Pictures ok...lens cover is not!
-
I am experiencing the same issues as many others who have posted on this forum.The camera takes decent pictures and is very easy to use but after 3 months of use, the lens cover doesn't open all the way.I sent it to the Canon Factory Service Center in Elk Grove Village, IL and am now arguing with them about this being a warranty repair. It seems that both the lens opening issus and the warranty repairs are common for at Canon and this Service Center.Including shipping, they want $97 to repair this problem.I paid $230 for the camera!They did offer to sell me a factory reconditioned A520 for $99!!

Good quality, good features, good price.
-
For the price, this camera is excellent.I am always satisfied with Canon's products.The 3.2 MP resolution may seem a little low, but if you have SuperFine turned on in your options, the pictures are plenty detailed (enough so that I can see details of my face that I would prefer not to in close up shots.)The zoom could be a little stronger; you will want to avoid the digital zoom (very poor quality, as with all digital zooms.)Other than that though, this camera serves its purpose well.

It's half the size of the one that rolled off my trunk lid
-
This camera has a lot of great bells and whistles, even live video cam. It is simple to use, I started snapping right away without even opening the huge manual. It has few complications, great sound effects, cool automatic zoom lens that pops out when camera is turned on. It's lightweight (when compared to the 2000 model that I recently ran over with my car, just in case the fall off the trunk lid didn't entirely smash it.) I suggest the light-weight (yet thick) fabric case for good handling protection when not being used. This camera is a keeper - until I manage to destroy it - somehow. The cost makes the loss less painful while I get outstanding digital photos in the meantime. What's not to like?!

Tough
-
I'm an Airborne Infantryman and I bring my camera with me on just about every training exercise we do. That includes jumping out of airplanes and running and diving into the dirt, and for all these things I've had my canon in my cargo pocket the entire time and it 's still working. It may be all scratched up, a crack that runs across the screen and I may have to open the shutter on the lens manually when I turn it on. But it still takes awesome pictures and it has NEVER giving me any trouble. This is one tough camera..
