I got this camera soon after it was released and I've used it for every occasion since. Its come with me to 3 different countries and every time it didn't let me down. from Amazon.com My PowerShot A610 was purchased in March, 2005, and after very minimal use and NO abuse at about 18 months of age developed the dreaded E18 error, which in my case means the lens will not extend when the camera is powered on. Short of completely dismantling the camera I have tried all the posted internet fixes without success. from Amazon.com I received this camera for Christmas three years ago and I've never had a problem with it. I love that the screen comes out and can be turned around so that you can see when taking a picture of you and a friend and no one else is a round to take it. from Amazon.com My trusty A610 has just made the grand transformation from digital camera to paper weight. I turned it on today for the first time since September to photograph the snowy trees we've got in Seattle and found the LCD blacked out. from Amazon.com This is a great camera as long as you don't get one of the ones with the defective CCD chip. Canon bought some defective vendor supplied chips and some found their way into this model. from Amazon.com This is an excellent camera for the price. It is the best camera I have used in it's price range (i.e., $150, give or take a few dollars) and the multi angle, flip screen makes taking candid photos much easier since you can hold the camera from positions other than in front of your face (a pretty obvious position if you want to get natural expressions with people rather than nervous poses and cheesy smiles) and opens the door for creative angles, which I personally enjoy. from Amazon.com I had the camera for the past 3 years. No complaints so far. A little heavy with all the batteries but takes great pictures. from Amazon.com I want to echo the review by Johnny Damon: "Features and functionality are very nice, but I cannot get a single sharp image; pictures are all blurry and noisy no matter what setting i use. Like the previous reviewer, I also get the camera shake icon way too often." Everything else is great but because this simple defect is inadmissible, I'll give it 1 star only! from Amazon.com This camera now has some dings on the body from my rough handling, but it's still going strong and taking great pictures and video. I can't say enough about how well it's performed. from Amazon.com I do like this monopod. I have never owned one before, but do like the extra stabilization that the fold down foot provides. I also like the fact that it comes with a shoe thing that attaches to the camera and clicks onto the monopod. from Amazon.com
