Canon PowerShot A2100 IS user reviews Date: 2010-04-16 - 06:00:48 Author: Garmon Rating:    I bought this camera because my Sony had defective electronics that weren't worth fixing. I'm very glad I bought this camera. It was reasonably priced and had standard AA Nickel metal hydrate batteries, instead of a special propriatery battery and memory card, like the Sony. I was very interested in the image stabilization feature, as I can no longer hand-hold a camera steady enough to prevent blurring. Although the manual settings are not complete, one can tweak some of the features to allow for full manual operation. I took a great photo of the full moon, with a tripod, and I was able to tweak the settings into an exceptionally clear photo. Yes the camera is a little bulky, but having standard AA batteries is worth the inconvenience. Getting the 8GB HCSD card, with a reader, was a great deal. I like the feature of creating a folder for each month. I never directly download pictures via the camera because of the slow speed. I only download via the card reader and Windows Explorer, which is very fast. I like the 3" large screen. A great camera that I highly recommend, provided you take the time to experiment and tweak the settings. Taking time exposure with a tripod and the shutter delay allows me to take great pictures, just like my old Canon AE-1. Obviously, I would prefer a digital SLR, but for the cost, this camera was well worth it. I have learned that it is not worth it to invest heavily in an expensive camera since the technology curve is so steep that the camera becomes obsolete so quickly. An extended warranty is worthless, because most electronics will fail within the first year. After that, it is unlikely to have problems (except with a Sony) for quite a while. When the camera finally dies, it would not be worth fixing, but rather buy a new camera with the latest technology features.
