    I wanted a small camera to through in a pocket and take with me everywhere, even hiking. This little body is just packed with features and ability to control as much as you want. The lens renders beautifully. I've used the viewfinder a lot more than I thought I would. The touch screen for focusing, reviewing photos and menus is a breeze to use. I shoot mostly stills but will use video in the future. My experience with it has been fantastic!

    I wrote a really long review but Bestbuy said it had inappropriate language so I condensed for brevity Solid camera. Packed full of features found in higher end full framed cameras in a compact package Shoots great photos. Great dynamic range. Easy to use navigation and screen. Good build and good battery life. Great lens with awesome focal lengths and apertures. Definitely worth the almost 1000 bucks for a camera because it has so much features and quality. Dont be hesitant because of the cost. It is very competitively priced for what its got.

    Purchased this point & shoot to supplement my Canon DSLR cameras. Very compact (fits in my jacket pocket) and produces excellent results. Features and controls provide the same settings as a full size DSLR or just shoot in AUTO mode. Pop up view finder and excellent low light capability make this camera a joy to use.

    So far very pleased with this little camera. Even though I had already downgraded from DSLR to mirrorless, I still wanted something even smaller that would still take great photos and offer some creative flexibility. Love how wide the maximum aperture is for such a small camera, while still having a decent zoom capability.

    Great pocket camera. It has so much in it's small package. I have two Canon DSLR cameras and my pocket camera finally wore out. This one is great to have when you just can't take the larger camera with you. Love it!

    Amazing for a point-and-shoot camera but the video is not great. If you want something that is good for both photo and video, I'd go with the G7x. If you are more focused on just your photos, go with this one.

    This is my travel companion as other cameras are big. Takes nice pictures and videos. Wish it had a bigger zoom. It comes with 5X zoom only.

    I'm no serious shutterbug, but I did want something markedly better than my phone's camera for not too much money. And I'll be hotdogged if this camera didn't fit into those criteria perfectly. I am constantly amazed by the clarity and detail of its images even in simple point and click mode, and all of its in-camera editing tools are very useful for some of what we do with it. I suppose I can imagine a camera that takes better images maybe, but at this price and quality and for the light use I put this camera through, it is perfect.

    This camera replaced my much older PowerShot A640. It is great to have a high pixel LCD screen and larger viewfinder. I can now see things clearly with reading classes - even with the viewfinder. The camera is very user friendly and I was able to navigate the menu system fairly easily. Still need to learn more of the technical areas but this is why I bought the camera. I can now enjoy being more creative taking pictures and manipulating RAW files. The tracking system for auto focus is great. This is useful for nature pictures where things then to move. I did not quite like the ability to take a picture by touching the LCD screen. I can see how this could be useful to some people but I was taking too many pictures by mistake so I turned this option off. The camera is also VERY fast and quiet and having the larger 20 megapixel files is great. Also love the rubberized surface and grips on the front and back. Makes it easy to control the camera. One minor complaint - the battery indicator does not power usage status very well in my opinion. In one instance, I thought I had a good amount of power left then the indicator started flashing that I was about to run out of juice soon. I plan on getting a back-up battery just in case. Overall a great camera!!
