    It is a nice camera for the price. I returned it, wasn't what I was looking for. If your looking for an inexpensive camera than this could be one.

    After using this camera for almost 2 months, I'm still learning new things about it, but I'm finding this to be a excellent camera for the price.

    I bought this camera because it had the most features for the price and I am also a loyal Cannon Fan. Their Products always seem to work seamlessly with my apple products.

    Perfect camera for me. Auto functions are great with freedom to learn and progress to my own selections. Zoom is tricky at first but getting better shots with practice.

    Low level Canon but the wireless feature is why you buy it. Can’t transfer videos over 20 seconds to your phone though. Waiting to hear from Canon to see if there’s a fix.

    Whether zooming in on the moon or taking close shots of detailed items, to normal everyday use, this camera has proven to be easy to use and versatile. For its price range, it's a great camera.

    There cannot possibly be a better camera for the money out there. I can take clear pictures of the moon as well as anything closer obviously. Thanks Best Buy.

    Good beater camera for trips with kids

    After choosing between this and another brand's similar camera I ended up getting this camera for a trip to France because the price was right and I wanted something better than my phone that was cheap enough I could toss it in my purse and let my 9 year old use. It's very lightweight. It takes decent photos. In the right conditions the photos are much better than a phone. In hurried and bright light or low light conditions they're about equal to a phone. I haven't had time to read the manual and really play with the settings (or try wifi upload), but if you need this camera for hobbies (like putting pics up on a website for your small business) it is probably great. It takes fine pics in museums and natural light settings. Battery life was very good. But there are some drawbacks. The main drawback is the viewfinder. There isn't one. You have to use the digital display. That almost made me buy the other brand but that brand had lens error problems so I went with Canon. And unfortunately, reviewers who said you can't see the viewfinder in bright light are correct. It's not completely opaque but you can't see well enough to know to make ANY adjustments to the settings. You will be able to see just enough to know what you're framing and that's it. Forget composing with light, focus, etc. If this camera had a real viewfinder I'd give it five stars. Another drawback (and maybe I'll figure out how to fix this when I read the manual) is that even when the flash is off, a little light shines onto your subject. NOT COOL in the Louvre. So, I used my finger over the light to avoid being the doofus shining lights on the priceless works of art. And lastly, the battery life is great BUT when low battery does start flashing you don't have much time left. I wish it would flash sooner so I could get through the day and then charge. As it was the battery warning came on and then the camera crapped out within hours. (In case you are wondering, yes the batter charger can handle voltage in Europe--you just need an adapter, not a converter). It's not a great camera, and NOT comparable to a DSLR. But it's fun and easy to use and I'm satisfied with what I got for the price. It is a great camera for kids 8 and up.

    Great camera and pictures along with video...BUT...the lack of a view finder leaves you having difficulty in outside settings if it is sunny.

    If you're testing out the waters on the DSLR photography front, this is quite an affordable entry point, you can trust in Canon!
