It's very intuitive to use, not a lot of menu driven changes to make--- obvious button, switch and toggle features. My 12 yr old picks it up and shoots, that's it. I have the flex of Manual settings (ISO 50 setting is great).

QuickTake:

Pros: Can do everything I want it to in a compact package.
Cons: Not an SLR (but not as big either!)

The Canon G2 Digital Camera has a very clear and crisp picture. The battery length was a deciding point on buying this camera, it takes a lot more pictures than most cameras on a single charge.

Pros: The camera is all that I expected.
