Loved it for 18 months

It worked great for nearly a year. A loose connection was fixed under warranty. At 18 months it died with an E18 error. The lens will not move in or out when turned on and then it beep and displays 'E18' on the display. We were on vacation so I replaced it with an A95. It's the only camera available at Best Buys that still uses CF memory cards. Hopefully Canon has the E18 issue resolved....

Beware the infamous E18 error

I purchased this camera almost 2 years ago. 6 months ago, it displayed the first occurence of the E18 error (problem in the lens mechanism), but recovered. It did that again last week and could not recover. Both times, it happened when I was on vacation. Search the web for E18 and you'll know what I mean. So, now I have a useless paperweight not worth spending money to get repaired. Now I will go for another canon, but an older model with a digital-only zoom, for 2 reasons a) the optical zoom on...

Great value for money

When I wanted to buy a 2 mp digital camera, everyone was telling me no 4 or 5 mp is better. My arguement was that I mainly intend to email photographs for which anycase I have to reduce the file size to about 100 kb each, then why pay extra to get a 5 mp camera? Also, expectation was that I would print 4 x 6 or a max of 8 x10 inch sizes. For this 2 mp should be just about fine. I saved nearly 100 dollars over the price of a 4 mp A80.I have now had the A60 for 9 months and have no regrets. Have mainly...

Great Camera for anyone!

I have had this camera for less than a year, and I love it! I bought it because I own a Canon film camera, and I love the brand. I was thrilled with the investment. The camera is easy to use, and fits in my pocket. It takes great pictures too! I love the fact that it can also take movie clips. It's a great camera that anyone could use easily. The only bad thing about it is that I wish it had more zoom. However, this camera is great for taking pictures at any occasion....
