Good Points

Great pictures. Can take AA rechargeable and standard batteries. Good range of manual settings.


Bad Points

Zoom can be hard to control. Viewfinder image not accurate.


General Comments

Bought the camera over a year ago now. Was well priced - I paid £200 but obviously now the A60 or even A70 would be the go. The camera was easy to get to use in Auto modes and even the manual options can be quite easily learned. The camera takes great photos- as good as many 3 meg cameras. And it can take great night shots too which the previous model could not. Good battery life. The only annoying thing is the zoom control which seems to have a mind of its own. Hard to make sublte changes to the zoom. Also the viewfinder is inaccurate. I find that you get a lot more on the top of the picture than it shows. I would certainly buy another Canon but would go for the A70 now.
