After $600.....

$600 dollars I spent in my first Sony SD40 camera long time ago. 3 years later I was still not able to take my desired pictures and still reading the manual to learn it's features.With the Canon A85 I can take not only regular pictures but also, close-up using the macro feature, short movies and make my own posters.For someone who is not a professional photo taker nor a photoshop pro user, this A85 is the perfect, affordable, friendly user and light weighted camera to own.My 2 cents....

Unuseable Garbage

I've owned this camera for over a year and I have gotten perhaps 2 or 3 decent photos from it. This could be a good camera if you are willing to spend 20-30 hours learning to use it, but I have no idea. I've spent several hours learning this camera and it is always able to come up with a new reason to "not work". The most user-unfriendly devise I have ever owned!...

Do Not Purchase

This camera is a wonderful camera when it is working.Which after over the past 13 months of owning has only worked maybe 4 of those months.I finally packed it up and sent it back to canon.I still have not heard from them.I was told that it was errors in the hard drive from camera store techs.I feel that a name like Canon means Quality and Customer Service.This camera and company did not offer me either.I Do not reccommend this Digital Camera. It will break down....

I am very pleased with it

I know some people have expressed dissatisfaction with the 'grainy' quality of the images.I guess it depends on what you are trying to do with it.I did some research, and this camera was recommended to me for what I like to do, which is take pictures of old buildings and sculpture.As it turned out, this camera was wonderful for that, because the pictures are very evocative.I took it on vacation and I liked the result of my nature pics, too.The photos have a 'softer' look that is a bit different...

Great - until it dies...

I've had this camera for 13 months, and I've been extremely happy with it for these 13 months. Very easy to use, with the "scene modes"; AA batteries, so you never really have to worry about charging, because you can have a few batteries at hand; never had to read the manual; very good picture quality, upto 8x10 prints; pops into any computer with USB.But then, one day, after these 13 months, the camera errors out with E18. For all I can see, the camera is dead.Search the web for "canon E18", you...
