Opinion: You simply cannot get a better camera period.
I currently own a Fuji f40fd & f20. While this camera is alittle slower. It does seem to have a better zoom 6x vs. 3x.
Better ISO quality.
Very good battery life. All the latest features and 10 megapixels.

Problems: None. So far

Opinion: Advantages of my own view:
01) 1cm macro
02) AA battery(Very convenient)
03) More than 500 shots for fully charged battery
04) Face detection
05) Produced very sharp images at lower ISO

Problems: Disadvantages of my own view:
01) Too noisy above ISO 400
02) IS feature not really effective
03) Self time need to Pre-focus 1st, means it will be useless
for taking self picture. I prefer auto tracking like Limix
camera, the camera will refocus after activating self
timer.

Opinion: I own a Canon A630, A640, and A650, and I absolutely love them. Although I don't own this camera, I would expect it to be very similar in quality, fuction, and MP's, as my A640.
But the real reason I felt I had to post, was to comment on the user before me who said > Self time need to Pre-focus 1st, means it will be useless for taking self picture. <
This is actually only partly true. It would be helpful if the camera would count down, then focus, then fire, in that order......
But I actually use my A-series cameras "all the time" for self taken shots. I simply use the "C" custom mode, and set the camera for a manual focus, of the correct distance, ahead of time. Works great :-) I use it this way to take my trophy sportfish photos, while fishing by myself, more than I use the A-series cameras for anything else.

Problems: EDIT: I have found that the new A2000 and A1000 have dropped the swivel screen... making it completely useless for my purposes (self taken shots). As well as dropped to 2 batts (less capacity now) and lost some great manual features.
What the hell, Canon ???

Peace,
Fish

Opinion: Hi Guys,

Posting review and rate "for fun" and without the camera on hand is completely useless! How a guest can trust those "review" when most of them are written by people like you who just read the specs somewhere on the web??? How can you rate the image quality and all 5 items if you did not use the camera daily???

Come on, stop this pollution, review your own camera and use the forum for the others geek you like or dislike, it will be far more useful and interesting!

Problems: Yes one big : those useless comments which should be posted in the forum, not in the camera database...
