Great Camera For A Photo Taking Newbie
I brought this camera for my first trip to London this past October. I am not a picture taking person, but I wanted to document my first trip to the United Kingdom. Trust me, I barely knew what I was doing as I didn't do more than skim through the owners manual (a mistake). However, all of my pictures came out wonderfully. I mean they are lead crystal clear. Even blown up on my laptop, they retain their sharpness. I took many shots of London's famous double deck buses while moving to see which ones would be keepers.

Bad Colors
The output is not very good.
I have problems in dark situation. the colors are really bad

blurry photos
you cannot take indoor photos without flash with this camera. the flash makes everything look stupid. pretty frustrating. i sent it into canon and they said it is working fine.
Very good camera
I have been using this camera since July and have taken many great pictures. To get full use of the capabilities reading the manual is extremely helpful. The biggest problem I seem to have is eliminating red eye when taking indoor pictures. Other than that I am very satisfied. The size is perfect.
