Introduction Still on the hunt for a compact digital camera to use as a backup for when I'm not carrying my SLR film gear, I've been able to easily dismiss the ultracompact cameras (Canon's SD series) due to their generally poor image quality, ...

Pros: Nice controls; great size; excellent focus; beautiful LCD screen; long battery life

I recently picked up the A700 to replace my previous digital camera, an old 2.0 megapixel Fuji Finepix 4100, that I had for about 4 years. I had pretty much decided on a Canon A series, having played around with some previous years' models and heard only ...

Pros: Good print quality, reasonable price, good digital zoom.
Cons: No image stabilizer, bigger than some competing models.

A few years back, I bought a Fuji 2.0 megapixel digital camera. The quality was not good. Because of this, I stuck with my trusty film camera for years. I recently bit my tongue and bought this new digital camera. Overall, I am very pleased with it. ...

Pros: small for auto/manual camera, big zoom, high ISO, decent design, big lcd.
Cons: Jury out on photo quality.

Jury's out for me on picture quality. I was going to get the A620, and with all the raves about it's picture quality, I'm wondering if this one stacks up. I figured picture-quality-wise, this camper would be the same or better in terms of overall quality. I picked it cuz it was a bit smaller, higher ISO ceiling, bigger zoom. But I dunno, the auto setting seesm to give fuzzy pictures more often than I would like, and the overall color quality seems a little lacking. I'm not unhappy with it, but so far not blown away. Anyone else with a similar experience?

Pros: easy to operate, very vivid pictures
Cons: none so far
