I received this Canon camera as a christmas gift last year and I love it!!!  I have a 2 year old and it takes great pictures of her running, jumping, and every other time she won't sit still.  I have never had a problem or taken a bad picture with it. The photo quality is just absolutley amazing!   The only bad part is that it won't even turn on with cheap batteries, it likes energizer the best.  But they last a good while. The zoom is great and easy to use, I can zoom in 16 times and still have a good picture.  I would reccommend it to everyone!
