Canon PowerShot SD100 Digital ELPH

With the PowerShot SD100, you've got the best of both worlds - the compact size and high style of the Digital ELPH series plus the higher resolution of a 3.2 Megapixel camera. It's... more...the combination you've been looking for! PowerShot SD100 is the very first Digital ELPH to offer compatibility with SD technology. You'll experience expanded capacity and high-speed writing from a memory card that's the size of a postage stamp. With 3.2 megapixels of imaging power, your pictures will impress you and everyone else with their clarity, depth and brilliant color. The genuine Canon optical zoom lens and seamlessly integrated digital zoom give you the power to close in on the shot you want every time. The camera's Wide Area 9-point AiAF system gives you the freedom to place your subject anywhere in the frame, confident that it will be accurately, automatically focused every time. Record movie clips up to 3 minutes long, then play them back right away. Clips up to 30 seconds long can be recorded with spectacular 640 x 480 VGA quality. Photo Effects including Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia and Black and White give you easy, high-impact creative control over your photography. Whether they were taken horizontally or vertically, your images will show up correctly oriented in playback mode and on your computer.

I really love this camera, and still depend upon it! I find that it rarely takes a bad picture, is very reliable and user friendly. Changing memory cards(it uses SD cards which I favor, and which are inexpensive and readily available)and batteries is simple. It has a nice interface to view the photos on its memory card, too.

In addition, it is very durable, having an all-metal body(my sister has dropped hers many times without ill effects). Its size is very convenient for keeping on your person, and it has a decent set of specs despite that. Its use of battery life isn't bad, either.

I have had this camera for several years and have yet to have any problems with it, including the LCD screen. I've downloaded its photos onto 3 very different computers(Mac OSX, Windows ME)and it was a snap with each of them.
