, and going fishing up in the Sierra’s. I couldnt be happier. It was even dropped by a friend while bar hopping from about 5 ft and nothing happened to the camera’s functioning.

The only thing they could add is high def video, since most camera’s come with it now a days.

4 Stars Good Product but has some issues – can’t be your only camera
The Canon D10 malfunctioned once with the error message of “Lens Error”. We read some reviews online that had the same problem. Some of the reviewers returned the product while others just waited for the error to disappear. Since this is not our only camera, we just waited till the next day. We removed the battery overnight. The next day we replaced the battery and it worked. We have not gotten that error message again but we rarely use it. I hope it works when we need it to take that breath-taking picture

4 Stars Does the Job
i don’t know what the problem is? i had purchased this camera for a huge family vacation at the Bahamas. I read the reviews and the problems that might occur, (water seeping into camera etc) i did research and came to the conclusion that this was the best camera for price. After reading reviews regarding warrenty etc, i made sure i followed instructions carefully and made sure ALL CLOSURES were closed (battery flap etc)

turned out to be an excellent camera and would recommend it. Made the vacation snorkeling and swimming that much better!

5 Stars Surprising quality!
I bought the Canon PowerShot D10 this past winter, for a Caribbean vacation. I didn’t have time to read the manual, but the back-panel controls were very intuitive and easy to figure out. It worked SO WELL in the water! I took it with me in the surf, in the pool, on a snorkeling trip, and the pictures all turned out wonderfully. Once I finally had time to read the manual I realized that it offers more adjustments than I’d realized – and, after playing around with it a bit, I’ve found it can adapt to just about any shooting situation. My “real” camera is a Nikon D80 digital SLR … but, on my next vacation, the PowerShot is coming along instead – it’s much more portable, offers just as many megapixels, and I won’t need to worry about using it in the rain.

4 Stars Water leaked in above 33 feet – but Canon handled it well
Hello!

I anxiously awaited this camera because I had previously had a leaky waterproof Olympus camera. I had previous been very loyal to Canon and Nikon, and I regretted going to Olympus and having trouble. So was quite excited that Canon was getting into waterproof cameras.

The camera is great – great images, easy to use, great video, etc. But water leaked in rather quickly and at about 8 feet in a pool and then later in the ocean.

Each time it leaked, the LCD display would go off and there was water in the lens area. I was able to leave it alone for a few days each time and it would “repair itself” as it dried out. But this last time (the third time) it refused to turn on any longer. So I begrudgingly sent it in.

It’s been about ten days now and I got my camera back today – a new one! I think it may be slightly updated as well. I’m very excited to have it back; it has come with perfect timing.

So yes, I do actually recommend this camera (despite the leaks) because Canon handled it well and it really is a great item.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12 1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2 5 inch LCD Black

It may be the slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created, but the impact couldn’t be bigger. The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH captivates the senses with bold saturated colors and a daringly original design that matches the intensity of Canon’s most innovative camera technology. Even when picture-taking conditions seem pretty unforgiving, you’ve got Canon on your side. So the shots you used to miss are the images you’ll now be sharing, and the movies you never took before will be HD unforgettable.

4 Stars Great product
I previously had a Canon digital camera. I really like the small size of the camera. It takes quality pictures and the functions are easy to use. I would recommend to family and friends.

5 Stars Truly outstanding
When our Nikon Coolpix died, we were left with a lot of usable accessories, etc. But I compared all the reviews and this Canon stood out, so I bought it instead of another Coolpix. From the first picture taken in a dimly lit kitchen to pictures taken from a slow-moving bus to pictures of two dogs walking down a wooded path, I have been amazed and pleased. The camera is super-quick to focus and very quick to take a picture. The stabilizing feature, the ability to capture movement (in auto mode), the adaptation to any lighting condition and any focus challenge all amaze me. The ease of use and image quality makes me want to pull the camera out at every opportunity–it’s not just handy, it’s good! For about $50 more than my defunct Nikon, I have a far better camera that takes pictures as good as my much bigger ultra-zoom.

I did not buy it for the video, but I enjoyed filming dolphins sporting in the Atlantic from my motel room balcony and then editing the video right in the camera to cut out the frames of empty ocean–the sound was surprisingly clear, too.

I am now actually grateful that my wife took the old Coolpix sea kayaking (though it might have been moribund anyway). And I am glad I did not follow my leftover Nikon accessories to the purchase of another so-so camera.

4 Stars Great Camera
This is my first digital camera. It was necessary for me to read the basic part of the instructions to operate it, but it was easy to learn. It’s lightweight and fun to use.

5 Stars best camera i’ve had yet
camera is really small and compact, the 3x zoom isn’t impressive but it’s only for taking pictures with your friends. The HD video is good! 720p, the microphone isn’t as great as others though, I suggest getting a Flip if your looking for recording video.

Features?

not too many…

my aunt has a sony cybershot and it’s loaded with features,

BUT, i believe canon has way better picture quality,

there is almost no shutter lag but focusing it may take a second

that’s all for now.

1 Star Lousy Picture Quaity
I’m in a real minority here, and even though the camera is great in most all respects, the thing the camera is for – taking pictures – the camera I received produced terrible quality pictures. They were blurry appeared out of focus and were not usable. Nothing I could do seemed to be able to fix it, so now the camera is back at Amazon and I will get a refund shortly, I hope. This would have been my third Canon SD Power Shot camera and the others have been great, but are old and becoming limited. This could be a quality control problem, or poor handling between wherever and here, and concerns only the unit I got. So my question is – should I try the same model again or move on elsewhere. Anyone have any advice?

With a 20x wide-angle zoom, the 12.1-megapixel PowerShot SX20 IS offers intelligent, versatile shooting power. Switch to Smart Auto mode for effortlessly great results, or shoot stunning HD movies.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Awesome camera
I just got the SX20is and it functions very well, it’s easy to use and the picture quality is very good considering it’s a 12.1 MP, I highly recommend this camera to those who want to spend alot on an expensive camera, the price is just right for the SX20is.

Not to forget, the zoom is awesome as well.

5 Stars Great for those learning photography
This is a great beginners or intermediate camera, I love it! I’m by no means a photography expert, but wanted something more advanced and professional than what we had for taking pictures of our daughter – this camera is perfect. It’s fast, quiet, and easy to handle.

The Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is wonderful – many pictures that I would take of my daughter ‘on the go’ would often end up blurry or fuzzy and this feature greatly reduces or eliminates this problem.

I definitely like the Smart Auto feature, for somebody like me who isn’t much into the technical side of photography this feature is terrific – I don’t have to worry much about things like light, and shadow and settings, the camera analyzes everything for me and produces the best pictures automatically.

Another feature I really like is the ability to just hook the camera up to an HD-tv to view the pictures or video footage that is on the camera – instant viewing on the big screen, there’s nothing like it.

For the price and amount of features I’m very pleased with this camera.

5 Stars Beyond expectations
After reading several reviews, in different web sites, I decided to buy the SX20IS. However, the critics had lowered my expectations regarding the zoom range and high ISO usability. To my (good) surprise, I was able to get excellent pictures with both low light (which caused ISO to be set automatically to 400) and zoom in the range of 10 to 20 with no stable support, just holding the camera the best I could. My son, who has an SLR, was also amazed at the night photos. The combination of high ISO and Image Stabilization guaranteed reasonably sharp pictures in difficult comditions. Granularity is perceived only at ISO 800. This camera has extended the reach of photography, enabling the common user to take pictures they would never try.

5 Stars Canon Camera
I love, love, love this camera. I have only used it a few times, but it is awesome. I used the video once and if there is one drawback it is the quality of video playback on my computer. I haven’t had the chance bo get a connector cable for my HDTV yet, so can’t comment on that.

5 Stars Almost a DSLR
We are taking a trip to Alaska soon and wanted a camera with good telephoto capability. I really wavered bettween the Canon Rebel T2i with a good telephoto lens and the SX20.($349 vs. about $1200+) I decided on the SX20 becaused I didn’t want to lug around extra lenses, however I suppose someday I will have a DSLR.

Here are my pros and cons for the SX20

Pros

1. Seems well contructed. Not much plastic.

2. Good auto focus. I have not had the problems other have had with bad focusing.

3. Excellent HD video. In good light the video is great and you can zoom and auto focus which I don’t think you can do with a DSLR. Can be a bit grainy in low light, but acceptable.

4. Articulated LCD. I like being able to shoot from many different angles and flip inside to protect from scratches when not using.

5. Electronic viewfinder. This is great because you can see all of the same info that is shown on the LCD if there is too much light to see the LCD.

6. Zoom is terrific. I have even had okay pictures at 80x with a tripod. At 20x in good light pictures are almost always good. I have not seen any distortion. I took a picture of a quarter moon at 80x showing a good view of craters. My photo friends could not believe is was not through a telescope

7. Battery Life. Seems very good so far. I am guessing 300-400 still pix per battery set.

8. Lots of different scene and manual settings.

9. Flash seems pretty good. Red Eye reduction works well.

10.Bayonet threads on the lens allow for a 58mm filter adapter from a 3rd party. It does work well. Why didn’t Canon do this? I have polorizer on all the time.

Cons

1. A bit heavy and definitly not a pocket camera.

2. The Control Dial is really bad. You need a very light touch when turning the dial or you start messing around with other functions like Manual Focus and Self Timer functions.

3. Not sure about low light capability. I think this may be where a DSLR will do much better.

Overall I am pleased. I am anxious to try on Alaska trip.
