    Fantastic zoom for scenery shots and quick editing features. Photos can be transferred to laptop or phone with simple pairing. I loved it all throughout my trip to Spain.

    The camera is light but powerful, great for traveling. Sometimes it’s nice not to have to lug around a SLR camera and this is the perfect compromise.

    Love the camera! This is the fourth Canon I've purchased from Best Buy, and each one has always been a wonderful camera. the only reason I upgraded is for more pixels.

    So far this has been the best point & shoot I've ever had for low light shots. Battery lasts multiple days of shooting w/o a need to charge. Everything works great.

    great camera, I HAVE A MICRO 4/3 OLMPUS PEN first gen. It was just to big and awkward to carry around. This little Cannon took some fantastic photos even with my shaky hand while zoomed in pretty far. Im impressed.

    I travel through Ireland, Spain, France and Italy and took the greatest shots by just pointing the camera and taken the shot. Easy to use at a reasonable price.

    I got this camera for a great deal on Black Friday. Seems like a pretty decent little camera. It has a fantastic zoom. I took some pics during a full moon and was amazed at all the craters and details it picked up.

    For a point and shoot, this is pretty amazing. Zoom is quite nice. Haven't figured out how to get decent action shots yet (was rated as great for action shots )
