    Needed a camera that has a fast flash in low light. Long delay between flashes. Picture quality is fine.

    Well i like the camera over all easy to take some decent pictures specially for some one who doesn't like taking pictures very much. Is my work camera and i like it so far only thing i kinda bothers me is that the actual handling of the camara feels odd too small or hard to hold for taking odd angle pictures

    It done a good job taking photos in the park on auto. I like that it is so compact it fits in my pocket. It does feel a little slippery when I carry it with the wrist strap. It makes me fell like I am going to loose it or damage it.

    I love this camera! I had problems with my last camera-it didn't always take the picture when I pushed the button. This camera quickly takes each picture, the zoom works really well and most important, the pictures come out sharp and clear.

    Took this camera to Kenya with me, was happy with my purchase. While it may not be the most feature-intensive camera out there, or the have the greatest specs, for the price range I'm pleased with it. While in Africa I got a lot of nice animal photos and videos, and the camera survived camping and the dusty roads. (Please note: we had a power generator available to us for charging things at night; the battery life would not have lasted the whole safari.) The battery life isn't terrible, but definitely grab an extra battery if you plan on using it all day; unfortunately the battery isn't the cheapest. Also, this does NOT come with the camera software in the package. You must download it from Canon's website if you wish to download photos to your computer via wifi or use their photo editing/organizing program.

    This is a nice camera. I still need to learn all about it but I stick with canon so that I don't have to relearn everything when I get a new camera. Sometimes in door shots seem fuzzy and not clear, but I'm not sure if that's just because I need to change the ISO. Very nice pix overall.

    I've traveled around the world recently & needed a small compact camera to pack & this one is absolutely perfect!!! Ex: I was on the Arch de Triumph in Paris & could clearly zoom in to see people standing on the Eiffel tower(about 1.4 miles away!!!) I was so excited to show everyone the cool effects & styles of pictures it could take. It captured everything beautifully!

    I like the pictures I get from this camera, I really like the focus feature on it. But it is a little more advanced than I thought, I'm having trouble with using, controlling and reviewing the video features. I'd recommend it for someone wants more than a point and shoot.

    Takes good pictures, easy to use. Very similar in basic operation to my Canon G15, which is why I purchased it. This camera is point and shoot and has some more advanced capabilities, but this camera was purchased for basic photography. Has wireless and cable transfer capabilities for transferring pictures to computers. Uses the same cable as my G15. Canon software for picture transfers does not work with Mac OS.

    This camera is very simple to use, and takes very good pictures. The auto-exposure mode does well in all situations and compensates for bright spots, shadows (backlighting), etc. The main feature that influences this purchase was the extended optical zoom. I try to avoid using the digital zoom as that does nothing that you can't do later with any basic photo editing software. I would purchase this again, and I did as a gift for my sons honeymoon to Italy!

    The camera takes pretty good pictures but getting the WiFi to work took quite a bit of time to hook up with my computer (instructions could have been clearer).
