What a great camera...

( - 3/11/05)

I've taken just over 3,400 photographs with this camera since I bought it about 5-months ago. It was a replacement for my 4-megapixel Kodak DX4900 which was about 3-years old and showing its age. Compared to the Kodak, this camera is as different as night and day. It's fast, can take movies, and the battery last forever.

If I could change anything it would be...

I'm give it an info battery - you're never sure how much power is remaining. I purchased a few spare batteries so I'm never without power.

I also had to purchase a couple large Compact Flash cards. The original 32-mb card is simply too small for anything.

Other than these two items -- there is nothing better than this little Canon camera!
