DEC

2007

I actually have a older model of this camera, but I like it very much. The main difference with mine is it takes 4 batteries instead of 2 now and the memory cards are nicer and less expensive now. Canon is a great brand, I've heard great things about them. I've talked to some professional photographers and they swear by them. This camera is great for everyday use, taking pics of the family, pets, friends, etc. I've found for action shots you need something faster, but I like it very much and would recommend it for the price.
