This camera used to be,more than 3 years ago, rated Number 1 in all digital camera reviews and buyer's guides. Today's cameras have higher resolutions, but that doesn't make them better. The key features for a digital camera should be:
1- Easy-to-use buttons/controls/menus/settings
2- Image Sharpness and Color Accuracy
3- Battery Consumption and Versatility
4- Memory Card Type and Compatibility
5- Image size and printability.
Well guess what? This camera has it all !
1- The settings menus and control buttons are intuitive, so you can get back to shooting the action A.S.A.P. !
2- Image clarity: it's CANON's all glass lens system, need I say more ?
3- Even regular alkaline batteries, can last the whole day on "FINE" quality setting ! Can also use rechargeable NiMH batteries to save you money.
4- CompactFlash is THE most widely used and reliable Memory Card format. This camera includes an 8 MB card which can store up to 39 pictures in FINE mode. Eventually, you will love this camera so much you will end up buying more memory. And, because it is the most popular format, it is the cheapest !
5- The image sizes are small enough to be sent in e-mails, look good on web pages and can also be printed on wallet size, 4x6, and 5x7 photo paper !
In conclusion, if you want to save time, money, and aggravation (with Hi-Tech digital cameras) get the Canon A10. I bought 16 A10's on behalf of my "not so techy" friends and their family members.
Trust me it is a winner !
Have Fun.
