Buyer beware: you get what you pay for [Posted on 2007-08-22]
I got this camera in September 2006, and it died around June 2007 (a useful life of approx. 9 months). Out of the blue one day it said "low battery", and would shut off when I tried to take pictures. It was no help to change the batteries. I sent it in for warranty repair, but the factory found a dent in the lense ring (which to my knowledge has no relation to the batteries) and because I had "damaged" the camera, they were going to charge me $94.29 to repair the whole thing. After I told them lense repair was not wanted or necessary, they told me any damage anywhere voids the entire warranty. I have heard of similar battery issues from at least one other person. You are better off buying a more expense and better quality camera, rather than buying one of these every nine months.
Good While it Lasted [Posted on 2007-09-15]
Bought this little gem last August for my son's birthday. 13 months later the LED screen is frozen with god knows what on it's screen. Will cost $50 just to open it up. Won't buy Canon again.
Outstanding little camera [Posted on 2007-12-28]
I bought this a year ago refurbished for $100. It's now been all over the world, taken thousands of luscious images, and is light to carry, doesn't eat batteries, and has a boatload of features if you take time to work through the manual. They've tried, but the menus onscreen are not completely intuitive so a few hours with the manual are vital. When this guy dies, I'll be buying exactly the same model.
amazing... [Posted on 2008-03-29]
I bought my canon a430 from amazon over a year and am very impressed with the quality, crispness, speed between pics, especially in kids and pet setting (as some users seem to be unaware of) Also Great mic and video. I accidently left it in the rain and soaked it... four days later it was as great as ever...If lost I would replace it with the exact same item. Battery life is also impressive on this camera.
