This is a great camera and very easy to use. It is definately user friendly. I also love the color.

Although I bought the camera as a gift, I used it briefly and it seemed very easy to use. In the short period that I "played" with it I took great pictures, downloaded them to my desktop computer, and in a matter of seconds printed some great 8x10 pictures. I also took some quick videos, easily connected the camera to the television, and viewed the videos on my big screen. In short, the Canon PowerShot has many features that make it a great little camera.

This camera takes good pictures, has a decent interface, and looks nice. But there's one major problem. After nearly a month of use, the camera turns on, reads "Lens Error", and the lens will not retract when turned off. Apparently this is an ongoing problem, it makes the camera completely unusable, and Canon does not admit that it's a problem. I have yet to try returning it. Wish me luck.

This camera is a great point and shoot camera. It is small, compact yet solid. It takes great pictures with little effort and allows immediate feed back on each picture. It has very little delay in the first shot or subsequent shots which was a significant issue with our first digital camera.

As much as I hate to give a positive review to a canon product, this really is an excellent camera. It is very easy to use and understand and is very small (easily fits in a pocket). This camera also uses SD cards which are easy to collect and exchange as needed. Additionally, the camera produces good IQ for a P&S. The camera is also fast to take a picture, it isn't like some other P&S cameras that flash orange lights and pre flashes for 30 seconds before actually making the exposure.

As for the negative, the software that comes with the camera is quite mediocre and difficult to use. If I didn't have a card reader I'd be pretty upset about that.
