Summary: Good camera for the $$

Comment: The camera is easy to use and takes great pictures in AUTO mode. Mode changing on the fly or in low-light conditions is difficult, however. The buttons on the top of the camera are small and function with a minimal depression, thus you need to be very exacting and know how many increments or pressings are required to get the features you want. In low light conditions, the typical black/grey LED display is VERY hard to read. Also, using the zoom and flash regularly, the battery loses enough charge after about 4-5 rolls of film that you need to wait 3-5 seconds for the flash to re-charge. This can cost you a shot under quick action conditions. Of course, for demanding photographic situations, a point and shoot in this price range will never be enough. The only other minor annoyance is the protruding lens which complicates storage in some bags or briefcases - however, this is only a minor issue. I was on a recent trip and cramped for space when this issue came up. Overall the camera is compact, lightweight, pleasant to shoot and takes good pictures; everything you come to expect from Canon.

Summary: Quite technical but good

Comment: I like this camera, the viewfinder doesn't really block the view, just a little bit in the bottom right of the bit you look through, but it doesn't affect the pictures at all.
I've taken good pictures with this camera.
It's got lots of technical settings and buttons...so that's a bit complicated. But when I get the hang of it I'm hoping to be a camera genius.

Summary: Do not buy Canon 150u

Comment: Viewfinder blocks the view. Faulty design. Do not buy this. Canon must stop making this camera. Recommendation to amazon to not carry it, as you will surely get customer returns
