    Takes good pictures BUT windows 11 doesn’t seem to like the software. Salesperson assured me it was compatible with all of Windows, but that has not been my experience. Also, this expensive camera doesn’t come with either a memory card or a cord, just a battery. And again, the salesperson told me it came with everything. I And the desirable feature of being able to download pictures wirelessly to a computer only works intermittently and is very slow and wears the battery down quickly. I have been able to use a workaround by removing the memory chip and inserting it into a plug in directly into the computer. All in all not very happy with the usability of the camera.

    LENS ERR 60 - firmware updates do NOT fix!

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

    bought this camera at best buy a couple of months ago. worked well until a couple of days ago, then the lens got stuck and did not retract - lens error 60. ok, premature end to scenic picture taking. back home, computer search, known problem, workaround. tried the workaround 15-20 times, no avail, let camera sit, try workaround again a few times, and.... drum roll..., miraculously one random try actually works. next day, more picture taking, and, ... drum roll, camera craps out again. lens stuck in zoomed position, lens error 60 strikes again. back to trying workaround, trying, trying, giving up, trying, trying, over the course of three hours while hiking in a scenic spot on the sierra eastside (california). hike is almost over and, voila, a random workaround try actually works. today, the third consecutive day in the camera stuck lens saga. climbing at owens river gorge. taking pictures of surroundings on the hike to lower gorge, and, once again, you probably guessed it - LENS ERR 60 - strikes again! back to workaround, and trying, trying, trying,... to no avail (see iphone pic of canon 740 on hike back out). back home, in depth scouring of internet and 'success' in finding firmware updates. update 1.0.1 fixes the dreaded lens err 60, but wait a second, i'm already running 1.0.1!!! ok, let's update to 1.0.2, the latest firmware version. successful update, but LENS ERR 60 persists.... by now i've literally spent hours trying to fix this problem and lost a lot of great picture opportunities in the process. to be honest, i expect more from a $400 product specifically and canon in general. this camera sucks!

    I bought this camera for my husband's birthday in September. He loves it. I bought this same camera in June 2019 and have really liked it. The easy point-and shoot provides nice photos. It's great to have a zoom and get good up close photos of wildlife from a long distance. People have been amazed at the photos. I would buy again.
