This camera is not a top tier unit for sure, but it is easy to operate, and takes good photos. For the price it is excellent.

This is a nice camera, the thing I like the most is that batteries last a long time. The camera is easy to use, fairly compact, and takes good pictures. For the money you can't go wrong.

Simple, does what it's supposed to do and the best part is that it used AA batteries. I don't even use the highest setting when I take pictures so 7.1 MP is more than enough for my use. For those who want to blow up to poster sizes, you should get an SLR, but for a normal everyday use camera this is the one to get. You could get more features for the price they are asking for but this one looks too cool.

Used it for 6 months. Sadly, it was destroyed in a helicopter crash. Before then, had enough time to realize that although it uses 34Mbit MJPEG compression, the amount of noise reduction and blurriness of the lens were unacceptable.
It couldn't equal the sharpness of the Sanyo HD1 even with software sharpening. The noise reduction eliminated what little detail remained. Certain levels of zoom got sharper images.
The worst problem was the lack of an ND filter. Without it, the sensor bloomed in any daylight conditions. The problem affected every object, not just the bright light sources. Images were like looking through dirty windows.
The recording time was 29min on an 8 gig card. Never used the special audio features like manual gain & audio-only recording.
For video control, the exposure lock didn't work. It only locked exposure after recording started. Focus lock worked, but was kicked out during zoom. There was no shutter speed or aperture control, only exposure lock. You couldn't force a faster shutter speed and wide aperture to capture sports at night. Forget about depth of field effects.
Auto focus was horrible. The Sanyo's funky 5 point auto focus did a better job. The Canon's single point auto focus always searched.
Redeeming factors: stabilization was the best of any camera.
The Canon used a full frame shutter, providing straight lines in low light. The Sanyo HD1 used a rolling shutter which caused wavy lines in low light.

I've used my TX-1 for over a year, and I still love it.
Pros: Great quality video, supports 2, 4, 8 and 16GB SDHC cards (so far)
Cons: need lots of batteries, camera functionality is just OK, 2GB file size limit (translates to recording time limit)
I use the camera primarily to video stuff for the kids (sporting events, performances, etc.). Thankfully, most recordings don't need to be more than 15 minutes at a time -- otherwise, the 2GB file size limit would hit and/or it'd run out of batteries.

The Canon Power Shot is a great light weight camera. Good value for the money and many features for the more than novice. It has many features but I like the point and shoot with a decent zoom lens. If I am doing serious photograhy, I use my Nikon but LD but the power shot is great to have in the car or jacket for that quick, unexpected photo. Great buy

It's not slim enough to fit in your back pocket, but it is extremely simple to use and runs on AA batteries. Good for traveling.

I bought this camera in June, 2007 for a month-long trip to South America. I had wanted a higher MP camera to possibly print some 11x14 and higher posters. In short, I'm thrilled with the purchase.
I was expecting this to just eat AA batteries like my old Canon A70. I had even packed a ton of batteries for my trip in anticipation of this. Instead, I was able to take 200-300 pictures on each set of batteries.
The 8MP was also plenty and the shots we made into posters turned out great.
Finally, the camera also takes great pictures in all modes. I especially feel like the night shots came out much better than my previous A70. The audio on movie mode was also much improved over older models. The ONLY slight con is that framing a shot with the viewfinder sometimes produces mixed results. I think the actual picture taken tends to be a little bigger than what you see in the viewfinder....for example if you frame a shot to avoid a tourist in the viewfinder, that person may still make an appearance in your photo. In these situations, I just used the LCD screen which seemed to be a more faithful representation of the photo to be taken.

This is my first digital camera, and I am just learning how to use it. The controls are logical and not too tiny. It hooked up beautifully to my imac Leopard 10 so I didn't need to use the Canon software. Because of the Amazon reviews, I have not purchased a camera case yet; I want one with a neck strap.

It is a good camera for the price, cannot expect the best but it certainly does the job, it is compact, handy, lighter than my other cameras, good for quick pictures, not meant for high-quality photography

After shopping around several stores and online, I bought the A630 with high hopes. This camera did not disappoint! I love the huge LCD screen that can be folded over to protect and refolded to address the picture to help produce and center a family photo or self portrait. There are several lighting options that you can use that definitely help in tricky situations. I took this camera to a Cincinnati Reds game and was impressed at the quality photos I was able to retrieve. I sat midway up in the stands and was able to capture some excellent batting pics of Griffey Jr. However, when the zoom is in full effect the camera must be held completely still in order to get clear photos. After some trial and error I was able to come back with some great pics! This camera gives very sharp, colorful pics almost everytime. It took some time to get used to the focus, which is made by holding the shutter button halfway down before taking the pic. I also used the video function at a recent party and was suprised to find that the audio came out better than expected. The video is a little grainy, but I bought it for the pictures, not the video. Although bigger than your normal point and shoot cameras, it is still an excellent buy for the quality photos that you will get in return. And at 8 megapixels I will not need to upgrade for quite some time.

I bought this camera for a weekend trip to NYC. It was just what I wanted. The photos are ridiculously crisp. I'm a casual photo taker and have had no problems. I hope to learn the fun tricks with this one. No complaints. I have yet to change the batteries and have used it every day for almost a month.
I purchased an additional 2gig SD card for the camera and it has plenty of room for my day-t-day activities. Overall, this camera is a 5 of 5. [I browsed the comments on the additional one and two-year warranty and decided against it, make sure you read the reviews on that warranty before buying it.]
********************************
Update (years later): My camera started acting up the day after the main warranty expired. There was something wrong with the flash not working - if you had it set to be on the photo wouldn't take at all. After browsing message boards I found that many people with this model had the same problem and smacking it against something hard right near the battery compartment made it fix itself until you turn it off. Their warranties didn't cover the problem, though. BOO! HISS!

Its a good camera for the money, however I find that I receive better quality pitcures from my older model Canon Powershot A80 and the ease of use and speed is not quite as good either.

I may be too lenient with my rating because I bought my first digital camera early on in digital photography so I know how bad things can be. My Nikon Coolpix 900 does nothing well but who knew back then? I finally replaced it with this Canon A540 and am I impressed! For less than a quarter of the Nikon's cost I now have a terrific little camera that out-performs it in every way.
"Auto" mode works spectacularly well and may I suggest the "Scenes" mode with the Indoor setting (flash "off") to get nice indoor shots without using the potentially annoying strobe. Experiment in your environment to see if it will work, I use it all the time.
I've now had it a few weeks and still can't find the bad bits. Ok, if I could I would add a Preview button like Panasonic has. There, I found something I'd change if I could but there are easy work-arounds for this weakness.
Anyway, the point is that I have saved enough with this purchase (and have a terrific camera for snaps) that I can indulge in something a little more elaborate for other types of shooting. I'm thinking that one of those "superzooms" look like fun. The Canon S3 IS has to go to the top of the list after the good experience I've had with the A540.
Get a Canon A540; you won't break the bank and will get good family and vacation pix, etc., in the bargain.
Update; I recently ordered and received the Canon pouch/case for this camera and it may be an essential accessory. It has a little compartment for spare SD card or batteries. It has a belt loop so you can wear it "hands free." I took this combination camping at Pismo Beach last week and it was a convenience I know I won't be able to live without. Bike riding on the beach, hiking in the dunes, whatever you can think of, the camera is out of the way yet always ready. Think about ordering together to get the most out of the free shipping offer.

The Canon 590 takes fantastic photos! I've had trouble in the past with shaky pictures from other digital cameras. But with the built-in image stabilizer, they are clear and beautiful, even up close! I've gotten some great shots. I can even take close up photos of books to show on computer monitor and the text is clear and readable. Love the movie mode, too. I like the ease of point and shoot, but if you want to change manual settings are available too.

I bought this camera four months ago as an entry into learning photography. I wanted the versatility of a DSLR without the cost, but the ease of use you get with a compact. I wasn't disappointed; with its Program and Manual settings I quickly stopped using Auto and began to experiment. Its vari-angle screen means that photos at awkward angles can be taken, and people don't register the camera in the same way so more natural photos cn be achieved.
The quality is very good, and I've no complaints about the range of sizes or modes. My only problems have been that it sometimes struggles to autofocus, the zoom is a bit jumpy, and the size of any video files is huge - over a MB per second.
Despite this, its flexibility and range of options make it perfect for those without the budget for an SLR or the Canon G9 but want to take control of their photographs.

Just got this camera and it's terrific. It's easy to use, the screen is a decent size, the image stabilization is great, and most of all, the picture quality is very good! I wanted to buy a more expensive Canon model but just didn't have the extra money, but I'm very satisfied with this one.

Got the TX-1 last week through Amazon.com and was able to figure out how to use it quickly. It works exactly as advertised and is not nearly as hard to handle as the CNET review indicates.
I found reviews here very helpful and bought a Kingston 8-gig high capacity memory card which worked flawlessly with no formatting and an extra Lenmark battery (much cheaper than the Canon battery) as well as a Pelican 1010 case (very cheap, very solid).
It will take me a while to get used to all the options; but, so far, I've covered a wedding and got good stills and videos without more than a rudimentary idea of what this thing can do. Hard to believe you get 7.1 megapixel stills and near-HD video for this price. Sony and Panasonic aren't in the neighborhood yet as far as I can tell.
The included software works very well; but I've only used it in a limited way so far.
You really must get a second battery to make it portable, unless you purchase the adapter. The charger that comes with it requires you to remove the battery and charge it (1.5 houres).
Again, the key is that it is small enough (slightly bigger than a standard deck of cards) and versatile enough (good stills and good video) so that I will actually take it with me and use it. That was the problem with my last camera and the old VHS camcorder, just too big to use consistently.

Have had this camera since last summer and have found it to be reliable, relatively simple to use, easy to download from and get good picture quality. It's a bit big for my taste (wide at the battery end) but since the tiny cameras mostly take a non standard battery that takes up to 90 minutes to charge I'll live with that "flaw". The batteries that came with it died fairly quickly but I'm still on the first set of the AA'a made for digital use - and I've taken well over 500 photos. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice, solid point & shoot (still sometimes prefer my 35mm) at a good price. The only drawback I have found is lag time between photos and also the time between when you click the button and the time the shutter actually goes off. I've missed some action/kid shots due to it (hence the 4 not 5 stars) but for stills of landscape/scenery it's great.

I ended up buying this for myself for Christmas and am very happy with it. I wanted something with a good optical zoom. I hated how most cameras couldn't get a close up. This camera, first of all looks good, but second of all works well. The reaction time is quick from when you press the button and when it actually takes the picture. The batteries last pretty long too. The last camera I had the batteries were dead after 5 minutes. The batteries that came with the camera lasted through the Christmas time, with everyone playing with it. Matter of fact, the camera is so good, my sister and her husband are going to go buy one too!
