My new camera

I want to thank everyone for their advice on a digital camera. I wanted to let you know what I got and give my 'official review.' I got the Cannon SD85o IS.

Here are the major good points:

• very fast shutter speed
• excellent pictures in dim indoor lighting
• nice design, small but still easy to hold
• good manual controls
• several scene modes

Here are the major bad points:

• having trouble getting the software for the camera on the computer to work properly
• can't use macro mode, wide angle with flash, the barrel of the camera creates a shadow

Conclusion: I'm going to keep it. The macro mode thing really, really annoys me. But I'm very critical of digital images. I have to take into account what I bought the camera for. An everyday use camera to carry around in my purse to use at social functions, vacations, and stuff like that. I have to remember that I didn't buy it for flash macro images - how often would I do that anyway.

So, Image Goddess rating: four out of five stars
