Excellent Compact Digital Camera

bysenchang Dec 11, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, quality of pictures, design
Cons Dock required to upload to PC.
Recommended it? Yes

In my camera purchase decision, I looked for quality, ease of use, and price. Quality and ease of use was easy to narrow down. My Canon-owning friends love their cameras, and online reviews are nearly unanimous in praising Canon's picture quality. The decison was between the SD400 and the SD30. I... Read full review »

Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it.  I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera.  I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
