Cannon Sure Shot Camera
I looked all over the stores for a camera that uses film (not ready for the digital move yet.) Film cameras were impossible to find. Found just the one I use to have on Amazon. Ordered it and it came in a few days in perfect condition and at a very reasonable price. Very happy with the purchase.

Probably the best point-and-shoot film camera [4 1/2 Stars]
I got this camera two weeks ago as a gift. Almost exactly what I wanted: lightweight and small enough to fit my pocket. The plusses are:
1. Superb picture quality for both indoor and outdoor photos.
2. Advanced features that are only available on SLRs. These are ACTION mode (keeps moving subjects in focus), REAL-TIME modes (shutter releases immediately when the button is pressed) and manual exposure correction +/- 1.5 f-stops.
3. Three AF modes: 3-point AF, center point AF, and servo AF.
The Sure Shot 90u, as far as photo quality and camera features go, is effectively a pocket-sized SLR. So why not award 5 stars? My reasons are:
1. No weatherproofing. I also take photos at pool parties and the beach. Sure, a waterproof disposable would do, but I want high-quality photos!
2. The instruction manual is way too brief! Although it does an excellent job in showing how to operate the camera, it does not give any technical information. Also, there are no illustrative photos, e.g., photos to illustrate the effect of the red-eye reduction lamp.
3. A max shutter speed of (1/1000)s would be great!
4. The battery cover seems easily breakable.
5. The lens is slow: f/4.7. It is better than the f/5.6 on most cameras of this type, but not good enough. Why not f/2.8 like on the PowerShot A95?
6. A night light (like INDIGLO on Timex watches) for the LCD display would come in handy for night use.
This camera is superb and is a must-have for anyone who wants high-quality SLR-like photos without the bulk of an SLR and the skill of a professional or an advanced amateur. (The only serious gripe is the lack of weatherproofing.) Get this camera. Enough said!!!

No major flaws, but not recommended.
The 90u is a decent camera. It is very light, but with that being said, it also feels very cheap. The buttons and controls also feel cheap. The camera does what it is supposed to do - just like what any other point and shoot camera would do. However, at this price, I feel there are cameras out there with higher build quality, lens quality, and feel. No major flaws, but not recommended.

Don't buy this camera.
Bought this camera in August /September(for a gift). Didn't use it for a month and a half.I couldn't get camera to work. Called Canon, wouldn't replace it, kept getting a flashing "H" Got no warranty, Canon said it was a "diaognostic malfunction" No satification at all. Very unhappy about this purchase

Bad choice - camera leaks light & Canon won't fix it
I bought a Canon Sure Shot at a local camera shop and discovered in a few months that it had a light leak, which caused all my prints to be overexposed in one corner. Canon took it back for warranty repair, held onto it for several months, then returned it. Thinking it was fixed, I didn't bother verifying the repair within one year of the original purchase. It turns out that Canon did nothing to repair it, and Canon now refuses to do the repair that it should have done in the first place because the original one year warranty has expired. I'll never buy another Canon and advise others to consider both the lack of quality and service I've experienced.
