I love this camera! I got it a year and a half ago and it is one of my favorite toys. It fits perfectly in my pocket and is so easy to use. I bought a second battery and two flash cards, so I can always have a charged battery and empty card ready to go. The 6.0 megapixel size allows me to crop… read full review »

I've been using my Canon SD600 for over a year now, and this camera has many positive attributes.  That said, I will apologize in advance for perhaps posting the only somewhat negative review of an obviously popular digital point & shoot. — — First, the good: — —… read full review »

I got this as a gift last Christmas, and it was a nice replacement to my former clunky Kodak EasyShare. The Canon SD600 was a wonderful upgrade (and was a great value at under $200 w/ a rebate). For me, I am a point-and-clicker, but appreciate having a high quality product. The LCD screen is very large. There are many options for jazzing up your pics, such as intensifying the colors, black/white, sepia, monochromatic, etc. Downloading to my computer is very easy. It comes w/ a very small SD card, so I bought a 1G replacement which suits me fine. — — What really impressed me was… read full review »

This is a great camera.  Anyone can use it with no problem.  My 6 year old loves to take pictures and can work this very well and has figured out most of the features. — It is much smaller than my previous Sony camera which I also loved but my husband droped.  The Cannon was recommended to me by friends and since it was less expensive than the Sony I gave it a shot.   Since it is smaller you do have to get used to that "feel" but now it is good. — The lcd screen (I think that is what it is called) is very big for the size of the camera.  It is very… read full review »

i love my elph, more since i figured out the manual settings. the auto doesn't always take good shots, and the shutter speed is sometimes slow. i took it with me on a 6 week trip overland from finland to macau. i got some amazing photographs with this camera and didn't have to lug around a big heavy camera. the pocket convenience made up for a lot. sometimes, indoors the camera would blur without flash, but overexpose with flash. tricky. not to mention, flash is not allowed in many museums. i'd recommend using a tripod when possible. also had some problems with animal photography. my panda… read full review »

The Canon PowerShot SD600 has amazing features.  You can take photos in black and white, sepia, and many other colors.  There are settings for night shots, motion shots, sunny and beach shots, and much more! —  It captures amazing video and sound quality, and easily connects to your computer using a USB cord or by removing the SD card from the camera.  The battery lasts forever!  I used the camera everyday for two weeks and still did not have to recharge it! — It is a great camera to have because it is small enough to carry with you wherever you… read full review »

I totally love this camera.  I have had a few different digital cameras over the years and this is by far my favorite.  Easy to use and good quality pictures.  You can use it in all kinds of light, and settings.  It does take a little time to get used to your favorite settings but once you figure them out you can just point and shoot and you will have great pictures.  I wish I had been a little more careful with the screen mine is a little scratched up but my neice has this camera also and hers looks very nice still.  I am sure I use mine more and have taken it… read full review »

I Love this camera, I got this camera as a christmas gift and have taken it everywhere with me ever since. I've had the camera now for 2 years and never had any problem with it. It is very durable and compact. The 2.5" LCD screen is wonderful and not easily scratched. There are also lots of options to customize your picture such as blk/wht,sophia,night,firework,beach,snow,ect modes.The video mode is also great. The cameras battery last me through out the dayand is easy to charge also comes with a great little compact battery charger. I would recommend this camera to anyone from first… read full review »

Since I received this as a gift I am unsure of its value for the money paid for it since I didn't buy it.  However I have been VERY impressed with how easy it is to use.  The screen is large and easy to view (although sometimes grainy but the picture doesn't come out grainy so its no big deal).  I have never had a digital camara before but I had no trouble using this, at least in its basic form, I am sure it can do more that I'm still learning about.  One of the cons listed was no protection for the screen.  I am sure this is an issue with some people but has never… read full review »

I was hesitiant to switch to a new digital camera because I loved the photos that my old one took. Once I had my baby I realized that I needed a faster camera because infants don't wait for anyone! — The Canon Powershot SD600 was a great choice for me. I did alot of research and it got great reviews and wasn't too expensive.  The video is a nice option too! — Aside from not being able to use regular batteries as back up batteries, I am thrilled with this camera.  — I would recommend this camera to any new moms who aren't that computer savey but want to capture… read full review »

The cannon powershot is an amazing camera... it's slim design is awesome for someone with alot of stuff to carry around.  It takes amazingliy clear, crisp pictures and is very fashionable with the colors it is available in.  It is great for the girl on the go who cannot lug around a huge camera.  It is a cannon so you know that it is going to take amazing pictures.  It's quality os amazing and is very reasonably priced.  You can pick this camera up at any department store.  It makes a fabulous gift that any teenager would love as well as any adult.  —… read full review »

A grat little camera that does it all. I have taken quite a few pics with this small camera and have not been dissapointed wiht it. It takes great clear pics and it has a great many features that I love to use.The foliage feature is just awesome as it brings out the great rich colors of the outdoors. I have not had any problems with it. It does limit you to not zooming too far as the picture becomes grainy but, a great camera for closeups and small distances. I got a great price on it a year ago and have had no… read full review »

This camera is awesome! It has alot of different features that make it fun to use. It is very simple and after about an hr or two of playing with it you can pretty much figure it all out. I can take pictures of still or action / daytime or night shots in just the press of a couple buttons to change the settings. Very streamline- not bulky. No wierd lenses to attach. A cable and charger comes with it. Easy to find memory cards and acessories to fit it. Overall a great… read full review »

I have had my camera for over a year now and just absolutely love how great of pictures it takes.  The only thing about the camera that I don't like is that it will only date and time stamp the pictures if you have it in the postcard mode.  Otherwise, I love it and will probably stick with the Canon brand for the next higer end upgrade that I plan I purchasing within the next year.  The Power Shot line is a very excellent purchase the your… read full review »

This is an awesome camera. I would recommend it to everyone who just needs a camera to take pictures with, especially if you have litle ones. I have taken many great pictures of my son. My friend has a Sony and when she prints out her pictures, it doesn't compare to how great mine look. I love the look of Sony cameras, but if you're not into just buying something because it is cute, Canon cameras would be the way to go.… read full review »
