I am very happy w the camera.
The use of AA batteries is a great feature: I have another camera that needs AA batteries(Uniformity), and, I don't need to travel w a recharger.
The camera works great.

January 2013 edits: for the last 2 years, I have had significant problems with the flash. It refuses to work, despite "forcing" it through settings. There are also times when the camera refuses to take a picture. The batteries are also dying within VERY soon after using them. When you're at an event and have only one camera and it refuses to work, the memories are lost forever. I have stopped using this camera due to its unreliability.

Dislikes - Mostly minor issues. A bit heavy. Requires 4 batteries - why it's heavy. AV door is placed under thumb so comes open in use. AV and memory doors are flimsy. Too easy to accidentally change modes taking in and out of camera bag. Cannot force flash on in AUTO mode - have to switch to Program, logical but annoying. No secondary display for mode, battery, picture count - have to open screen. Built in flash does not work well with lens accessories and there is no external flash synch. No remote.
Overall I'm very happy with it and recommend it if you are looking for this class of camera. The main reason I bought this particular model is the swivel screen and its ability to use accessories. If the swivel screen is not important to you - I find it essential and now hardly use the viewfinder - the Canon A700 might be a better choice - 6X zoom, larger screen and only 2 AA batteries.
I recommend you buy a 1G fast SD card (eg. Sandisk ultra II) - maybe larger if you plan to take much video. I bought a 512M card to start and found I filled it up too fast. The 16M card that comes with it is only good for demos or as an emergency spare.

Picture quality is top notch. I have no complaints about the quality of pictures since the new processor seems to have ample power to process the digital images quickly. VGA video mode on the camera is also fantastic. For the casual videographer, I found it really useful since I don't own a camcorder.
The only thing that I have concerns over is the construction. It's good but some parts of the case seem to shift a little when held. Being heavy handed I feel like I might be crushing some internal components but everything seems to be fine.
This is an excellent, affordable point and shoot digital camera. Great picture quality and features.







What it is not, is pocket-sized small. It is just a little bigger than the SX series. It does not have the super fine quality of a DSLR (sensors, lenses, etc.) that is needed in professional use.
I take hundreds of super fine quality shots on a single 1G SD card. After downloading them to my computer, the card can be errased and start over. This is the most fun, or serious, photography can be. NOTE: I paid $207 for my A620, which made it an extra special value.

This was my first digital camera; I am much happier with the A710 I have now.


cons: pictures go grainy with noise at high iso settings, lack of picture stabilizer.
great for beginners and those who want a great camera without paying the big bucks for the xlr cameras.






Pros:
Many modes, and easy to use (even program/aperture/shutter speed priority etc)
Excellent flash
Very quick/accurate focussing.
Most adjustments that a DSL have (e.g. focus method etc)
Adjustable rear screen (twist and turn) useful.
(Found that almost every aspect of the camera can be remotely controlled by the PC - not seen this in the spec, and not sure why this is - remote webcam?, but maybe someone can use it..)
Cons
It's big (treat it like a DSLR. If you want a shirt-pocket camera, this is not for you)
Plastic casing (but seems OK so far)
Flimsy covering for USB cable (not really a hassle, but could have been better thought out)
No sports mode and some curious 'colour modes' (if this camera is aimed at the more experienced photographer, most will modify photos on the PC?)
Takes 4 AA batteries (NiMH rechargable are better - last a very long time, but that means weight and size, plus another 4 to carry for spares)
In the end, excellent camera, quick to use. Just don't expect if to fit in your short pocket (unless you have a big shirt;-)
(Excellent delivery time from Amazon as usual)
