This camera has great auto functions, a good range zoom, and a convenient touch screen. I'd recommend it to new photographers who want to take nice photos on vacation with minimal effort. I did however return it because I was looking for a camera that would let me get more in depth with the settings, and allow me to swap lenses to get different focal lengths and depths of field. I ended up going with the Canon t6i, which I also love.

This is a very easy camera to operate and takes great pictures. The zoom leaves a little to be desired , but the quality of pics and the ease of operation more than make up for that. It is a little bulky , for this type of camera, but it's not too big to carry around.

I bought this camera based solely on a Consumer Reports review...something I rarely do. It's everything CR says it is and more. Frame the photos well and you'll get tack sharp well-saturated images. My only dislikes are that it feels a little small in my hands and therefore a bit cumbersome to use. I plan to order the available accessory grip and hope that this remedies this minor issue. Also, be sure to get the available lens hood and an extra battery. Battery life is so-so especially when using the flash.

This camera really has no surprises to it. It takes excellent photos and fine video, is a great performer, well-built, great ergonomics, and has an easy to use interface. I've owned many powershot cameras, the G9, G12, G15, G16 and now this beauty. The image quality is unbelievable for a point and shoot, I really enjoy using it and I'm very satisfied with the results it produces.

Pros: A solid performer, great photo quality, wifi connectivity is a great feature if a little clunky. Cons: Heavy, Lens has to come out a fair amount on startup. Just too big to pocket.
