 Not happy December 29, 2008

I was very disappointed with the camera, the battery holder does not shut all the way and it causes the battery to not last very long. I will not order from this person again.
 Works for me. December 19, 2008

I needed a low cost, functional digital camera for my middle school science classroom. It is used by myself and dozens of students. So far it has performed very well. And the price was right. It is not the best camera for a serious photographer, but it works great for my educational purposes.
great camera November 16, 2008
wow - what a great camera. The features that I wanted was EASY to operate, point and shoot camera. That is exactly what I got. Just a great camera that fits in your hand, slides in a purse to go anywhere and be ready at all times to take great pic's of kids. It does use AA battaries but with 4 kids I keep a lot of those on hand. Also, I have been told that if I would use the lithium AA they would last longer. Really easy to put pic's on my computer and share them. I really like this camera!!

Great quality. September 30, 2008
I did a little research before buying a camera and when I saw the sample photos and videos shot with the A580 I didn't look further. This was all I needed. The photos are all clear and huge. I took a shot in complete darkness and it came out like I shot it at daylight. I really can't find a flaw to this camera. Even the price is excellent. One of the best things I ever bought.
