  • Very Nice Point & Shoot Camera
Color: Silver
My Sony DSC-W150 encountered an issue as the slot holding the memory card apparently lost a pin or clip as the card would not longer stay in the camera. Everything else worked great. I shopped around and based upon lots of reviews opted for the Canon PowerShot A4000 as being the closest comparable. There are some features on the A4000 that are better than the Sony. The Canon has 16 megapixels while the Sony 8.1 megapixels. The Sony has a 5 X zoom while the Canon has 8 X zoom. I will keep the rest of the review to the Canon. The body of the Canon is aluminum, however the door holding the memory card and the battery appears to be plastic which at times does not always open or close that freely. The metal tri pod bush is metal and that is good. The screen is a large 3 inch LCD and thus far has worked great both inside and outside. There is no viewfinder and this seems to be common on today’s lower priced point and shoot cameras. The camera comes in four different colors thus get the one that suits you. Mine is red. There is 720p HD for movie shooting and the quality on just the one I have taken is good. The off/on button is on the top of the camera and if you have big fingers you may find at times the button is a little hard to turn on and off. It is rectangular and less than ½ inch long and imbedded directly into the case at almost case level. Canon advises this button is sunken into the body to prevent accidental depressing when you’re trying to take a picture. The telephoto feature is triggered by the rotating button that surrounds the shutter button. It works fine. The back of the camera is dominated by the 3 inch screen which is not all that bad. The buttons for changes is located on the right and consist of five buttons plus the center ring which has control over four functions. One of the buttons is the top one which is dedicated to the video which I found was easy to operate. The shutter button seems to have a small delay, thus after pushing the button it takes a moment for the shutter to click. I am getting used to it. After power up the shutter button takes a little over two seconds for it to be activated. The memory card is an SD card which is good as it is common and readily obtainable even when traveling. I guess the last question is does it take pictures? I find the quality very acceptable for a point and shoot camera. I use this camera primarily for taking quick photos while traveling and in places that a large digital camera might not be acceptable. Food review pictures are easy to take and after three of four, just drop the small camera in your pocket and this disturbs no one. I have not attempted to make any enlargements for printing as I use a large digital camera for that. This is a nice traveling companion and easily fits into your pocket so you can be ready for that unusual shot. ... show more

  • Great Camera, Great Company
Color: Blue
My boyfriend bought me this camera in March and it worked great. It's easy to use, the color is so pretty (I got blue), and it's so easy to upload the pictures to my computer. Plus the program that comes with the camera automatically sorts the pictures in my folder into separate folders by date which is so convenient and makes the photos easy to sift through and find. A few months after having the camera, I pulled it out of the case and every picture had a line across the image, even when I uploaded the pictures to my computer. I emailed Canon and they told me to send it in. I had to pay for shipping to get it to Canon, but once I sent it in, Canon had returned to me a refurbished camera in less than a week with a brand new battery and charger, all the accessories, so now I have two of each of those. The camera works great and I didn't have to pay a cent for the repair because I believe it was soon enough after I bought it. I had ended up sending it in almost six months after purchasing it. I am very pleased with Canon's service. They emailed me back in a timely fashion with all the details I needed and then my camera was returned to me completely fixed so quickly and with new accessories. I don't usually write product reviews, but I wanted to give Canon the shout out they deserved for this. I will have no problem buying a Canon again. ... show more

  • Great size for a "purse camera."
Color: Silver
I am replacing a c. 2005 Olympus point-and-shoot digital camera. Anything newer would be vastly superior. I was considering the Canon PowerShot G15 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom as a do-it-all camera, but I take a lot of action photos. I need a *fast* camera--a DSLR. So I went all the way up to a Canon EOS Rebel T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 18-135mm EF-S IS STM Lens, but I am not going to keep that in my purse! Why miss a great shot simply because I don't have my camera with me? This little cutie will always be with me wherever I go. I could hardly wait for the battery to charge! Being familiar with digital cameras, I figured out the interface within minutes. I ran the camera through all its combinations. Fun! An 8x zoom and all the cool auto settings--including "toy camera" and fisheye--are fun to play with. Image stabilization means that I can do hand-held shots in less-than-perfect lighting and get a good image on the first try most of the time. Saves a lot of time when processing images. If you don't plan to read the user manual on CD, you'll be missing out on a lot of great information about the features. IT IS WORTH THE TIME TO LEARN HOW YOUR CAMERA WORKS. Look at the CD. More than once. Until you learn what all the controls do. The battery charger is small -- no cord! :-) The prongs flip out and then back in again. The charger lies flat against the wall when it is in use. There is an indentation so you can use the second electrical socket at the same time. The automatic lens cover is very delicate. Do not quickly lay the camera lens-side down as it is still closing. I got something caught in there, but the camera seemed OK after I opened and closed it a few times to check. I am very pleased with this choice for a "purse camera." When I need a better image, or ability to shoot rapid fire, I'll have the "big girl" DSLR. When I use the cable to connect the A4000IS to my Win 7 PC, I get the option of deleting the images off the camera right after they're downloaded to the PC. Saves me a step later. You can also mark certain images as "protected," so that they will not be deleted except when you format the camera's memory card. Maybe take a photo of your contact information, and protect that? The cable also works with my Canon Rebel, so right after I empty one camera, I stick the cable into the other and download off that one as well. UPDATE - JUNE 2, 2013: Within two months, this camera started to lose its ability to focus on something close in bright sunlight. It progressively got worse. The lens cannot focus and the shutter does not fire. The shutter will fire for long-range subjects, but the image is blurry. I did some online research. I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I CAN SEE DUST BEHIND THE FRONT LENS ELEMENT when I go out into natural sunlight and move the camera back and forth to give me some 3D perspective. I contacted Canon via e-mail. The recommended solution is to send in the camera for cleaning. Will this be a permanent fix? Am I better off just returning this camera, and starting all over? I'll be back for an update. UPDATE - JULY 5, 2013: I sent the camera to Canon. As soon as it arrived at their repair shop, they sent me a message by e-mail. Within 24 hours, they wrote back again to tell me that the camera could not be repaired for lack of parts. Really? It's relatively new. They sent me a reconditioned replacement. By FedEx. Faster than I was expecting. So I'm back in business, with only about a week of downtime. I'll watch this new camera for the same problem, but I'm happy to have my little purse camera back again! I appreciated Canon's fast response and their willingness to do what it takes to make me love this camera again. Canon sent a follow-up e-mail to ask how I liked their repair service. I think they are trying hard to make their customers happy. UPDATE - NOVEMBER 20, 2013: I am now on the THIRD camera. And I think that the auto focus is starting to go. Again. I assume that if the problem is a one-time fix, the reconditioned cameras that Canon has been sending me should stay fixed. But they haven't. I probably have time to return it two more times for replacements before the warranty is up. But will I bother? What's the point? I need a purse camera that will last for more than the one-year warranty period. So I have to downgrade my rating from 4 stars to ... two? One? Maybe one is all I can rate this camera. Pitiful. I wanted so badly to love it. UPDATE - JANUARY 14, 2014: I am approaching the end of the one-year warranty. I will return the camera one last time for a replacement. But I will not be able to let it rattle around loose in my purse. The dust eventually kills it. A local Canon dealer recommended I go with a sealed-lens camera such as the Canon D20. I'm not all that excited about giving up some of the image clarity for the durability. So I'm really on the fence. And the tops of the fence slats are poking me in the butt. I guess I'll keep the A4000 in my purse, but also put it inside a camera case to reduce the amount of dust it encounters while it's in there waiting for me to whip it out for a quick snapshot. I LOVE THIS CAMERA! It feels so wonderful in my hand. It takes decent photos for a camera of its size. I only wish it didn't succumb so easily to dust in the lens. UPDATE - JULY 8, 2014: Despite my care in keeping this fourth A4000 in a case when not actually using it, the dust returned after a few months, the same length of time as the last three cameras. So this is the end. I gave the camera to my husband to see if he could clean it. Everything was so tightly assembled that there was no way to take it apart without destroying the components. So that explains why Canon would simply give me a new camera each time. There is no way to repair an A4000. I am off in search of a "purse camera" that won't slowly die from internal dust. A waterproof camera such as the Canon D20 or D30 seems to be my only option now. I simply ask too much from a camera. Out of focus snapshots are not going to make me happy. I still have my Canon Rebel 4Ti when I need a really good, clear image. ... show more

  • Returned this camera shortly after purchase
Color: Silver
I was extremely disappointed in this camera. I own a Canon DSLR but wanted a smaller, more compact camera to be able to take pictures with. It is capable of taking great pictures but all of the conditions have to be just right. The shutter speed was unbelievably slow. While trying to take a picture of my child playing, by the time the camera actually took the picture they were long out of the shot. If you hold the button down to "force" the camera to take the picture, it was horribly blurred and defeated the purpose of taking the picture in the first place. Even when waiting for the camera to focus, the pictures were not of the quality I have come to expect from Canon. I tried using different features, settings and everything I could think of but nothing changed the fact that this camera is not worth buying. I knew that it was not capable of operating at the same level as my DSLR but I still expected it to operate at a basic level of "point and shoot" and take good pictures. ... show more

  • Wonderful Camera
Color: Blue
The little camera is a charmer. The picture quality is color perfect. Has a big LCD display. The response time of the controls and zoom are very snappy. It has 8x optical zoom and if you keep your finger on the zoom it continues after a slight warning pause onto digital zoom for 32x. Yeah, the pic will get a bit grainy at that level but you've got lots of pixels to work with. What I really like is the light weight and it fits into my shirt pocket. Or, get the Case Logic case and snug it into your pants pocket or a purse. It's so light, you will actually take this one with you and use it. The price is great for the quality and I love the blue color. Yes, the purist will say there are compromises with a super small camera like this but it's not a concern for the average person taking snapshots and the occasional movie. I've had larger Canons but I like this one the best because it's usable and has plenty of features. Macro photography (closeups) is automatic and really easy. Canon did a great job on this camera. ... show more

  • Great Little Camera
Color: Black
I needed a new camera for just taking pictures of my family. This camera was a great price and after using it I think a great buy. It takes very clear, crisp photos and it very easy to use. Once and a while it does have a shutter delay, but I've tried many other more expensive's cameras that have the same issue. The video on it also works well but you have to make sure that you hold the camera horizontal or the video comes out sideways and I have not figured out how to rotate the video as I do with a still photo. I think for anyone who just wants to enjoy taking photos this camera would be great. ... show more

  • Buy it now, on Amazon!
Color: Silver
Fantastic camera. Typically, although I enjoy owning a newer, nicer camera, there is a part of me that kind of dreads it. Because any time I buy a new camera, I have to take the time to figure out how to operate it. In my opinion, Canon, ( at least with this model ) made it easier. ( Not Apple easy ). The LCD screen is large, easy to see, everything seems to work right. Although some may be stuck on the fact that it is a little larger, and heavier than a lot of digital cameras, keep in mind, that extra size and weight equates to better quality. Similar to buying a smart phone. If an electronic device feels 'plasticy' and fragile, or is an off brand (you know, the brands that you can't seem to find on CNET), it may be cheap, but, you really do get what you pay for. Pay the extra 10 - 70 dollars, and get something that works, and lasts for a long time. If you really get lucky, it will last until it is out dated. ... show more
