I bought this camera from Amazon about a month ago to replace a 4 yr old Kodak. I went with this camera for the great reviews on multiple sites and because of the Canon brand.

Our reasons being:
1) All point and shoot Canons have the Color Accent feature, which is way too much fun to play with.
2) The image quality, in our opinion, is equal, if not far superior to all other models we played with. The color was crisper, the image was clearer (mostly ... Read More
