Awesome Camera
This is a terrific first user camera. Now i know when you first look at the camera and the settings on the top you might feel a bit overwhelmed, however just look over the users guide which is very easy to read and you'll find what your looking for. If you have a specific topic you want identified then it is easy to look up in the glossary. The camera is very easy to use and once you figure everything out then it's all good. I'll list some pros and cons that i've found so far

Not too shabby
I think this camera takes great, clear pictures, and its really easy to download them on to your computer. It is pretty easy to use, although all of the different settings can be kind of confusing, even after reading the manual a few times. My critiques of this camera are:1. It eats through AA batteries really fast. Would be a good idea to use rechargeables and always have fresh batteries on hand.2. The memory card it comes with does not hold many pictures...

Disappointed
Loved my Canon Powershot A10 -- an oldie but goodie. Still takes absolutely great photos even tho the hinge on the battery compartment is broken, and I'm using tape to hold it shut.Bought the 520 with high expectations. What I got was disappointment. 1- I have thrown out many photos. Many blurry, even with flash, even with subjects sitting still.2- Noisy chime when you turn on the power -- very disconcerting when in a quiet setting.3- Long dela...

Excellent and affordable little camera
Well, compared to other cameras in the market, it is actually not so little, but is still an excellent buy. The actual trend is very much directed to make digital cameras smaller every time, but nonetheless this one has a good size. It is not one of the tiny little narrow ones, but it is not bulky either. It is narrower than it's older brothers on the "A" series from Canon, because it uses two AA batteries instead of four. It will still fit in your jacket pocket.Some people call this...

Not At all Satisfied with Canon's Quality Assurance Process
I bought this camera over four months back. Here are the pros It takes good pictures when the ambient lighting is goodHere are the consIt does not take any good pics when the ambient lighting is bad and hence you get grainy images. I have used a Olympus e volt SLR and seen the kind of images you can get. I guess asking the same of this is asking too much from a point and shootAfter some time the zoom started to jam up. Now a days someti...

Good Value for price
Canon is probably the best buy when it comes to digital cameras. I have several and bought this one as a gift for my sister in law.She love sthis camera. Compact, easy to use (a trained chimp can use this camera!!!) Nice basic features. If you lose it you wont feel like you lost an arm and a leg.However, you get what you pay for. SHutter speed is not comparable to Cannon's high end cameras (S or SD series) but comes with the package.

LOVE THIS CAMERA!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I tell ya, every time I use this camera I am happy I bought it. I have yet to learn more about it, so in a nutshell a new-comer to the digital camera world can operate this immediately. It has become my new toy. Downloading the pictures on the computer is a snap and they are terrific. The down side...well, I'm here because I'm looking for a new memory card. The card that comes with it...

Great camera. Great price.
This Canon is easy to use. Just point and shoot. The photos are crisp and clear. They can later be cropped by using the excellent software included. You can zoom in real close, chop off what you don't want, all without creating distortion.
I don't care much for the pause in the clicker (the button you push to take the photo). I've missed many good shots because of it. To take a picture, you push the clicker halfway, wait for the light to flash, and then push it down the rest of the...

The Best Digital Camera in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received this camera as a gift for Christmas. If I must say so myself this is the best camera ever. I am new at digital photography, but I am really glad that I was able to get this one. It has built my trust in digital photography and Canon this is why:
PROS
1. The dial function is so easy to use. To achieve the best quality photos from different situations such as portrait, landscape, auto and fast moving objects (just to name a few).
2. The quality in the...
