I have to say this before anything else this is a $100 camera. You get what you pay for.

The good:

It's 10M Pixels

It's $100.

Takes nice pictures (in good light).

AA batteries.

Fits in my hand very well.

The "Auto" mode makes it easy.

The bad:

Cheap construction (to the point of damaging Canon's reputation of quality products in my opinion).

No image stabilization (but.... it is a $100 camera...)

**"Charging the flash"... This is an approx 5-10 second delay every time you want to take a picture. It may not sound like that much time, but it gets real annoying real quick.

Bottom line:

It takes pictures. It takes nice pictures. They get a little grainy and colors get a little off at low light. But in good light, it makes good picts. But the delay between pictures, mostly from the "Charging the flash" message, is just too much of an annoyance for me. Which is a shame, because this is a decent little camera otherwise. But, it's annoying enough that I wouldn't recommend purchasing this camera (unless your patiences exceeds mine).
