Review: Amaze - Well taken care of and beautiful quality tbh. Good for night pics too.
Review: NO USB CORD?!?! REALLY?!? - When you buy this unit, you get part of a camera system but not all of the necessary pieces. The camera itself is fine. I have owned a couple of these through the years, and they are easy to use. They take reasonably good pictures too. All operate the same way, so I have had no transition issues. Before buying this thing, I caught the idea that I needed to buy a separate memory card and that I would have to come up with my own camera case too. We are all used to manufacturers "going cheap" on products and not including everything you need. I had no serious problem with that. What got me, however, was that, after taking pictures on vacation, I realized that there was no USB cord included with the camera to use to connect the camera to my laptop. This meant that I could not transfer the pictures to my computer unless I placed another desertcart order and waited for delivery. This was especially disturbing since I wanted to give the pictures to departing guests but ran out of time since I could not even transfer the pictures to my computer. I would have gladly paid a few more bucks to get a memory card and a USB cord. I mean, I thought I was buying a workable camera unit and not merely most (but not all) of the major components of one. It is obvious that a manufacturer's reputation does not always benefit from "going cheap" when it degrades the overall brand and customer experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect, compact, easy to use, excellent picture quality
*by K***N on April 26, 2016*

I bought this camera for my mother, who recently became a first time grandma. As you can imagine, lots of pictures have been taken on this camera. While searching for the perfect point and shoot camera, I really had to find something for a person who has difficulty with complicated technological things. She used to have a Samsung camera that had lots of different settings and features, which was nice but just not for my mom. I always like Canon for myself and find this inexpensive awesome camera. It was easy to set up and my mom loves using it. She just keeps it on an auto setting and just has to know how to turn it on, take picture, use flash, turn it off. She always has this camera with her. It is very compact and could easily fit in a pocket of purse. My mom has been using this camera since around January, so over 3 months and it has not had any problems thus far. I was also support satisfied about the deal that came with the memory card also! Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. Thank you for reading my review. Please let me know if you found this helpful.
