    This camera is excellent for beginner as well as experience person. I took great pictures with video footage. The download was plug and go. The wireless download was a bit complicated. Excellent digital camera.

    I wanted a point and shoot with easy functionality especially re exposure and color correction. This camera is absolutely great for my needs. Really easy compared to a Sony that was much higher priced.

    Took this camera on a trip to Montana, and could easily and clearly snap photos of mountain goats that were 100+ yards away. Purchase this camera for all your goat photo needs.

    This camera works great! It takes great pictures and zooms in and takes clearer photos than most larger cameras I've tried. I highly recommend it. You can also send the pics to your phone or computer!

    This is a good camera for beginners like me. Although it does not have a date stamp, pictures are clear even in low lighted areas. Would highly recommend.

    I did some research on a point-and-shoot camera with a long zoom. I finally settled on this Canon camera and I haven't been disappointed. It takes great pictures and the price at Best Buy was excellent.

    I am enjoying this camera but cannot get the camera to connect with my iPhone. It has been frustrating since this is one of the main reasons I purchased this model.

    Didn't want to walk with my 6D so I purchased this for my first trip to NY in Aug. I was blown away when I zoomed in to the Statue of Liberty from the Empire State. Amazing shot. Pictures are really sharpe.

    I've owned quite a few point and shoot cameras. This is by far the worst. Had a cannon a few years back that I loved so much I bought it 3 times. This one has a lot of issues with light reflecting off the lens and interfering with photo quality. Also, the flash just didn't work for my indoor shots(took it caving). I mostly do outdoor photography. The zoom is good, but quite blurry and shaky. Overall disappointed and will return ASAP. Just hoping I don't get a runaround with the in-store return. Also, the online purchase was great. The spare battery would not work in this camera. The camera states only cannon brand battery is compatible.

    This is a great camera. I purchased this camera for concerts. Most concerts don't let you take in big cameras, so I purchased this one. I have been very pleased with this camera. It has a great zoom.

    I have always had problems to not shake the camera when snapping the picture. This camera is so fast I get perfect pictures with the first snap of the button, whether up close or far away.

    With the confines of baggage on air travel, this camera makes much more sense than my SLR with multi lenses. Pictures were great and complete ease of use.

    Easy to use. I use this camera for home inspections. It has a very good zoom function that helps me to see items I can't access easily. Great focus and pictures even when zoomed in for close ups.

    Bought this for my dad recently. Great camera and he's very happy with it. Only complaint is that there seems to be an issue with it not recognizing the memory card and on initial setup there was a problem where it wouldn't allow us to format the card.

    We wanted a camera that would take pictures in their true colors. This one does it pretty well. We don't like the way the battery is installed since it has a small piece of plastic to move and we're concerned it will snap off some time.

    Camera specs are very good. It has a good zoom and the quality of the pictures are great. Only disappointment is that it is missing the panorama feature, but this features seems to be gone from the compact cameras from Canon now.
