First, ill start with my only con, ths camara is shy on the zoom, only packing 3X lens zoom, plus some digital zoom, although for a camara this size, im fine with that.
As far as all of the good stuff, this camara is an excelent deal for the price, the resolution can be set far above most computer monitors, so most likely, you wont even be able to veiw the photos in they're full glory until better monitors come out. The size is perfect, just a little smaller than a deck of cards, and the weight is about that as well. I just love this camara, the color of this version is awesome as well, i like it far better than the silver or any of the other colors out there. As far as color quality on the pictures, it is very nice, not professional, but far better than any other camara i have tried in this price range, so its very good, along with being very sharp with such high resolutions.
The feature i like most about this camara is the widescreen mode, you can take pictures in widescreen at a resolution of 3264 x 1832 which makes for very nice pictures.
Overall, i highly recommend this camara to anyone, so far all my pictures are nothing short of sharp, vivid, and very lifelike, which is what i have come to expect from cannon. I also highly recommend this over any Sony camara.
