Great camera

I love this camera and all pictures I have taken with it. I have had other brands and hands down best camera. I am still learning how and what settings to use, the best one's for different times of light settings. I have wanted a canon for some time, I couldn't afford a DSLR but I am not regretting my choice. I would still like a DSLR, but will definately keep this one. I bought this for our trip to Disney World last year and I can not complain about any of the pictures taken. Night pictures, fireworks, day, indoor, outdoor.
My only complaint and it irritates me everytime I use my camera is when changing my exposure compensation, turning the dial I hit the flash button. It is a pain in the butt. If they could figure out how to put it a different way this camera would be the best camera.
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Complicated controls/menu
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great camera to record your memories and trips

This is one of the best small portable cameras. It gives the user better pictures in quality of color and clarity that what you get on a smart phone. A lot of setting to play and easy to carry everywhere. really nice for casual users. It's not perfect, it's not intended for professional use. if you are looking for a better one, get a nice SLR.
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Missing features/settings, Short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best medium sized pocket camera

from Upstate NY
My wife and I are retired and we travel in a little 4 WD pickup truck camper, with a kayak on the roof, visiting cities, attractions, parks, forests, deserts, coasts, swamps, caves. We are nurses and treat equipment gently but we are out in all kinds of weather, in sometimes harsh conditions, hiking, camping, exploring, paddling . I've taken thousands of wonderful everyday photos with this camera ranging from portraiture to around the campfire to museums and theaters to the grandchildren to the forests and deserts and caves to Mardi Gras at night to dis-assembly documentation to an engineers idea of art. For this type of photography I have found it excellent. It is durable, versatile, forgiving with a superior collection of features appropriate for this purpose. Brava! Bravo!
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, pocket sized
Cons: flash pops up where left fingers grip
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Portable Camera

I use this camera for events where I can not bring my large camera, i.e. concerts and some outdoor activities. With the 20X optical zoom it is easy to get close to the action. If the Megapixels were a little higher it would be more than 5 stars, but for something compact you can't beat it.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, compact size
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic Camera

I got this camera in November of 2013 and am just getting around to writing a review. This camera went on our Alaska Cruise and inland tour to Denali. The pictures for a camera of this size are amazing. I was able to zoom in to sheep on top of mountains from the Denali tour bus. The pictures are of very good quality in all my activities. I have been very happy with this camera.

Excellent Camera

I looked at several models of digital cameras and selected this one based on it's features and compact size. That, and the fact that the sales person said I could bring it back if I didn't like the pictures. So, I've used this camera extensively for about a week and I'm totally impressed. Very high quality photos indoors with low light & no flash, outdoors with bright sun, very high quality telephoto nature shots. I would recommend it to friends without hesitation.
Pros: overall great photos
Cons: none known as yet
I would recommend this to a friend!
