So, this isn't my camera, but I did have to use it for a school project.  The project involved taking close up pictures of nature and insects, and boy, did this camera live up to expectations.

It's very slim and portable, and has a lot of settings that you can play around with: auto, manual, digital...

This camera was my first ever digital camera, I received it as a Christmas gift two years ago.  I've absolutely loved it since then, had no problems I can think of.  I love its small size; it easily fits into my purse or pocket.  Also like the convenient carrying strap that comes with it for when I want to make sure it doesn't fall from my hands.

 The battery life is great, I've never had a problem with it dying on my unexpectedly.  Anytime the battery is running low, I have plently of time to finish my picture taking for the day and plug it in overnight (not that it needs to charge for an...

This was my first point and shoot digital camera, bought over a year ago in May of 2006. I chose Canon for its reliable status in the photography world, and knew I would be trusting my money with an excellent product. Having a recharable battery was a must, as I was not going to go out and buy expensive AA/AAA batteries every weekend. This camera uses recharable lithium-ion batteries, and comes with the charger.
The mega-pixel count is modest, at 5.0. Newer models like the SD1000 hold 7-8 MP. One thing to be careful of is not zooming in to full capacity, or 12x, because it drastically lowers...

the canon sd450 does a great job with the standard point-and-shoot moments that you need a small camera for. lots of options and settings so you can customize your shots, as well as lots of little "fun" extras to play around with. it also has a lot of "enhanced" settings like underwater or flora, which alter the color levels as well as light and ISO.

maybe not the best camera for "night" shots though - without the flash the photos do tend to run a little dark, even with the speeds and ISo adjusted, but with the flash everything is good to go.

you will want to purchase an extra battery for the...

Canon Power shot SD 450 Digital camera - I love this Camera. I have owned it for three years now and never been disappointed with this camera. I carry this camera whenever i go for a trip. This camera comes handy anywhere and very simple to use. Very simple to use and the picture quality is very good. I love this camera and did not find any fault with it. Only issue is sometimes the screen gets scratched easily. you need to be careful in handling the screen otherwise its just fine.Try to get a decent carry case for this camera then you don't need to worry about the scratches.  The zoom works great...

This is not my first Canon digital camera.  I've been using Canon for over 5 years and have been an avid promoter of the brand... until now.  I have had this camera less than a year.  I've sent it off for repairs twice and even now it's unreliable.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  You never know if you should or shouldn't use the flash because it may or may not make the photo blurry (even in kids/pets mode), over half the time you can't take a picture at all because it simply locks up.  If you merely take posed pictures it's fine, but I take candid photos... all the time.  My...

My boyfriend has a high powered Pentax camera, complete with movie handle and all the other perks. It takes really good pics, but I got a good hands on comparison during a weekend trip recently. We were out of town for the weekend and on our way into the city, there were some sites I'd always wanted a pic of. I figured my boyfriend's camera would be the best option, being high powered and all, but the motion kept blurring the picture and I could not get a good shot. So on the way out of town, I grabbed my trusty Canon Powershot and voila! Picture perfect, no blurring and he didn't even realize... review »

If you want to take pictures of daily life as it happens, have alot of little people always climbing all over you, need to capture pictures quick...then this is the camera for you.

As a Mom who is trying desperately to record these children and their "activities" (I use that term loosely) this camera has been through the ringer...dropped on occasion, taking for a photo shoot in the back yard by my 2 year old with her sticky fingers, and buried in the sandbox.

Magically,,, it has survived and takes pictures as beautifully as it did when I received it.

Pics are clear, love the b&w feature, and the...

It is reliable and takes pictures, like a camera should, but I'm sure tehre are better cameras developing out there now that have better settings. One pro is taht it is pretty easy to use for the average customer and i've never had too much trouble with it. one thing i disliked about it was how it was hard to take nonstill photos unless i somehow adjusted the settings. i'm not quite sure what the criteria was for why they were not still and why they were, but most of the time it wasn't too much of a problem. i'm not sure if this is how cameras normally are, one con about it was that the color setting... review »

I bought my camera a couple of years ago and I like it a lot. I just point and shoot and it works well for that. I have had a very big problem with red eye. All of the pictures of me are red eyed and when you go to fix it up it doesn't work very well. The eyes just come out funny. Since I use my camera a lot the screen gets dirty but when you go to wipe it off it gets scratched way too easily. If you take the time to read all of the features this camera can do a lot if you know how. I like how small it is and I like that it can do small videos. You can't zoom in or out while filming but it is pretty... review »

I was very impressed of the small package of this camera and still have quality photos come out of it.  Fits easily in a pocket or a purse, and can be straped around your hand or around your neck with included straps.  The menu system is very easy to navigate.  In less than 10 minutes I was up and running taking valuable photos for our memories.

The Canon PowerShot SD450 is the best digital cameral I've ever had.  In fact, my first was stolen and I went right out and bought another.  It's so easy to carry around - I have it on the strap of my purse so that it's with me all the time.  No excuse for not being able to capture that extraordinary moment with the pets or grandkids.
