    Can't transfer picture to my iphone which is the BIGGEST let down ! I was traveling aboard and want to share all the pictures with friends and family but I can't ! It suck big time! The app is out dated or this model is out dated ? because it is not supported by the app ? Spend hours try to figure it out final gave up on it !

    I was looking for a video camera that could do live streaming out the HDMI port. The associated said this one would do it. It does not. (The camera itself seemed fine, it just did not do what I wanted it to do.) My "I would not recommend" selection simply reflects that I would not recommend it if you want to do live streaming.

    Everytime I would try to take a picture, the camera was not user friendly. It was very complicated for a first time user. I was not able to enjoy using it and still have not used it.

    I've had my camera for a couple of months and could not be happier. I wanted something small and powerful that would take great pictures indoors as well as outdoors. It also takes great pictures with the zoom.

    This is a great pocketable camera to have with you all day or when you go to concerts. It has a built in WIFI which is awesome and very easy to wirelessly transfer images to an iPhone or tablet. Zooming action is quick and precise; provides very good image quality.

    Nice, simple, and sleek.

    I purchased this solely for one purpose...and that was to do mini vlogs outside during daytime, or in my car on a dash mount. I own two Canon DSLRs already, but I don't always want to lug them around to do simple tasks. I also didn't want to to spend money on a camera like a G7X MKII because I already have the cameras I mentioned above. With that being said, I think this is a neat little camera. It does the job well and the quality isn't bad. Is it like shooting with a DSLR? No, but this does a decent job for simple tasks, plus it's sleek and portable. I recommend this for anyone that wants a nice,simple camera without all of the extra bells and whistles.It is great for people who may not have the best grasp with cameras. Also the picture quality is pretty decent! I would not recommend this to anyone who wants to shoot in low light situations because the quality does get grainy fast, again it is a point and shoot so the sensor is smaller. They do have an upgraded version of this for an extra $30.00. (SX620) I compared the specs side by side and it doesn't really make a big difference on which one you choose. It delivered exactly what I was looking for, and for a decent price so I will give it a 5 stars. Also The battery that comes with it lasts a long time. I have not had to recharge it yet.

    This camera is lightweight, easily portable and takes great photos. Took it on a trip to Italy and got amazing shots that easily uploaded to our iCloud via wifi connection. Recommend for amateur photographers and those that don't want anything too bulky.

    Disappointing

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

    I find the camera awkward at times (the flash, especially) and without the flash the pictures are often blurred. With the flash they are often 'washed out.' Considering the # of pixels this was a major disappointment. The quality to price ratio is poor.

    Takes good pictures, the only problem is if you are in the sun you cannot see the display window. No view finder to look thru

    Love this point-and-shoot camera! Bought it because I am familiar with Canon PowerShot cameras, having owed at least a couple of others over the years. This one is small and lightweight, has wifi, and lives up to its promises as far as performance. Very satisfied.

    I will start with the good. The camera takes great pics and video however mine had some issues. It occasionally will not write to the memory card. I have tried 3 different cards and I still sometimes get this issue. It does not come with a cable to connect. The Canon app will only let you shoot stills and not video.

    Good small camera

    Very small and lightweight-- bought to put in an evening purse. Did well under low light conditions, shooting a play on a stage. Not great for movement under those conditions, but did well on still shots.
