Customer Review: Great Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been waiting to get this camera for a while and got it about a month ago when it finally went on sale for under $225.00. I love it. It doesn't eat batteries as bad as most of the other digital cameras out there. The aluminum case is super sturdy. Picture quality is great. I got the viking 512 flash card on sale and it will take around 300 pictures at highest quality and highest resolution. Pictures print out well at 8 x 10. With the standard viking card at the highest resolution and size it will shoot about one frame per second. I would suggest getting the Ultra II compact flash card with the 9mb write speed if you plan on doing a lot of action sequence shots. I'll be getting it soon. Also having all the manual features available is great. Plus the camera is nice and compact and very ergonomic. Over-all I give this camera a 5 outta 5 as a great point and shoot camera. Plus you can get the other lense attachments from Canon if you want or the waterproof case.Customer Review: Great Camera

This is my second digital camera and probably my last. I had a Kodak Easy Share camera just to see if I would like a digital camera, I am a photographer and thought I would really miss having everything on film. With a new baby, I am constantly taking photos and the digital camera has saved me tons of money. Though I still shoot black and white on film, I have switched over to mostly digital. The Kodak was easier to download the photos to the desktop but the Canon is a much better camera. I takes great photos and the short video clip option is really nice to have. If you plan to take any videos you will definately need to get a larger card, the one included will only take about 15 seconds at the high resolution. I am very pleased with this camera. It is all you need unless you are planning on shooting poster size images. Beautiful quality images and quicker shutter speed than other digital cameras I've tried. Its a great buy. I highly recomend this camera.Customer Review: Just what I needed

After much research and testing, I decided upon the A70 because of the quality of the pictures and the look and feel of the camera. I upgraded the memory to 256MB and got the rechargeable batteries (a must) and also purchased a card reader. I took the camera on a trip to London and Paris and I got the most incredible photo's! I'm not at all a photographer but when I showed the pictures to family and friends they thought that some of them were postcards. One picture of Big Ben had activists and police at the top of the tower. By zooming in on the photo (taken at least .10 miles away and the tower is quite high), I can actually see them and read the signs they were holding in protest. Just amazing. I took over 175 pictures and never worried about running out of space.
The card reader works just like another drive on your PC and I easily drag and drop the pictures to my hard drive or to write onto a CD.
Best Christmas present I ever bought for myself!
Customer Review: What a great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is amazing. After using a sipix 2.1 and a very expensive Nikon 995 I'm glad to say this is probably the best camera you can get for the price. The picture quality is great. It is a very easy camera to use even if you've never used digital before. CompactFlash memory is great and cheap. I do wish they gave at least a 32 meg card though instead of the 16 meg card. The software included is easy to use and has a lot of cool features to add to your pictures. The ability to shoot short video is also great. Although you will probably need a bigger memory card if you plan on doing this. The LCD display is very clear and the red eye feature is very cool a lot of other digital cameras don't have. If you are looking for a great digital camera at a reasonable price go with this one. I looked into many other cameras before deciding on this one and can say this is probably the best thing you can get for just casual picture taking.Customer Review: I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!
