Great Camera
This is a great point and shoot camera with that extra zoom that makes it more versatile than most point and shoots. Cannon products have been pretty reliable for me so far.
Price Warning
I bought this camera in January and am very happy with it. I wasn't into photography before but I had to take a still photo class and this was perfect for what I needed. I don't think it's professional quality but it is definitely a step up from any point-and-shoot I've ever used before. I do agree with other reviews that state it has a lot of "noise" at high ISOs but it's still better compared to what I've seen on my older Fuji and Samsung digital cameras.
HOWEVER, I bought this from Amazon in January for $225. I have no idea why it is now almost $700! This is not worth that much money. Please check your prices before you decide to buy this camera! You could probably get one with more megapixels and/or longer zoom for half ... Read More
Fantastic camera!
I've had some cheap, not-so-great cameras in the past, then when I decided I really needed a quality product I bought this one. I couldn't be more pleased! The picture quality is really astounding. Even the video quality is beyond my expectations. There's so many settings it's almost overwhelming! But after reading the manual back and forth I finally understood all the amazing features (mostly, haha). My Dad has this camera too and he's not the technical type person to read manuals or change settings, so even he is able to take great pictures on auto mode.
The only con is that the batteries get sucked up like you wouldn't believe. But I recently ordered the Canon ACK-800 AC Adapter, which should charge the camera to avoid that.

Great Camera
A nice performing camera with a good zoom range. Could go a little wider, but the long end is great. Image quality is good.
If it were my primary camera, I would miss an optical viewfinder, but I'm mostly using this on a gigapan mount, and it does a nice job for that.
GOOD CAMERA-GOOD PRICE
Canon does it again with a superb piece of equipment. I purchased this model because of it's use of AA batteries. Some of us photography enthusiasts still like replaceable batteries instead of the internal rechargeable ones. Photo quality is excellent. Its "smart" processor is one of a kind. Pop up flash also gives more direct control over the flash unit. The only drawback for me is the lack of a wider angle lens for close up group shots.
