	Fujifilm Finepix F40fd 8.3MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
	"Fujifilm F40fd Better Than My Canon PowerShot SD600!"	2007-06-22
I was so happy with my purchase of the Fujifilm S700 two months ago (my first Fuji - I own/have owned many Canons) that I dove in again and purchased this Fujifilm F40fd two weeks ago for a trip to Alaska. After 500 photos, this is what I like about this Fuji: 1) High Resolution LCD (With 230,000 pixals, the screen is very sharp). 2) Excellent photos in low light and in bright sunlight. Most of my photos are very sharp with accurate color. The flash is a good, strong (intelligent) flash... I think quite strong for a small camera. This might also be the reason I have not noticed any red-eye in my flash photos. 3) Uses SD memory cards as well as XD cards (like my Fuji S700). 4) Battery life is very good and the camera has a battery-life indicator. 5) The speed in taking a photo is .6 (or 6/10) of a second without prefocus and .1 (or 1/10) of a second when prefocused - Tested the camera on shooting-digital's online test page. The only thing I regret about this camera is the lack of an optical viewfinder. At times, it would be helpful when taking photos in bright sunlight, but this camera has so many pluses, I can live without it. The camera is also slightly larger and heavier than my Canon PowerShot SD600, but I can live with that too. Overall, I think this is a great camera - and very easy to operate!
	Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
	"ONE TOUGH LITTLE GEM!"	2007-03-18
I've owned the SD600 for a few months now, and agree with most of the reviews, thus far - it's a great little camera. Of course, I am partial to Canons, because I consider them the best! This afternoon, I thought it was time to write a review of my own, however. After finding a wasps' nest, I felt brave enough to photograph it in macro mode "up close and personal". On my third or fourth shot, the wasps had had enough of this intruder and zoomed in on me, sending me and camera backwards over steps and onto the concrete patio floor... still holding my PowerShot with the wrist strap. My poor camera bounced across the concrete steps and floor several times before I made it to safety. The battery/memory card cover had snapped off in the process and the camera had powered off. Oh no, I thought, I'll have to invest in another one. But wait - the battery cover, although plastic, was unbroken and only needed to be snapped back on. With that on, the camera was able to power up again! Joy, joy, everything was working! The end results were a few almost unnoticeable scratches to the front of the camera and four wasp stings to my arm and leg which are swelling as I type, but my SD600 is one tough little gem! Don't know if the SD1000 could be any better.
	Canon PowerShot A530 5MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
	"Great Point and Shoot Camera"	2006-05-13
I thought this Canon deserved more than an average of 3.5 stars, so I'm adding my comments. I bought the A530 for my daughter when it became available on Amazon. She had taken photos, with her three-year-old Sony 5MP, of her roses in macro mode. Most of the photos were out of focus. The Sony just seemed to have trouble focusing on the right subject in macro mode. I have found that Canon cameras take excellent photos, especially in macro mode, and the A530 has not disappointed. She (and I) have taken many sharply focused photos of flowers, up close. LIKES: Very good quality, features, and price. Sharp and colorful photos. Easy to use, small and lightweight. Improved over the A520 with 5MP instead of 4MP and MUCH faster performance. DISLIKES: Canon's decrease of LCD pixel resolution per inch on the lastest models - A430, A530, A540. A disappointment, but only a small annoyance. ADDED NOTE: Daylight photos are always better over indoor flash shots, whenever possible, with any camera.
