What's great about it: Ease of use
What's not so great: Accessing function panel
I was in need of a new camera & have been leaning towards a high end, multi-lens camera but I enjoy taking pictures spur of the moment. My last 3 cameras were Nikons and my experience with them has always been good but they didn't have long term life. I reviewed the Canon products & settled on the Powershot. I haven't been disappointed. I love the fact that it can fit right into my pocket. The picture quality is very good- very sharp! This is a good quality camera for a good price.

What's great about it: Wifi feature, decent pictures
What's not so great: odd controls, plagued with errors and failures
I bought this camera as a gift. At first it worked great. Within a few weeks it started having issues saying the battery was not charged. Then the lens cover jammed half way open and made a terrible scratch on the lens. The camera was useless. I sent it to Canon for repair as it was too late to return it to Best Buy. Canon wanted to charge me almost as much as I paid for the camera just to fix it. Thanks but no thanks. Very very disappointed with this product and Canon in general.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Now what i usually do with reviews is i go through and read the different ones to pick out the pros or cons that would effect me the most. For example on this negative review i would take it with a grain of salt simply because if you buy a camera and it does not work or something is wrong with it take it back this guy would of had to have  to wait over a week to open it up to find it this way. So the problem of getting it this way would be easily fixed and highly unlikely

What's great about it: Picture Quality!
What's not so great: small
This camera replaced an Olympus super zoom SP-610uz.. The pictures are much much better on the new Cannon! This camera is small and requires some getting use to with the pop-up flash location where you would usually put your finger. would recommend seeing one in person before purchasing. But over time will get use to the size and placement of flash pop-up. Also "On/Off" button is close to "picture" button and have accidentally turned off camera instead of taking picture. I am sure I will get better with more use and experience with the camera.

What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: weight, lack of focus, pop up flash
I regret being talked into this phone. It is heavy from one hand use. You must keep you fingers away from the pop up flash which is in an inconvenient spot. The wait time after you actually snap the photo until you can take another is too long. The photos are always blurry and out of focus. The pop up flash is a time waster and ridiculous to use
You can't take a photo on the fly because it takes too long to focus. Nothing like a film based camera. It's awful and pricey.
