    I love this camera and the zoom. It's perfect for vacations. However indoor pictures and low lighting could be improved. Otherwise awesome camera for the price

    Does a great job picturing family gatherings as well as outdoor scenes. The telephoto is handy for getting in close and the picture quality and detail is first class.

    This camera was great for focusing quickly on archival documents. It holds a lot and made my work easy. The quality of the photos of the documents was very clear.

    I purchased this camera for my wife. She wanted a compact camera with a quick shutter lag. The picture quality is quite good.

    The images taken by this camera are not as sharp as the other canon camera I've previous owned (it finally had to retire after a long faithful year's of service). Also this one does take a lot of battery energy to use, as it has been mentioned by other users. I had barely used it before I had to recharge it.

    I love my dslr camera, but this is great for the times that you don't want to carry all the equipment. It does a good job and slides easily into your pocket.

    For the dollar amount the camera does alright. However, I don't think the picture quality is as good as my old camera.
