good for the price
Now I have had it for 3 years, great pictures of outside spaces, not so good on the inside or dark areas. The best is that you can fit it everywhere, I always carry it with me (I used to forget my cameras and never take pics, does not happen with this one). Now there are better resolution cameras for the price that I paid, but Canon is the best for leisure use.

Excellent choice
I've owned this camera now for a few years. As a Computer Engineer and Computer Tech I am required to work a lot with digital cameras. I must say that this camera exceed all my expectations. Great quality, small, long battery life, great flash and many options. When I print the images at local stores (Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc.) the images are so sharp, some people think they are post cards.
Even though it's a bit outdated, I still recommend this camera. Don't let the megapixels fool you, it's all marketing techniques. Even though it is only 5MP, this is more than what most people need. I take most of my pictures at 1600x1200 which is not even using the full potential of the camera which goes up to 2592x1944, and still the images and printed photos come out spectacular. For those of you experiencing the "Memory Card Error", save your pictures first on the computer, you can use an SD adapter or if you have a memory card reader just plug it in. Once you have saved all of your pictures on the chip, perform a format of the chip on the camera, it is located after hitting the Menu button, point to Tools icon, then scroll down. The option to format is right under "Clock/Display". If you still continue to experience problems try a different brand of SD cards. I use Sandisk, RiData, and Kingston which work very well. Some of you have also been wondering about how to reset your camera to factory settings. Turn the camera on and press the Menu button for about 6 seconds. You will then be asked if you wish to reset to default settings, select yes. This solves a lot of out of focus problems or incorrect settings applied to the camera. If you have any problems with your camera just contact me, I'm willing to help.

Canon's great customer service
My daughter purchased this camera about 3 years ago. She absolutely loves it, but unfortunately, she tripped and fell with it in her hand. The display no longer worked but the camera still took great pictures. She tried to buy another but they were so expensive and all the stores said it would be cheaper to buy something new than get that one fixed. I called Canon and they said they would fix it for $99 + $7 shipping. She was ecstatic, so we sent it off to them. Canon emailed when they received it, then they emailed the next day that it was being repaired at no cost, and then they emailed the next day with the tracking number for FedEx, and we received it the following day. Canon said they fixed it as a courtesy. They didn't only fix the display, but they updated the software, fixed the zoom, which she didn't even think about at the time to ask them to also look at, and they even polished it so it looked almost new. It now works as if it were new. They had no reason not to charge us because it has been long out of warranty. I am extremely impressed with Canon, and in fact, I am asking for a camera for Christmas for myself and have specifically requested a Canon in light of this.

I use it everyday for 2.5 years and love it.
Great tool for carrying in a tiny purse ALL the time!
+ 2.5 years old and still works and looks like new
+ excellent battery life
+ compact - fits pockets and tiny purses
+ has a viewfinder - so when my LCD cracked (no apparent reason), I still could take photos!
+ great zoom for a point-and-shoot
- no memory meter until u have 2 seconds left!
- no manual shutter controller - but ok for a point-and-shoot
- LCD cracked on its own 1.5 years after i got it - no pressure was applied and no temperature extremes either. Fixed it for about $90 on ebay.
Overall, with so many minuses -a for 2.5 - 3 years old, 5MP camera with cracked LCD - its not the hottest thing anymore. Yet I get compliments on it all the time (size especially), maybe cause I use it everyday and love it.
