A Great Camera at a Great Price.

This is a really nice kit at a great price.  The camera is a most capable point-and-shoot, with enough useful features to make it fun but not so many extra (useless) features to over-complicate operation. The two coolest features, I think, are the panoramic mode and the three-shot burst mode. It's really easy to switch between still photos and video, as well. There have been several point-and-shoot cameras in our house, and the only ones that haven't crapped out after a week are the Sonys. I still have a 9 year old Cyber-shot that works fine. A couple things I noticed about this one is that it deploys very quickly when powered on, and it doesn't shut itself off every 30 seconds. Also, battery life is noticeably longer than my other Cyber-shot cameras
  The rest of the kit is where the real value is. The case, media card, and extra battery, and USB card reader seal the deal, and the rest of the kit is icing on the cake. I gotta admit, I didn't see a need for two tripods. But I got this for my ten year old daughter, wh quickly deemed them both essential (For taking pet selfies and recording video of riding her bike down the stairs).
  I'd recommend this kit for the casual photographer. Sure you can get a less expensive camera, but it won't be a Sony, and it will disappoint you.

Purchased this camera for times when I don't want to carry my Nikon D80. I have found this camera to be great for almost all purposes. The Intelligent Auto setting produces very good images in most situations. The individual settings are quite good. The only drawback is that there is no way to set manual aperture and shutter speed, but I have not found that a drawback in the settings where I use this camera.
Has a very nice, bright LCD, and the 12x zoom is great. Images are sharp through most of the range of the lens, which is Leica glass. Shoots HD video, which I have yet to use.

I LIKE THIS CAMERA!!!I don't know very much about digital cameras,but after having this one for several weeks now,I cant imagine what an average digital camera is. I have used my 35mm Minolta for many years,and decided to get a digital. After exaustive research on Amazon and several other sites,i bought this one. It came from Willoughby's in New York City, all the way across the country from where i live. They helped me a lot to understand the camera after i bought it from them. My very first picture from this camera is on my desk top in my computer,17"x17".It is just as clear and crisp as the regular size picture is. I find that the manuals are easy to read,and are written for the average person to understand. The zoom on it is just one of the greatest parts of the camera.you can never have too much zoom. Anything less would not be adequate.the sequential picture mode is very fast,and CLEAR.The pictures load into my computer very fast and is easy to understand. For the money it is a great camera that rivals those costing a lot more. The more i use it, the more features i find,and how to use them.

I bought this camera a few days before my trip to Maine. The pictures it takes are very good and the menu is easy to use. The only problem I had with it was trying to take panoramas in the wind. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. This camera does everything I could ask with a great price.

This is a great camera.  The pictures are crisp and clear. The deal itself was fantastic, everything you need is here. I would recommend it to anyone. I loved it so much when I received it, I purchased another one for a relative!

This a really nice camera for the price. Decent optical zoom and 16 mp all for $89 shipped is a good deal. It's easy to point and shoot for good looking pics. It also takes regular double A batteries that you can get anywhere so that is a plus although it does seem to go through the batteries a little quicker than other cameras we've owned. All things considered it was a good purchase.

When I first read the reports about this camera, I was a little bit dismayed that Canon left off features like user-selectable auto-focus modes, flash exposure compensation, and selectable metering modes.  After some due reflection though, I can only remember a handful of times when I've used those features on my film cameras.  In the end, a six-megapixel digital SLR that can use the same lenses as my beloved Elan II, for under $1000 was an irresistable combination.
I haven't been disappointed.  I picked up my Digital Rebel at the end of February.  Since then, I've shot nearly 1000 frames, and I don't think I can be happier.  The pictures are crisp, with excellent color representation, and the camera is responsive and acts exactly the way I expect an EOS to act.  I've used it so far for landscapes, portrait, casual snapshots, and sports, and all of the pictures have been excellent.  I've had a number of them printed, including one at 20"x30".  Battery life is good, and I've yet to lose power during an outing.  Ergonomics are excellent and the camera is light and easy to carry all day.
My suggestions for anyone buying this camera is to get a large memory card, (The pictures will take up about 3MB a-piece.) a USB 2.0 reader for downloads, and lots of ink and paper for your printer.

Very satisfied .  A great camera for the money.  Good battery charge time.  Lots of interesting features.  I like to crank the ISO value all the way up and turn off the flash.  For a basic point and shoot you can't beat it.

A fantastic, reasonably priced, all-around digital camera!  This is my second one!

We're pleased with the quality of our images, and the features of this camera.
We are enjoying this camera and would purchase another Leica

This is an excellent camera for the money! It is small enough to carry in a pocket but still large enough to feel good and have a viewfinder so that you can turn the viewing screen off to save the battery. We have taken several hundred photographs so far and are still on the first set of batteries. The photos are excellent quality and the camera is easy to use but sophisticated enough to allow a wide variety of individual priority's such as aperture or timing. It also has the image stabilizer so that unfamiliar people can take photos without blurring them. I would buy it again without hesitation.

A very fine camera at a great price. Extras included things that are useful and nothing superfluous.  Delivery time was faster than promised! Prompt response to my emailed questions.

I've taken somewhere near 1000 pictures now with this camera, and all-in-all I'm very impressed.  This is a very good camera for its price.  It takes large (3Mb) pictures that are fairly sharp and generally very nice.  As an amateur (with just a little knowledge) I'm quite happy with my purchase.

Pros:
-Image stabilization works very well
-Lots of auto and manual modes
-Face tracking feature works great
-640X480@30FPS movies
-Optical zoom is sufficient for most situations
-Optical viewfinder is very nice to have when you can't see the LCD in direct sunlight
-When you are reviewing your shots, you can "zoom out" and look at 9 thumbnails at a time, then page through your photos and find a certain shot very quickly.

Cons:
-User programmable button is very limited (there are only about 6 things you can choose the button to do, and only one or possibly two of them are useful to me)
-Depending on how artistic you are trying to be with your composition, the face tracking can be a pain (i.e. trying to focus on an object in the background, the camera keeps picking something in the foreground for focus).  You can disable it, but it involves about 5 steps.

My only real gripe is that I wish I could put the focus mode on the programmable button so that I could switch between face-detect and center focusing(both points above).

You get what you pay for with this camera.  There are a lot more options (full manual shutter, aperture, white balance, iso, and focus controls) than with some of the cheaper models, but this camera definitely shoots at lower quality than a digital SLR.

I received this camera a few days after I ordered it, and I have been very pleased with it. The camera is very easy to operate, yet it offers a lot of functionality. I think it is an excellent choice for a moderately-priced digital camera. One of my primary goals was to obtain good battery life, and this camera does that. I purchased an 8GB Sandisk memory card that permits storage of 2500 pictures. I also bought the Canon PSC-1050 Deluxe leather case that can be attached to a belt, an accessory that was invaluable on our recent trip to Arches and Canyonlands parks. Whenever I wanted to take a picture, I simply pulled out the camera in a single motion with one hand. The lightness of the camera, its ease of use, long battery life, and the quality of the pictures make this a great purchase for its price.

The camera is excellent.  There are many features that more expensive cameras have and the ease of use is great.  I recommended the camera to two other people.  I think of the people that I spoke to just bought one.

I have owned this camera for over a year. The quality of the images is great. I bought it as a gift for my wife and needed it to be easy to operate. This camera is basically point and shoot!
The menu is easy to operate and the included software is user friendly. A great deal for the price I paid. I especially like the fact that it uses "AA" batteries. We do a lot of international travel and being able to replace the batteries with ordinary "AA" batteries is a definate plus in remote areas.
The flash illuminates well, even at distance.
