Needs more power

The camera doesn't get much from rechargeable batteries that way I think it should. This is the second Powershot camera that I've had with the same problem. I also think it should have 4 batteries instead of 2. My last camera had 4 and I could go on a weekend trip without changing them out.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Bright LCD
Cons: Short battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Quality Camera, but does not print date unless you set it to 1.3 or 2 MP, which is not good.
No Rechargeable batteries
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, excellent image quality
Cons: Missing features/settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, durable
Cons: Poor image quality, Poor Low-Light Performance, Heavy/Bulky, Short battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great features (manual control, etc.) at low cost but flash recharge is very slow and sensitive battery sensor, constantly telling me to charge batteries even with fresh Ni-Cads.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance, Short battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good quality camera

This is a very good camera for someone who is either a beginer or someone who is a little more seasoned with a camera. Worked very well for me at the drag races and the quality of the shot is very good. The video mode left a little to be desired as it can be a little blury and if you dont dial in on the object the video will be blury. But what the video mode lacks the quality of pictures makes up for it.
Very durable to as Ive accidently dropped it a few times and it holds up very nicely
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, easy to use
Cons: Missing features/settings, Poor Low-Light Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought this camera this morning and I am very pleased. It is the perfect size, and takes great pictures. I wansn't looking for all kiind of options; I just wanted a basic camera which is easy to use. I found it in this camera.
The only thing I didn't like was that it did not come with a carrying case.
Otherwise, I'm happy with my purchase:)
Pros: easy to use, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: no carrying case with camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

ALOT of battaries are needed!!!! There is NO internal memory, always a good thing to have incase your sd card gets full. The lcd screen went out because it was cold outside, and the only mode that you can use it on now is easy or to review you pics.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Difficult to use, Complicated controls/menu, Missing features/settings, Short battery life, Flimsy Construction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
