    Great camera for the price

    We did a lot of research before purchasing this camera. We needed something that wasn't quite a Pro camera but took better pictures than our current point-and-shoot. This fits the bill perfectly for us, easy to use and has the features we need. The wifi feature is awesome. We need this camera to take stills with the camera on a tripod. Being able to zoom and press the shutter from an iPhone is fantastic, plus you can transfer the images without wires. Highly recommend this camera.

    Good Camera, but wireless doesn't work

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my second Powershot and the quality of the camera is great. But be warned, the camera does not ship with a cable for downloading your photos. I use the cable from my older model. The wifi feature with the camera is useless. When I first tried to set it up I got messages about Canon's server being down for a few days (!). I tried again today and lost 30+ minutes dealing with this imaginary feature. I love the camera, but make sure you have a cable to download photos. Canon's wireless feature won't work.

    Nice Little Camera

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Picked this camera up for my wife before a trip. It takes great pictures and it's not to big to carry. Got a small carry case as well, and all easily fits into a backpack. Great alternative if you don't want to be restricted to phone pics.

    We bought this camera for my 12 year daughter for Christmas. She wanted to start taking photos of nature and things as a hobby. It is a great camera for a beginner. Lots of different settings. She likes them zoom in and out option.

    This was purchased for an easy to use camera for a group. After playing with it, it hold true to Canon quality. Very easy to use and has some easy, fun features.

    OK camera but far from perfect

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this camera cause i needed a vlogging camera, in sunlight the camera was great but like most cameras, low light was very very poor quality. My GS6 camera takes better video in low light. I recorded a couple videos for my channel in my verry well lighted basement but the quality just wasn't there. in sunlight the camera is great and has a great image stabilizer but if you are planning on taking indoor video or pictures, this camera isn't for you.

    Some excellent features but battery life is bad

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    In many ways this is an excellent camera but it has 2 weaknesses, one that is obvious and one that is not. The camera really needs an electronic viewfinder. I use this for shooting birds and the absences of a view finder makes it harder to use, but that isn't the reason for the lower rating. The real issue is the batter life. The battery life is relatively low and if you use this camera every day, you will probably need to recharge the battery every day. The extra features such as wi-fi become useless without a bit more power. With that caveat I would recommend this camera. Canon does sell and AC adapter and does sell extra batteries, but that adds to the real cost of the camera.

    A little more than a beginner camera

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this camera for a trip. It has performed amazingly and has been very durable so far which is a plus. I'm still having a little trouble learning some of the features but mainly that's because I've never had a Canon. I think I just need to sit down and play with every feature and button. The picture quality has been amazing.
