 Not bad, still getting used to it December 1, 2008
I bought this camera from Amazon about a month ago to replace a 4 yr old Kodak. I went with this camera for the great reviews on multiple sites and because of the Canon brand. I don't intend to take a ton of pictures, but wanted something that could fit in a pocket and take good, quality pictures. The price being around $200 was good for me and the 3" LCD screen is great for viewing.
I did find the flash a bit annoying at first, but maybe that's because of my ignorance. It took me a while to figure out I had to push the button half way down to focus the lens on the subject and then take the picture. I was getting frustrated since I was trying to take pictures of my son and by the time the picture actually took, he was almost out of the frame. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Pictures look good, not as great as I hoped. Took some video at a children's concert and that looked good for a point-and-shoot camera. Hope to learn the camera some more!
very pleased December 1, 2008
I am a "point and shoot" type of photographer and just need the basics. This is a great camera at a great price.
 Poor quality when set on Auto November 29, 2008

I find picture quality in Auto Mode very disappointing. I am sure there is a way to improve it through one of hundreds of adjustable settings but if you are casual photographer like me this camera may not be the best option.
Specially inside, when using flash, picture comes out washed-out and very dark. Outside pictures on a cloudy day are slightly better. We have twin babies and take a lot of pictures inside, needless to say, my wife is very disappointed.
Another issue, you can put time stamp on the picture only if you lower quality to 2 MP. I find that really annoying.
On the good side, it is very fast, it takes pictures almost instantaneously and battery lasts forever. Pictures outside on sunny day are beautiful.
In my experience, if you are not interested in learning anything about photography and all you want to do is take nice pictures with camera straight out of the box I would not recommend this model. YMMV.
 Superb Camera November 29, 2008

This is the first point and shoot purchased since 2002. After reading numerous reviews both on amazon.com as well as newegg.com, going into Best Buy and playing with all point and shoots available (then reading their reviews), and playing with a friends Canon SD 770, we decided to purchase this model.
Our reasons being:
1) All point and shoot Canons have the Color Accent feature, which is way too much fun to play with.
2) The image quality, in our opinion, is equal, if not far superior to all other models we played with. The color was crisper, the image was clearer (mostly due to the IS), and the screen larger.
3) The price off Amazon.com was by far lower than any other retailer. It put the camera under $200, which was competitively priced, and allowed us to purchase a camera with more features than any other in that range.
So far the battery life has been good, the computer software easy to use, and the camera operation simple to learn. Reading the manual is a must if you plan to do much more than just use automatic.
All in all, no issues, good price, and fun to use!
