    I bought this camera for my Grandaughter for her 9th birthday. She loves it. Takes videos and still photos. I bought it so that when the weather gets warm it will get her to spend more time outside taking nature photos.

    Very difficult to see target through viewer in bright light due to reflections. Also, camera went to "power save" while trying to lock on to target before I could take the picture, had to turn it back on again. Missed a few shots due to this. Camera did not come w/usb cord to download pics to computer. Not impressed.

    I realize this is a lower end camera, but I was surprised at the quality, or lack of, it being a Canon product. I returned it within days, as I was not at all happy. My go to camera will more than likely be a Fuji Fine Pix. The one I have now is Many years old, and just beginning to fail.

    I find this camera is not a great upgrade from the model that I have had for years. I was hoping for better pictures and easier handling. I don't see any improvement on the picture quality (particularly color) and I am still trying to figure out how to get the pictures on my computer.

    I've used Canon Elph cameras for many years as my pocket camera with a zoom. However the pics on this one are not as sharp as on my previous Elph cameras. I rarely use it because of that.
