This Canon A470 was purchased for a friend who wanted an easy to operate and inexpensive digital camera. This one fit the bill perfectly. They are very happy with it and use it a lot.
Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS Camera - Black (14.7MP, 3.7x Optical Zoom) 2.5" PureColor LCD II Viewfinder
This camera fulfils all our expectations - its size fits into pockets, bags or any small space easily. Also it fits comfortably into your hand, though it is necessary to use the wrist strap as it is very smooth.
The photo quality is excellent, professional in fact even for an amateur photographer. The price you pay for this is a photo that is a bit heavy on MB. The zoom is easy to use and close at hand.
The peep sight is somewhat small but you get used to it.
Altogether I could really recommend this gem for fast picture taking and for your more serious shots as well.

Have not had this camera very long put I am very pleased with it so far. The zoom is great and pictures are good. A little heavier that I am use too but not a problem. I had a Sony cyber shot before and have always had a Sony camera but decided to try a Canon and I like this Canon better. I am not a photo expert so for my needs this camera is good.
Great camera. I have been very pleased with it. A friend dropped it while we were on a cruise and we were able to order the part to fix it. But before then the camera continued to take great pictures even after the damage. Awesome!
I owned two other Canon Power Shot cameras: the original A30 (3 MP), and the 530(5MP). I was most satisfied with both. I bought the 590IS for its image stabilization feature and the fact that it was 8 MP. I am disappointed. I have had more blurred pictures with this camera in three weeks than I had in the entire period of my ownership of the other two cameras. The viewfinder, a good feature not available in many new point-and-shoot cameras, is unreliable in terms of coverage; I never had this issue in either of the earlier Canon iterations. The color is spotty. The battery life is terrible. The motion pictures, at higher resolutions, are only 20 fps, rather than 30 in the older camras. This camera has all the bells and whistles, and appears to be a wonderful value for the money, but performance has been a disappointment. I prefer my three year old A 530 Power Shot.
Solid value for the money, with good-quality zoom and a big range of resolutions available. The controls are reasonably intuitive to use. The camera has some nice functions (e.g. timer), but is missing others (e.g. panoramic shot, as far as we could tell).
My son bought this camera for me this Christmas and I'm still learning how to use it, but I'll do some pros and cons here:
Pros: View finder, large LCD screen, great macro setting, nice size with hand grip.
Cons: Long delays between shots, grainy at long range, flash too bright, no neck strap.
I really like the feel of this camera, and I love the view finder, but overall it's a step down from my present camera. I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z20, 5 megapixels and 8X optical. I love that camera but it's too bulky to take everywhere. It doesn't have the image stabilizer but it seems to take clearer pictures than the Canon does. However, the macro on the Canon is much better than the KM, and that's important to me.
I'm really concerned with the long delay between shots, and if anyone can tell me how to fix this, I would appreciate it. I'm not especially techno-savvy and that thick manual is pretty intimidating! (But at least it comes with a manual.)

This is a wonderful camera, but it was delivered broken. It would not receive the memory card, so we had to return it.
This is a great product for those interested in learning how to take good quality digital pictures. It is easy to learn and easy to use, and I was very satisfied with my first photos. It was used in a student camp situation and the kids did unbelievable nature photos.
This camera is very poorly made, battery compartment is awkward to open and hard to keep shut. Camera is diffiult to turn on with the recessed power button. Suck batteries dry overnight if you leave them in the camera - even if camera is turned off. Love the other canon elph i had - but this one is going in the trash and I am getting one of the others instead. Don't recommend at all.
I will make this simple and quick.
I love this camera for its photographic qualities, great videos with the extra memory,etc.
But take this thing out in the rain and take photos, and it will be ruined! It was not raining heavy, but condensation became apparent inside of the LCD screen, thusly no more working camera became a fact in my case.
I have just ordered the Canon Power Shot D10 Waterproof camera.

I was in the market for a new camera and had always owned Pentax or Kodak. As i researched I noticed Canon's get great ratings so I considered a few Canon's in my quest for a new digital camera. I also checked out the Panasonic Lumix TZ5, very nice, however I liked the options and features on the Canon SX110 better. One really neat feature it has that I did not see on any of the cameras I looked at was the playback button. You can view the pictures you have taken without powering on the camera, WOW! Besides the awesome pictures this camera takes and how easy it is to use, you can also use the zoom feature while in video mode (most digicams do not do that). Great camera overall, however the only 2 faults I have found is the date can only be imprinted on the picture in postcard mode (think this is 2mp). This is alright for me b/c I use low res for mostly emails and 4x6 prints, however may not be good for people who like to take pics in higher resolutions. The other flaw is the SLOW flash recycle, you could miss out on some good pics bc of this. I also want to praise amazon.com for the great price which was $55 cheaper than the local retail stores in my area and I received my camera the day after I ordered it! Now that's super fast service!!
I am not professional photographer, but I always like simple functionality for great output. This camera has suited in every aspect to my expectation. I got this camera from Target about 5 months ago, and now I just cannot live without it.
I just got this camera today and imediatelly love how small it is and how easy it was to operate. I was able to do basic things without reading the manual and then read it just for fun and discovered it could do a lot more than I expected. This is a great point and shoot camera. if you are looking for a basic point and shoot this is a good one!
I had a Canon A250 and I was very satisfied with the photos, then it was broken accidentaly by a friend. So l decided that my new camera had to be a Canon again because l couldnt bare the thought of not having such a good camera!!! The pics are excellent and everybody that shares the pics with me, tells me so. I am a totally happy customer,,,,enjoy,,,!!!
I'm not good at taking pictures. I'd like to say I am ... but I've known for years that it's just not true.
That is ... until I bought this camera. I've gleaned more "good" pictures from what I've snapped in the brief time I've owned this marvel - than I've taken in my entire life!! (and I'm STILL learning the camera!!)
I carry it with me everywhere ... *EVERYWHERE* I get so many compliments on the photos I've taken!!
Now, I don't have any great aspirations of being any sort of photographer -- I bought the camera to take pictures of my work to share for progress photos on a project -- still, I find myself taking photos of other things as well. Before, taking a photo was amongst the list of last things I would do!
All I can say is BRAVO!! great price - great product - worth MORE than what you pay!!!

I'm really glad I chose this camera, I'm no expert...so this camera is very user friendly, and ends up taking some pretty good pictures for me, especially outdoors.
I wanted a small camera that took decent photos in available light and had high ISO sensitivity. Image stabilization and a wide range of manual setting were also high on my list. This camera delivers all of that. I was pleased with the quality of the shots even up to ISO 800. ISO 1600 was roughly equivalent to what ISO 400 was on my previous small Canon camera so the A590 IS can cover a lot of range in lighting situations. What caught me almost totally by surprise was the extremely poor battery life. Even without using the flash it seems abysmal. I have taken approximately 60-70 test shots and gone through 2 sets of alkaline and one charge from a pair of NiMH rechargeables. Admittedly this was using the flash about 30% of the time but that's still totally unacceptable. I realize that AA batteries don't have the life of a proprietary lithium ion, but this camera's battery life is so bad it makes it almost unusable to me. Seemed like whenever I turned around it was telling me that the batteries were low and needed replacement. I used a battery tester to check them and found that they still registered pretty good so I'm wondering if the camera's battery level sensitivity is just wrong. Either that or this thing sucks power worse than any camera I have ever owned. Whatever the case, I am truly sorry I purchased this otherwise fine camera. I would much rather have decent battery life than the dubious "convenience" of replacing AA cells all the time.
Update: With freshly charged 2500 mAh Ni-MH cells I am seeing an improvement in battery life, at least initially. So far I've taken 36 pictures and no low battery message yet. My previous usage was more intermittent so we'll see if these higher capacity rechargeable bring the camera up to what I consider reasonable battery life. My experience with alkalines is still totally unacceptable in my opinion.

I bought this camera for my husband to replace his sony 5mp 4 year old camera. He needed a new camera to take on a trip to Korea and other parts of asia.
It takes great pictures and video
The menue is user friendly
BUT...........................................
The camera worked fine for the 3 weeks he was abroad. he took some great pictures. After he was home for 1.5 weeks the censor stopped working, just 2 days past Amazons return policy aloud for returns. Now I have to deal with Canons repair center which is a huge hastle. I feel like if the product was only used for 3 weeks that we should get a new camera as a replacement not a repaired defective camera. Make sure you use the heck out of your camera the first few weeks to be sure if something goes wrong you can return it to Amazon and not have to go to Canon.

I received this camera on Thursday and three days later I have already lost the lens cap, which had no tether. I ordered a compatible 52mm cap with tether [...]. Other than that it takes awesome photos! I was concerned about the weight, but that is not a problem and I feel my shots are more stable due to the weight. Lots of nice features at a great price.
This camera has taken amazingly beautiful pictures. There are many options I have not used yet - wish there was a book to buy on these features but nonetheless you place it on auto and the photos are wonderful.
As above, this is my first ever Canon and I am stunned by this little gem. Its compact, the picture quality is a-mazing and i am particuarly enjoying the darker skin setting! A lot of the reviews on Amazon come from avid, experienced Canon users, however if you are a newbie to the Canon range then you will be exceptionally impressed like i am.
Its a very sexy little camera and feels great to hold in your hand. The response time is super quick and for some reason everyone looks amazing in every photo? At last a camera that kinda helps girls feel better about themselves! Enjoy....

Excellent deal regardless of the cost. Quality photos match that of any camera. Video is very exceptional.
I had an opportunity to use the camera for the first time on a visit to the Pima Air Museum in Tuson, AZ and found the quality of the pictures to rival that of my Canon Rebel XSi. I will probably begin to use this camera more than my SLR since it is so much easier to carry. My only complaint is that it uses the 4-AA bateries insted of the more advanced Li-ion batteries.
I really love this camera, i've had it for awhile now, 8 months. First my negatives are that the Flash is super slow, and trying to take sport shots is horrible. That might be user error though. I was scared to get a camera that uses double AA, but I got energizer batteries and i take millions of pictures and my camera never dies. On a recent week long trip to cali i took atleast 200 pics and never had to charge my batteries. The pictures are crisp, and look good blown up. The camera is a little bulky, compared to the point and shoot cameras they are making now, but all in all i love it and would buy it again. I also like the option that it is only 200. (best buy will price match from amazon) and it has the option of being advanced if i decide i want to get creative. I would recommend this for somone else.
Enjoying the camera, two things we feel would greatly enhance this wonderful camera. 1 More extensive direction of operation. A view finder to accomodate bright light or dark picture taking. Such as with a flashEtc.
Canon PowerShot A470 Digital Camera - Grey (7.1MP, 3.4xOptical Zoom) 2.5" LCD
Bought for my wife (who technically is barely of the starting line!). An excellent choice, simple to use with excellent picture quality. Price couldn't have been better - Morrisons are selling the same product at £97!
First rate service.

Good price and very fast delivery! Camera does all I expected and more....make sure you take the time to read the manual. Wish Canon made an affordible underwater housing.
I have had this camera for over a year now. The output quality is excellent and it's easy to use, battery lasts a long time (I actually filmed a wedding ceremony with no problems) - but I have three small complaints:
1) No fill-flash option
2) No multi-shot capability on the timer function
3) Videos other than in daylight tend to be dark and grainy
Thank God it doesn't record in Quicktime!
It's expensive, but well worth it.

I have been a fan of Canon cameras for nearly 10 years and have purchased 4 of them over time. They have all performed well. Everything is easy to use, it has a good feel in the hand. If there is any negative on this camera, it is the time it takes to write the picture to the SD card. It seems to take too long in this function. Also, have been having a difficulty getting it to focus in low light conditions. But if I switch to movie mode, then it has no problems capturing what I am trying to get.
I decided to try the Lenmar replacement battery for the Canon NB-2L based on the "positive" feedback (note: there is a lot of negative) that it received and the appealing price. I was going on vacation and my current batteries were getting old and didn't hold a charge for very long anymore. So, I purchased a genuine Canon Battery, and the lower priced Lenmar battery. While the Lenmar gave satisfactory performance, based on the fact that it costed less than 1/3 the cost of the Canon. Life was definitely shorter, but again proved acceptable. It allowed me to use my Canon battery, and if it ran down on me, I could use the Lenmar to finish out my day until I could recharge. It didn't let me down. Overall life was definitely less as previously stated, but again, it was far less expensive. Actually, I could have bought (3) Lenmar batteries for (1) Canon, so....you get what you pay for.
Overall, it met my expectations, and probably then some. Not good enough for 5 stars, but definitely worthy of 4.
Note: This was used with an older Canon S30 Camera, and not a new DSLR, which might yeild different results.

the aperture can be open up to 2.8!
the large aperture provides clear foreground and blurred background which distinguishes the shot subject from surroundings.
it performs well when picturing a portrait or detailed feature.
this might be the greatest advantage of sx110 over other 10x compact digital cameras whose aperture almost start from 4.x(smaller aperture).
it is however a little bit heavy and big sized. I still like it.

I am a complete novice photographer looking for a snap shooter that would help me take better photos. I have no idea how or why I would want to set an F stop (to give you a better idea of my skill level).
After reading through the manual and using some of the different predefined settings, I was able to snap some pretty acceptable photos. I really like the face identification feature. It helps.
You do need to be judicious with the digital zoom. A little too much and, well, grainy would be the best description of the outcome.
All in all, the camera is easy to use and does a pretty good job

This little camera is great. Good size, easy to hold and use but small enough to carry easily. I set this camera up without reading the manual, it is that easy! Takes very good pictures and videos. No camera shake in the video and I was just holding the camera. I am very impressed!
I bought this camera for my wife to use with our newborn baby. My camera is a Canon DSLR (XSI) so I'm very spoiled but when I look at some of the pictures this camera takes, I'm blown away at the awesome picture quality, color rendition, sharpness & detail. 4x Zoom versus the standard 3x is also a good thing. For the price and considering the type of camera I'm reviewing I must give it 5 stars. Sure it could be better but not a that price and not with a point & shoot.
I was so disappointed with this camera, I don't know how Canon could release it with such flaws. I am a Canon user since 1975 and currently use a DSLR of theirs. I wanted good quality HD movies mainly in this camera, but I also wanted something that I could use if I wanted to travel lightly. Unless you have blazing daylight, the noise in this camera is worse than any I have seen in a camera in this category. My Powershot A720 IS which I got last year is way better. shame on Canon for not doing a better job - they can! Sent it back.
I consider myself a little bit of a photography buff, though I prefer my 35mm Pentax to anything digital. So with this Canon I was pleasantly surprised at all of the features. It ranges from a simple, user-friendly choice with automatic settings and multiple atmosphere settings, to a more complex, manual camera with a whole depth of features that make it fun to capture exactly what you want. Since I enjoy the manual aspect of 35mm, I really love the fact that I can change ISO, shutter speed, F stop, focus and everything else to really achieve the results I'm looking for. Its the first digital camera I've owned that actually operates like a camera and not a computer. Nice big screen, sturdy body, easy operating buttons & functions. I love it.
The ONLY thing I don't like about it is how fast it goes through batteries. You should really get some rechargeable ones to go with this because I can go through 2AAs in one day easily with this thing.

I just purchased the Canon PowerShot A590IS for an upcoming European vacation. I wanted a camera that was priced to fit my budget and wasn't very complicated to operate as I don't have time to read about all the bells and whistles although this camera does have a lot of them! I opened the box, read the first few pages of directions, put in the batteries and memory card and I was good to go. I clicked away for a few minutes and so far I'm very happy with the results. The camera comes with cables for a printer and computer as well as software. I would suggest purchasing a case if you don't have one. The one feature I like is that I can get a good grip on it and it's not super slim that I would drop it. I'm good to go on my vacation and I'm sure I'll have great photos when I return!
Great camera for first-time user of digital cameras. Easy to use. Clear photos. Wonderful service.
The camera is awesome! The flexibility to allow for a wide range of 'modes' is exceptional and not found on most point and shoot cameras. There is a learning curve for those of us who have not had a Cannon digital but given time I have managed to become capable of using quite a few different modes.
Patience is the key to becoming proficient and productive with this very powerful camera. Cannot be beat in its price range!!!!!!

I purchased this camera for my huband who wanted a "pocket" camera. We have a Canon Digital Rebel XT for general photos but it does not have video capabilities and is not pocket friendly. He found the Canon Powershot to be just what he was looking for and because we have a small Camnon photo printer, we can hook it right up without a problem.
He/we are still playing with it , but all in all it was a great camera for the money.

First of all I want to say that the product is very good. Until now I couldn't take good photos with the manuel option but night shots or macro shots are very good. I bought the camera for its 10X zooming, and I am pleased with it. I think this camera is a step to DSLR cameras. There was a cashback promotion from Canon so I got 30 pounds back, I advise new buyers to search for such oppotunities, but that promotion was in may.
The A590IS is probably the best camera bargain out there now. It's amazing how much camera you can get for the money nowadays, compared to just a few years ago. The A590IS is a decent performer. It's performs much better in good lighting conditions, than low light. Pictures are quite noisy, but usable at ISO higher than 200. The flash is weak, but OK for most situations. Recycle time is also slow. The camera has a view finder, but it's pretty much useless since it's tiny and very inaccurate. The 2.5" 115k low resolution LCD screen is where you can tell this is a budget camera. It does its job, but is fair at best. The video mode is limited. You can't zoom during recording, and fps has been limited to 20fps. On the positive side, battery life seems improved over previous "A" models. There are some manual modes. This is very uncommon on inexpensive cameras. The camera is fairly small, stylish, and generally takes very good pictures. All in all, it would be tough to find a better camera in this price range. The Panasonic Lumix LZ8 is probably its closest competition.
I like this camera. It was important that it have a view finder in addition to the "screen". I shoot a lot of dance performances as well as full moon at the beach, flowers, butterflies, birds and scenes with light and dark contrast. Can't wait to take it on my next trip. I also like that it uses AA batteries vs. the more expensive types. I'm happy.
I took this camera on my recent trip to Disneyland, and it did a great job. The price is fair, and battery life is terrific. I used monster cable rech batts, and never needed to charge them in 5 days of modest use. My 8 gig card will hold nearly 4000 shots at max quality, and we took over 400. Image stabilizer worked well however, very fast motion will still blur. Rarely the focus seems to be unable to locate anything to lock on, and results in a out of focus shot. This was annoying, but didn't happen often. I can see where the zoom lens could get jammed if the camera was turned on in it's case, but I always put it in review mode so I am not concerned with the jamming I have heard complaints about.
I bought this camera because of "Canon" brand which besides 9 MPix had very good zoom (10 Optical).This is my first Canon, I have used Kodak Digital Camera in the past. But I would say I am not satisfied with the results I got from Canon.
Barring battery life (better use rechargable batteries than the alkaline), the biggest drawback which turned me off is the flash (its pop up flash which I thought may be better than inbuilt imbedded ones) which makes indoor/night images yellowish in color.Maybe that's why it is priced at lower side. I am not a professional or expert but I would definitely disagree with those who are giving this camera 5 stars.
I would say that video quality was satisfactory. The day light images were satisfactory and I used to get quite nice images with my old Kodak Camera (4 MPix) too.
My old Kodak camera with inside flash gave better indoor/night pictures, with no yellowness to the images what so ever.

When I was looking at which camera to buy I found an extreme shortage of reviews on the Canon Powershot S80. So I hope that my addition to the growing number of reviews helps.
The following format for my review will start with the Pros, then the Cons, and finally a small summary blurb about the camera...
PROS:
-Appearance
~The Powershot S80 is surprisingly small for the power it packs, which helps make it a suitable pick for anyone who travels.
~Style... I wouldn't be surprised if famous personalities started wearing this camera on their neck chains as "Bling". It is very sharp looking, though one can determine what they think of it by looking at pictures I suppose.
-Operation
~You can find out most of the information regarding this camera's operation and statistics on various websites, but I have a few things to mention that I was not able to find online, or didn't think of looking for.
~After using this camera it is easy to see that a significant amount of effort went into gearing it for point and shoot photographers. Have no fear though, it does offer advanced settings that I have not actually been able to play with yet on my S80.
~8.0 effective mega pixels (8,000,000 pixels) worth of resolution means for example, if you turn on the Macro setting (at least 4 CM or 1.6 inches from the subject) and take a picture of your index finger, then, upload it to your computer and zoom in on your fingerprint you will actually be able to see the tiny particles or dirt stuck between the many crevices that make up your fingerprint. It is really amazing. The resolution has been incredible for every photograph and video that I have taken thus far.
~The video recording capability of the S80 is unmatched for any other camera in its size or price range for that matter. One of the important factors that I was looking for when shopping for my camera was that the video format was basically anything but ".mov". The S80 uses .avi which means that you can use windows media player to watch the video that you record and more video editing tools to manipulate footage that you record. The video resolution of the S80 goes up to 1024 x 768 at 15 until you consume up to 1 Gigabyte of memory. I recorded a video last night and watched it (with the cables provided in the box) on my 32'' television. I am still amazed at how clear the image was. I will even go so far as to say that this camera will second as a camcorder for certain purposes, which would then imply that I think that it is a good 2 for 1 buy. Which it is ;-). You can also record in lower video resolution up to 1 Gigabyte too. If you are planning on using the highest quality picture and video settings, buy a SD memory card with lots of memory, I bought a 2 Gigabyte card myself. Ah, and I took a 48 second video on the highest resolution and the file was 87.8 Megabytes, which will give you some rough idea of how much footage you will be able to shoot on the memory card of your choosing.
~The battery and charger that come with the camera are great, the prongs on the charger can fold inwards when it's not plugged in (obviously). Which is good for travel. I have had my camera for 2 days now and I have not needed to recharge the battery yet, which is nice that I have been using it constantly to play with the settings and have taken almost 100 pictures or videos. Another reason that you might want a camera like the S80 is that it does not use AA batteries, or any disposable batteries for that matter. My old camera was A Kodak Easyshare 3.1 Mega pixel camera. I got about 8,000 pictures out of it before it died in a very irritating manner. It gradually got less and less use time out of new batteries until it would literally take 2 pictures and then turn itself off. Now it totally refuses to function. Also, my friend had his camera die due to a simple mistake in battery purchase, he put Lithium AA batteries in his camera (I forget the make and model, it was a 3.2 MP though) instead of the Alkaline batteries he was supposed to be using and it totally broke. I was amazed that such a simple mix up could kill a 200$ purchase. When I helped him bury his camera (in the trash) I swore to myself that I would only go with rechargeable in the future.
~For its size the S80 offers just a little more than the norm with a 3.6x optical zoom. Which is really cool. Don't even turn on the digital zoom. It's worthless and probably one of the worst ideas ever conceived. You might as well take a magnifying glass and hold it up to the picture, the quality suffers when you zoom in with the digital.
~The LCD screen is massive (2.5 inches) which is good for video playback and reviewing your photos before downloading them to your computer. It also appears to be very strong, which is a definite plus.

The following format for my review will start with the Pros, then the Cons, and finally a small summary blurb about the camera...
PROS:
-Appearance
~The Powershot S80 is surprisingly small for the power it packs, which helps make it a suitable pick for anyone who travels.
~Style... I wouldn't be surprised if famous personalities started wearing this camera on their neck chains as "Bling". It is very sharp looking, though one can determine what they think of it by looking at pictures I suppose.
-Operation
~You can find out most of the information regarding this camera's operation and statistics on various websites, but I have a few things to mention that I was not able to find online, or didn't think of looking for.
~After using this camera it is easy to see that a significant amount of effort went into gearing it for point and shoot photographers. Have no fear though, it does offer advanced settings that I have not actually been able to play with yet on my S80.
~8.0 effective mega pixels (8,000,000 pixels) worth of resolution means for example, if you turn on the Macro setting (at least 4 CM or 1.6 inches from the subject) and take a picture of your index finger, then, upload it to your computer and zoom in on your fingerprint you will actually be able to see the tiny particles or dirt stuck between the many crevices that make up your fingerprint. It is really amazing. The resolution has been incredible for every photograph and video that I have taken thus far.
~The video recording capability of the S80 is unmatched for any other camera in its size or price range for that matter. One of the important factors that I was looking for when shopping for my camera was that the video format was basically anything but ".mov". The S80 uses .avi which means that you can use windows media player to watch the video that you record and more video editing tools to manipulate footage that you record. The video resolution of the S80 goes up to 1024 x 768 at 15 until you consume up to 1 Gigabyte of memory. I recorded a video last night and watched it (with the cables provided in the box) on my 32'' television. I am still amazed at how clear the image was. I will even go so far as to say that this camera will second as a camcorder for certain purposes, which would then imply that I think that it is a good 2 for 1 buy. Which it is ;-). You can also record in lower video resolution up to 1 Gigabyte too. If you are planning on using the highest quality picture and video settings, buy a SD memory card with lots of memory, I bought a 2 Gigabyte card myself. Ah, and I took a 48 second video on the highest resolution and the file was 87.8 Megabytes, which will give you some rough idea of how much footage you will be able to shoot on the memory card of your choosing.

The camera takes decent shots, but what annoys me is the constant low-battery life icon that would keep popping up after about 30 shots. I used the batteries that came with the camera, and I used many different brand new batteries too. I thought that I got a defective product, so I sent it back and had it exchanged, but it gave me the same problem again. So I thought that I would just ignore the icon and still take shots, well then it wouldn't allow you to take anymore and ask you to replace the batteries. I sent this crappy camera back to Amazon and got a full refund. I am still trying to find a camera, I might get the Panasonic lumix this time, but I'll wait until Amazon gets more of those since I don't want to pay for shipping.
