   Sorry to say, this is my 1st negative review of a product on Amazon and I hate to do it, however I would not be able to recommend this camera model to anyone! (I have had Canon Powershots in the past that I loved, too.)

   I bought this camera and immediately fell in love. It was easy to use, took great macro and regular shots, and was just an overall wonderful camera! That was until the batteries started going out after about taking 50 shots with it. No flash was being used at all, it was only in macro mode. And this happened repeatedly no matter what batteries I used. I have at least 4 different sets of rechargeable AA’s that I have used successfully with my other camera. They would last forever in that one, but not in this camera! You get about 50 shots and that’s it. Basically this makes this camera completely USELESS for me. I have an online business that requires me to take many shots to weed out the best ones to use – and needless to say after going through 4 different sets of batteries within 15 minutes time after time has made me furious. I am going to return this camera today, garbage!!

   I returned this camera because it took forever for it to recover after taking a picture and a lot of the pictures ended up being very blurry.

   I love the camera! It’s easy to use, and takes great pictures. It is a little big so it was hard to find a case for it. But I deffinitely recommed this camera unless you like charging a camera rather then batteries.

   I bought the Canon PowerShot A495 10.0 MP Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD as a gift to my mother last year. She loves it. Easy to use, takes great pictures, reasonable price and is reliable. Last month she thought she had lost it and was very upset. So I looked for a better one that might have come up on the market since last year. After looking and looking we decided the best think would be just get the same one. We ordered it and she ended up finding the old one. She was so excited she jumped and screamed like a kid. We returned the new ordered one and Amazon was very good at refunding, as always.
