   I bought this camera because of the described features – regular batteries, HD movies as easy as pressing a button, the extra small eye for glare-free steady focus. To supplement my camera, I ordered a 16GB memory card, the recommended case, the 2-year protection plan and after a little research, the designated USB cable: Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS USB Cable – USB Computer Cord for PowerShot SD1400 IS (which with shipping cost $10.74). After trying it out on a skiing trip I was pleased with the fast shooting, the long battery life, true colors and textures. Awesome camera!

   If you are looking for a great little economical camera this is it. Love the AA Battery feature…no charger to take along on trips. You can buy backup batteries almost anywhere. For a AA camera it has a long battery life. I am using rechargables I bought on Amazon. The complaint about the plastic camera body made me laugh. My $1200.00 Olympus Mr Bulky is all plastic so is the interior on my $40,000.00 Pickup. So why expect more from a $100.00 camera. The only comlaint is that the SD card is in the same compartment as the AA batteries. Not a deal breaker for me, but kind of inconvenient. Photos are excellent, sharp bright colors. I didn’t buy this for the video feature however it has better sound quality than my wifes $500.00 camcorder. I was amazed. Love the telephoto viewfinder feature. If you are looking for an economical, take along camera that does a decent job this is it.

   LOVE THIS CAMERA!, March 16, 2013

   I bought four of these (prior version) cameras for school and one for the school auction/dance (auctioned off with 4 hours of my time for photo instruction, etc.).

   Anyhow – I LOVE these cameras. AA batts so I don’t have to worry about whether the camera is charged or not. (I have a PowerShot SX210 with two lithium batts, personally. But for school, recharging batts is no good – the cameras might sit on the shelf for a while and lose charge and I don’t want to buy extra $60 batts for them.)

   So…kids use them, mostly, to shoot videos. Being able to take the SCCard out of the camera and put it into a small SD Card reader is just so easy. Forget about the USB cable. Most laptops now come with SD slots in them so you can pop the card out of the camera and into your laptop – how much easier is that??

   I think this is an EXCELLENT –> ENTRY LEVEL <– camera for kids, particularly; but, really, anyone who wants to start learning about photography. Yeah, it lacks a lot of bells and whistles a lot of the other P&S cameras have, but that’s GREAT because there is nothing to distract you from learning how to “see” a good photo and learn all about the “photographer’s eye”.

   I’ve also felt that it’s good not having too much stuff on a device because then you can really learn what you are missing and KNOW what to look for when you’re ready to move up to the next level.

   I think a lot of folks “overbuy” in a camera, especially, and then either get frustrated with it because there just is too much to learn or, worse, just don’t use the camera.

   The price is right – the camera is more than capable of taking great photos. I plan to buy some more for the school.
