Pros: Small, easy to use Cons: USELESS after only 1 1/2 year, no battery life indicator The Bottom Line: Do not Buy... Canon has an E18 Error problem with these camers and leaves it useless after short pieriod of time. Do your homework! from Shopping.com My Canon digital camera (which i paid almost $400 for) has encountered three failures in less than... from Cnet.com The SD450 is a great value and easy to use. I had to have mine repaired however due to a very sensitive screen which cracked in my wifes purse. from Amazon.com I bought the Canon SD 450 when it first hit the market and I have not been disappointed! Its an amazing camera for the value. from Amazon.com The SD450 is one of the best digital camera I ever had. The casing seem to be build very solid with metal. from Amazon.com My Camera SD450 Digital ELPH (5M) is just 15 months old.. Upon searching from Amazon.com I bought Sd 450 Mar, 2006, I think I did right thing, SD450 is very good digital camera. from Amazon.com It is so easy to use and takes good pictures. It is also very small and easy to carry. We bought the Canon leather case for this model, which protects it and is no trouble to use. We also bought a 2-gig SD card, and it holds tons of pictures. from Amazon.com Video quality is very good. Also it is durable. I would recommend Canon SD450 to anyone. from Amazon.com Nice and compact, I keep it in my purse for random cute photographs of my daughter. I previously owned a Kodak EasyShare and while it was only 4 MP, it took better photos (white balance and vividness). The Canon needs a little tweaking to get the desired look you want. from Amazon.com
