Digital camera Review: A Life 2 Remember
Summary: 5 Stars
My first camera a Christmas gift to myself! I wanted 2 c what they say they c when they look @ me (I c it; I like it; lol). Read the instructions and you should be able to figure out the rest through trial and error. I am still working out the kinks. I will get back to u when i try to download photo's to my computer/facebook. It shouldn't be rocket science or is it? For the price of this camera it apears to be a great buy! So far I have enjoyed my Canon.Digital camera Review: A great camera

I'm very happy with my purchase. This camera is easy to use and takes great pictures!Digital camera Review: AA's
Summary: 5 Stars
Best batteries yet! I'm tired of loosing the special cable necessary to charge the battery for camera. This is one of the few camera's I found that uses standard AA batteries. Doesn't matter if I'm traveling or at a school event, I'm not looking for an outlet to charge or a converter. I can carry extra batteries with me. Change 'em out and I'm good to go.Digital camera Review: All you'd want in a point and shoot

This is my third Canon. The other two were handed down while I got more pixels. It's simple to use and takes great pictures and short movies.Digital camera Review: Are you kidding me?
Summary: 1 Stars
I spent a year with a Canon Powershot A60 and I thought the picture quality was spectacular. We are talking only 2 megapixels here. So I got the A1100 IS with 12.1 megapixels and expected to be BLOWN AWAY. What I got, especially for landscapes, looked like very bad polaroids from the 1970s. Bad colors and unfocused. You Gotta Be Kidding Me. Canon's email help sent me the steps to reset the camera defaults. I did that but to no avail. Next step: their toll free phone service ... after talking with a very helpful service rep he realized I wasn't a total dilettante and advised me to return the item.
So I brought it back to the location of purchase and invited all the sales reps to see for themselves. They decided it was the camera and not an inept customer. They even pulled another A1100 IS off of their shelf and tried that with the same results. I received a full refund, but was very disappointed because, after all, I wanted a camera!
I believe that a bad lot must have rolled off the Canon production line. What else could explain such low quality? Certainly the prototypes could not have been this pathetic. The more positive customer reviews indicate that some good batches shipped out. (It is a surprise since I had a Canon AE-1 SLR 35mm in the good old days of film and it was awesome.) Caveat Emptor. (In boldface, italics, and underlined. Add a gazillion exclamation points.)
