I was bought this camera for christmas as an upgrade from a previous canon digital camera. I find it very easy to use and find it produces great quality photos. I am no photographer but this camera is in the right price bracket for a family camera that you can take anywhere without having to worry unduly about the cost of breaking it and yet has all the features. I am not interested in sittng down reading an instruction manual and found that with this camera I spent approximately 20mins setting it up and then was ready to go. Weight wise it feels like a proper camera and yet is not too bulky. Only downside from my point of view is that as with many digital cameras it only comes with a 16 memory card and therefore you have the extra expense of obtaining a higher capacity card. In my case this was frustrating as it was a present and i had to wait to get the extra capacity card. Photos taken using the flash are also good.

Manufacturer's product description
PowerShot A420 is equipped with an approximately 4.0 million camera effective pixel Charge Coupled Device (CCD), and with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved. This camera is equipped with the 3.2x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 39 mm (Wide Angle) to 125 mm (Telephoto) and f/2.8 (Wide Angle) - f/5.1 (Telephoto) aperture. This camera is equipped with an upgraded 1.8-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and up to ISO 400 can be selected in the shooting mode. The recording pixels now include a "Widescreen" feature that has the same aspect ratio as 16:9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. This camera can take QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) movies at 30 frames per second. Super Macro in the "Manual" mode allows you to shoot a subject when the distance from the front of the lens to the subject is in the range of 1 to 5 cm (0.39 to 2.0 in.) when shooting. By revising the operability of the previous My Colors mode, Color Accent mode and Color Swap mode that transform colors when shooting have been added to the shooting mode. The My Colors and Photo Effect modes have been combined into the new "My Colors" in the FUNC. menu and are used to change the look and feel of the pictures when shooting. This camera is equipped with a "Print/Share" button. This button lets you easily print your images by connecting the camera directly to a direct print compatible printer. When the camera is connected to a computer (Windows /Mac OS X), pressing the Print/Share button lets you easily download images directly from the camera to the computer. A new "Print Menu" including all the menus for printing has improved camera operations for such functions as direct printing. Treasure your family's memories as glossy, durable photos from the SELPHY CP510. Immediate prints direct from your digital camera via the clever retractable USB cable.
Fantatic Picture quality, fantastic camera.
