    Posted by: from Toronto, ON on 03/03/2013Very good camera for the price with great optical zoom range for the size and excellent pictures in low light. Short battery life though. No Viewfinder.

    Disagree with the previous review completely

    Posted by: from on 02/24/2013I usually buy a new point and shoot every year, and use them quite intensively. After using this camera for nearly two months now, it's safe to say its the best camera I have ever owned. The only bad thing is the battery life. I have not been experiencing a long wait between shots like the previous review, so I think it is possible that the previous editor was using a low speed Sd card. Love this camera and would definately reccomend it.

    I am very dissapointed in this camera!

    Posted by: from Duluth, MN on 07/15/2012I have owned numerous Canon camera's and thought I did my reserch on which camera to pick next, but I am very dissapointed in this one Canon! The time between snap shots and the time it takes to take the picture are very, very slow! The battery life is so short, I have to carry the charger with me at all times. You would have to buy a spare battery with you that was charged, and they are expensive! I went on-line to buy a camera case to fit this model and there was none...I prefer the tite fitting cases so it is not bounced around, and no such luck..I will be sending this camera back for a different model for sure! I would not recomend this model camera...
