After less than a month and about 400 pictures took it, I got a "Lens error, restart camera" (not the first one with this problem Canon should know about it so far). Without any drop or hitting the camera. I was on trip mad to not viable to take more pictures. There is no international warranty.

not too bad (Jarrod Love, 2008-11-12)

Overall, bang for the buck, a good little handy camera for decent pictures and easy to use.

Great first camera (Slomom, San Luis Obispo, CA, 2008-11-11)

I purchased this camera for my 7 year old daughter's birthday and she hasn't stopped taking pictures since we put the batteries in! The controls are so easy that I only looked at the manual after I'd figured everything out. My daughter can also work the camera on her own which was exactly what I was looking for. The other huge plus is that it runs on regualar AA batteries, so replacement is quick and painless. I highly recommend this little beauty to anyone - young, old, or inbetween.

I brought this camera for my daughter and she loves it, I knew she would I also have a canon camera. Just about everyone in my family has one and never had a problem with it. I would highly recommend that you buy this camera, the price is pretty reasonable.
