Get the Rebel XTi (from a 30D owner)
All the reviews praising this as the best Canon DSLR for the cost were posted before the Canon Rebel XTi was introduced.I own the 30D and I am very pleased with it, however I also bought it a few weeks before the Rebel XTi was fully announced.The Rebel XTi has more megapixels than the 30D (10 vs 8) and the XTi has a self dust cleaning system which the 30D does not have.The only true reason to choose the 30D over the XTi is if you are a serious sports photographer and need 5 frames per second (30D) instead of 3 fps (XTi).Another major distinction between the two bodies is the size.The XTi is much smaller than the 30D.Some love this, while others with large hands prefer the larger size of the 30D.Since the XTi is about $[...] less than the 30D I would have to advise you to get the XTi.
I have had mine for 6 months
First I shopped around a lot and settled on the 30D. This camera has not let me down at all. I have taken over 10,000 photographs (Not all good) But have gotten some great shots. I am still learning different things with photography and every time I want to try something new the Canon 30d is capable and grows with me. I now have 3 lenses with most of my range and have not at any time regretted my decision buying this camera. It is very easy to use also.

Love It
I have mine about a month now & took it on vacation where I put it thru a lot of use. I really like it. I got about 500 pics out of one charge on the battery. Quality is great. Used it in all modes. The speed at which I could take multiple frames, great. No complaints, wouldn't trade it for anything. ... Read more

A520 Lens problem
I have owned several Canon digital cameras and like them very much.I purchased the A520 as a gift for a family member.After several months the lens cover problem that everyone writes about started happening.It would stick paritally open or closed or all the way open.The key word being stick or stuck.I took it to a Canon Service Center and they repaired it under warranty.After trying to use it for the 1st time several weeks later the lens cover was stuck open and would not budge.I took it back to the Service Center and they repaired it again.While looking at the paperwork after the repair they stated courtesy repair only and not under warranty.It was under warranty and had 90 days from the date they did not repair it the first time.After emailing Canon they said to just email them if I have a problem and they would see what they could do.Very POOR.I like Canon digital cameras but wish I had never purchased the A520.I bought it because of it's low price, which was a big mistake.

A Mistake
This is my third digital camera, I bought it after my tot dunked my previous camera under water. I did a lot of research before I bought this and it was highly rated in Consumer Reports.
Great Value..Until the lens locks up
I'm getting ready to purchase my third powershot and feeling like a glutton for punishment. My first, the A510 was awesome, took great pictures and never gave me a problem, then it got stolen. I immediately tried to replace it, but could only find the A520. All went well at first, the same ease of use (although the night shots/redeye seemed a lot worse). The lens cover would sometimes get snagged and remain open, but I was always able to help it along with a finger. I was still happy enough to buy into aproprietary option like the underwater housing($150), but then the lens mechanism froze up completely and would not extend, and the display seems frozen on the canon splash logo.

Great quality, great pictures, amazing PnS camera.
Yesterday, I got home with my new sd800. And due to the scrutiny of the forums, I immediately had to test it. I compared exact duplicate shots from my SD550 to this "upgrade" sd800. I am very sad to say that in normal shooting conditions, this model just couldn't keep up. The main things I saw the sd800 losing horribly to the sd550 in were: picture clarity, sharpness (edge to edge) and color accuracy (the sd800's produces a very warm shot, too much yellow & red). This was a disappointment indeed when you compare the fact that my sd550 is almost a year old.
Nice, sleek, sharp,... noisy
10 megapixels, digital macro, telephoto, high ISO, higher definition video, less noise even at higher ISO settings. A nice little package that is worth the upgrade from the SD700 series, and coupled with a 4GB Sandisk SDHC, you got yourself a semi-proffesional, portable photography platform...

Great Camera
I have had digital cameras for about 5 years and still own an Olympus 5 megapixel, and a Casio 7 megapixel. Seems like Megamixels alone just don't cut it for me.

Have had this camera for nearly a month now, and I have to say it is truly great for the following reasons:
Very Pleased!!
I am a severe novice at photography and do not know much on the subject but I really wanted to take better pictures of my boyfreind who does freetstyle motocross.I was having a hard time getting the timing down and getting a good zoom with my old camera and with this camera I have been getting some amazing pictures. At first when reading the manual I became extremely overwhelmed and scared that I made a bad decision.I still do not know what the fancy functions are and how to use them.But I did find that it is very user friendly if you just go with the automatic shooting modes. I'm very excited about the wonderful picture quality I've been getting. Some of his sponsors are even using my shots for their advertisements! I highly recommend this camera!!! ... Read more

Great compact camera!
Love this camera. I've owned The SD300, and SD400 and finally this one. Really like using it. The burst is awesome and takes pics rally fast during daytime. Nightime shooting is a little slower, but expected from a digital camera this size.

Fast repair
I asked for this camera for my birthday based on the favorable Amazon reviews.I received it in April and have been very happy with the photos it has taken.Unfortunately in August it stopped working.However, I sent it in with my receipt and they fixed it with no questions and I had it back in my hands in about two weeks or less.I think this is a great little camera for daily point-and-shoot and I would buy from Canon again based on their excellent customer service.

Great features - fragile screen!!!!
Our unit at work purchased several of these cameras for documenting field work.Even though we have all taken great care with them, we have 2 broken LCD screens which means the camera is pretty much junk.

jpeg vs. RAW
I just noticed the reviewer who was upset that the new Canon G7 does not offer a RAW format. As a professional photographer... just wanted to offer a couple of comments on that subject. In my humble opinion, shooting in RAW format, in many cases, is a waste of time... even in most professional work situations. The extra steps in workflow, required by the RAW format, are simply not justified in the majority of photography work situations. I have sold many prints, posters, and stock images produced from jpeg files. I have also been published in magazines and travel books using jpeg images almost exclusively. Many photographers have come to view the jpeg format as the "amatuer" format and RAW as the "professional" format, which I believe is really not accurate. I know a lot of professional photographers who make extensive use of the jpeg format (no matter what camera they are using). I have not found a photogographer or editior, yet, who can actually tell the difference in a print produced from a RAW file and one produced from a high quality jpeg file out of the same camera. I have had this same discussion with a former photographer from National Geographic. He stated that he could not tell the difference in a print from a jpeg file and a RAW file either. He said that he, always, shoots in jpeg format. Yes, I understand the additional ability to "tweak" an image in RAW, but if the image is correctly exposed to begin with... very little "tweaking" should be necessary anyway...and working in jpeg is a much faster and more efficient workflow for me. Just my opinion, but I could care less that the G7 does not offer a RAW format. It seems like a great camera to me. Looking forward to trying one out. The feature set seems to be extraordinary.

BEWARE!RAW capabilities have been REMOVED from this camera!
For all the vast improvements made to this camera line -- if you are a serious amateur photographer who uses RAW file format -BEWARE: Canon has REMOVED the RAW file capabilities from this camera update!I own a Canon G5 and was SO excited to see the improvements listed with the new version of the Power Shot camera; most importantly doubling the megapixels and addressing the camera 'shake' issues that are a serious problem with macro and night photography with the G5.However upon reviewing the data I did not see RAW listed as a file format, only JPEG (a lossy file format).So I picked up the phone and called Canon directly.Their response was, "Canon HAS removed the RAW capabilities from the Power Shot G series cameras.Canon has decided to reserve RAW format only for their more professional SLR series cameras".Well Canon has just lost a sale with me.I'm not interested at this time in their more cumbersome Rebel with interchangeable lenses (nor in one of their even more expensive SLRs).I am a serious photographer that wants a camera with RAW capabilities that is small enough to throw into my bag and run out the door on a whim.I went digital to get away from a large bulky heavy camera and all of the equipment needed to take good photographs.For now, I'll keep my G5 and hope Canon decides to correct this misguided mistake with the next generation Power Shot G8.And if that day doesn't come.... Well I will just have to look elsewhere.Don't mess with me Canon! ... Read more

Good Camera but has a Known Bug
This camera is great overall when it works properly. There is a known issue where the lens will not retract (and it's not due to low battery).
Excellent Camera, Tremendous Value
Bought this to replace an older 3mp Canon that my wife loved, but the battery(and subsequent replacements) were awful.They'd last perhaps 10-20 pictures and then start flashing "low-battery".
Best camera I've ever had.
I purchased this camera about six months ago after my Kodak Easyshare camera completely died on me. I did a little research and read only good things about this Canon camera so I decided to go with it because it was very reasonably priced (about $200). Not only did the camera live up to my expectations, it surpassed them by leaps and bounds! Here are the things I have loved about this camera:

A Gem of a Camera
I bought the Rebel EOS Digital XTi 400D to upgrade my almost 3-year old Rebel EOS Digital 300D (which, by the way, is still a great camera). I won't go into the technical differences between the two cameras, but I will say this: the differences between the two cameras are worth the cost of the upgrade for me. Here's why.
Absolutely stunning
I am an advanced amature. For me, the quality of professionally done prints is the biggest measure of a camera or lense. I will be brief and to the point:
Moving up to your first SLR? What to expect.

Great GIRL POWER camera!..... at least the purple one.
I was 13 decades ago - just didn't want to use my name.
Amazing camera
All I have to say is this is a great digital camera, and I've had a few of them.I just took it on vacation to AZ with me - my first use of the camera and I came home with fantastic images and videos.I had no problems with the camera at all, and never even had to charge the battery or go to the extra, charged battery I brought along with me.I purchased the little battery charger so that I wouldn't have to take along the camera cradle and I advise anyone to buy it.It's very tiny and works great.You cannot go wrong with this camera.It's great at auto so you can just point-and-shoot and enjoy, or very manual if you feel like futzing with it.Also, it's just a very cool looking camera and very sturdy.Even though it's so tiny, I didn't feel like I was going to break it, bull-in-a-china-shop that I am.It was a bit odd getting used to having no veiw-finder to look through, and keep putting the camera up to my eye a few times!

To be a great small consumer camera it would need optical stabilization
This isn't a full review but some thoughts I've had after using it for a long time.
Fantastic compact camera
The EXZ750 is simply a fantastic compact camera. It takes great pictures, even greater if you bother to use one of the many picture presets (scenery, portrait, macro, etc.).
excellent little camera
Very small size (fits in my baggy jean pocket), fast startup, fast response when shooting picture. Much easier to carry around than my Canon G3.
