Canon - PowerShot A530 Digital Camera —

I read so many reviews on this camera before buying it and was very disappointed after buying it. The pictures aren't that great and it eats batteries like crazy - even the rechargables. The time between shots is way too long and the flash doesn't work for night time distance shots. STILL looking for a great digital! Its not very user friendly either. My last camera I just picked up and started using it right away - you actually need to read the manual for this one.
