    This camera is efficient and takes quality pictures. However I was very disappointed with Best Buy for having such a small presence of digital cameras available in their stores. Not much to choose from.

    I purchased this camera, not knowing much about it. The zoom is great. However, it is not very user friendly. It is difficult to navigate through the different features. It takes very good pictures.

    I bought this camera for my daughter as a Christmas present. It does just what she needs. Fast uploading * videos and much more. Good for beginners, people who want to do short videos/movies.

    Pics are much better than a phone cam, but have to carry this in addition. Otherwise its great and takes really nice pics for the price. Wish there was a cable included to upload to computer.

    Great camera for the price and quality. A better picture than the Powershot 360HS which i previously returned to get this camera just for an extra $20 more. I always get the warranty to be on the safe side with all electronics.

    I previously had a Cannon Sureshot that I loved but finally quit working. I wanted something similar to the Sureshot and found the cannon PowerShot. So far I like this product.

    My seven-year-old camera died and I needed an easy operating replacement. This one was middle of the road both in price and ease of operation. I am completely satisfied with the printed photos and would recommend this camera.

    Wanted a pocket sized camera w/ blue tooth and lots of mega pixels. This camera was perfect and was even on sale. I was very pleased w/ the picture quality and the salesman was very helpful!

    I wish I would have known before I walked out of the store to buy a larger card for the camera. I ran out of space close to end of trip and had to buy another card at a much higher price.

    Got this for when I didn't want to carry my larger camera. Works great. Manual pop up flash might get in your way if you like to have your left fingers on top of the camera.

    Like the size of this camera, and still has 20x Optical Zoom. More than enough for most uses, and is easy to carry when traveling and sight seeing. I also bought the Cannon branded leather case, which is also fantastic.
