Customer Review: Love it. The best $120 I have ever spent.
I’ve had this camera for a while now (2.5 years). It still works great! I got my money’s worth and more. I have abused this camera so much and it is still fine . It is a good beater camera that i can take everywhere and i don’t have to worry about (since i only bought it for $120 new at Target). I’ll keep this camera till it’s dead, get stolen ,or lost. Well worth it!
Customer Review: A year-long investment at most
After my Canon Powershot A520 stopped working, the first place I went to try and figure out how to fix it was online. Other than formal reviews from PC and photo magazines, it seemed to me that the most common other finding from extensive searches were customer reviews describing the exact same problem I was experiencing (camera refuses to ‘power up’ or stay on) with little or no explanations or ways to troubleshoot. Go ahead an do a google on it, you’ll likely find more than a few customer complaints on it. My camera will not turn on anymore, and I gather that it is not worth it to try and fix it.
It should be noted that before I had this problem, I definitely did like this camera quite a bit. It wasn’t the best in it’s class, but, although it was a gift, it is more affordable than many options, and had more different kinds of options and gave the amateur photographer a lot of different options. Just consider that you’ll probably only get a year or two out of this thing at most before it breaks down. That’s not necessarily a bad trade-off if you take a lot of pictures.
