I have owned this camera since 2004, so I find the earlier review, written in 2008, which suggests this camera isn’t sending folks flocking to the stores, a little strange. The flocks are probably looking for newer models. Anyway, after four years, I needed a new battery, and found myself checking out the newest options for a moment, and thought I’d review my reliable old friend.
This camera is fast, quiet, and the photos are outstanding. I primarily use the automatic functions, and it is a breeze to get amazing photos. I am an avid amateur photographer with more of an interest in the composition of the picture than in exposure settings and such, and I have found this camera to be wonderful in every way. After four years, the two batteries I have had since the beginning are finally failing, and I have had a few minor problems during battery malfunctions. Other than that, the camera is durable, has traveled the world, taken thousands upon thousands of photos, around the world, and of my precious children at home. A favorite subject of mine is flowers, and this camera does an amazing job on those as well. I couldn’t be happier with this camera, and can only hope it will give me another four years, or more!

Received this through Amazon for Xmas. “Error 99″ repeatedly occurred. Tried a different battery, different memory card, clean lens contacts as recommended. Tried a different lens. No fix.
Will be sending back to Amazon for credit. Will have to think about ordering another of the XS. Maybe try an XSI? Seems people on this site have had focusing problems with that though.

Got e99 error after one month. Bought it for Xmas and now it is dead. Changing battery, sd card and lens doesn’t help at all. After the error, the len autoclean doesn’t work any more. You can let it clean once in the menu but it automatic turned off the automatic clean no matter what you set. I am not the first one got e99 error. See the other one star review. He had a similar problem. Contacting amazon custom service now and hope it is still in their holiday return period.

So far everything with this camera has been great. We are not photography gurus, but it meets our needs well.

I’ve moved up from my old Sony Cybershot to the Canon XS – and i’m very pleased with my purchase. I like how it fits in my hand, and the features are incredible – i just can’t wait until it warms up so i can take some nice landscape pictures!
Overall it’s a good camera, but i’m going to have to buy additional lenses – want some extra zoom and maybe a macro too.
