not bad

(Dawn - 1/1/07)

I bought this to replace my coolpix 7 megapixel that I dropped in the sand at the beach and it no longer works :(
I have the Canon A20 from years ago...so figured Canon does hold up, time for another!
Only thing I do not like is the delay when snapping more than one picture at a time.
I bought it because it's equipped to have a waterproof case so I can take it jet skiing with us! I'm having a little trouble locating this case.
Not a bad camera for the price...clear pictures for Real Estate and Family! I paid $189 on sale at Target!
My father in laws Kodak takes quicker pictures with no delay
but the screen on this Canon is bigger than his Kodak...
hope this helps!
