I am a birder, and I wanted a handy camera to take picture of birds that that will yield a picture good enough to "prove" that I saw a particular bird. It is so nice not to be chained to a heavy tripod and a heavy birding scope in order to photograph birds.
My pictures don't match the best pictures made by serious bird photographers with expensive outfits with long telephoto lens and converters, but it gives me surprisingly sharp pictures.
The only criticism I have is one that I have read in other reviews. The camera has a "wheel" to select a feature that has to do with ISO or sensitivity to light, or in SCENE mode to pick what type of picture (fireworks, sunsets, etc) that you might want to use. It can be frustrating to get to the feature you want to use.
The second frustration is the way you call up a picture you've taken by pressing a button "way over in right field." I do like the ease with which you can take movies.

This is a great camera for people who want an easily portable camera that is FAST and takes great pictures out of the box (but has some versatility for those who want to be able to do more).
The long version:
I'm a decidedly novice photographer, although it is something of a running joke in my family about just how many photos I take. I was looking to replace my previous digital camera, which took great pictures of stationary objects but wasn't fast enough to catch the shot I wanted if the subject wasn't holding still-- e.g. kids at play. I've now had this camera for a month and taken approximately 450 photos in various conditions. Some things I've noticed:
1) Battery life: not great, but frankly better than I expected. I'm on the third set of disposable batteries; the set that came with the camera lasted about 100 photos, and I switched out the second set a couple days ago before leaving on a trip-- they weren't "dead" but I figured they were close to the end of their usefulness. Partially charged batteries are most noticable when using the flash, when they can really delay getting that next shot. And it is GREAT to be able to use AA batteries.
2) Red eye: Wow!!! What a dramatic improvement from my old A95! Yes, I still occasionally have to correct red-eye, but far less often. I do have the built in red-eye reduction set to "on"
3) Speed: again, WOW!!! There is virtually no shutter lag-- I press the button, and get the picture I wanted. Ok, I've also learned to partially depress the button to focus the camera and wait for the shot I want-- but even when my subject is in motion and I don't want to pre-focus I can virtually always catch the moment I meant to catch. Assuming I either have fresh batteries or am not using the flash, I can take the next photo just a few heartbeats later-- and I understand that there is a "burst mode" I haven't used which takes 2 photos a second until terminated or out of memory.
4) Ergonomics: There are smaller cameras out there, but this will fit if awkwardly in my pants pocket. It is significantly lighter weight than my old camera. Controls are logical and easy to use; they don't get bumped accidentally but aren't hard to adjust on purpose.
5) Settings: There are a multitude of pre-determined settings on this camera; I've just scratched the surface and have been impressed so far. This lets those of us with skills best described as "push here dummy" get better shots under special circumstances-- on the beach, snow scenes, indoor shots, objects in motion. The manual settings are wasted on me, but I understand they are there, too.
6) Zoom: the 4x optical zoom means is more than you'll find most anywhere else (with a few notible exceptions). This camera also has a on-screen icon that will blink at you if there is camera motion that might compromize your shot. I have noticed that I just plain can't hold the camera still enough at maximal zoom to avoid having this warning flash at me. I haven't noticed that snapshot quality was affected, but I suspect that if you blew it up to 8x10 (or perhaps larger) that you might notice it. It does make me wonder if a 3x zoom would have been adequate for my needs, since the odds of me hauling around and using a tripod are virtually nil. I have the digital zoom turned off on the camera; I figure I can crop if I want to after the fact but am starting with a maximal resolution.
7) Memory: get another card. Period. I have a 1 GB card that I've never come close to filling despite setting photoquality at maximum resolution, but I download frequently and haven't used burst mode or video.
8) Photo quality: Great! I can see the individual water drops glisten in mid-air in the shots of my son splashing my husband, colors are rich and accurate. Some shots, especially if I'm using the "kidsnpets" setting, are a little "soft"-- not quite crisp images, but I only notice this when I really blow the image up on my computer screen and I doubt I'd appreciate it otherwise. I think if you are ordering an 8x10 or smaller you wouldn't recognize it at all.
The one thing I liked better about my old canon A95: The rotating LCD display, which was also a bit more visible in bright light (possibly because I could adjust the angle)
- Auto mode photos are decent; nothing short of or better than other point and shoots.
- The zoom clearly works. I've always had cams with less than 4x optical zoom before, so this one does show the stark difference. I have been able to click good photos of mountains that are anywhere between 10-30 miles from the point of clicking, while zooming on objects close by shows amazing details of the objects which I have not been able to capture with other lower optical zoom cams.
- Focusing is good. With my previous cameras, I've had a 30% rate of good photos vs. bad ones. With this one I think the number must be above 75%.
- Other shooting modes are excellent. For example, none of the photos I've taken in sepia mode are below average. Surprisingly though the camera lacks the color accent and color swap modes seen on other Powershots.
- Battery life is average. But with spare rechargeable batteries (i.e. a total of 2+2=4), clicking up to 300 photos should be possible.
- Flash is where the only problem I've found yet it. It feels very slow to recharge, and thus taking multiple pics in succession in a short time is difficult.
I'm yet to explore more, and maybe I'll update this once I have done so.
My review is based on comparison to the CANON S2 IS;
Pros:
Good night images.
Image stabilization is good.
Flash is very good.
Zoom amazing.
Moving object photography is good.
Overall image quality is good.
Cons.
Bulky.
The camera lens cap is not attached...very bad. Therefore can get lost easily.
Seems to be pretty rugged. My son dropped it when he was getting into the minivan, from a height of about 3ft onto asphalt, got a little scratch on the case, but otherwise works fine.
The biggest complaint I have is that the flash recharge seems really slow.
When I first purchased the camera I was absolutely ecstatic. I'd heard such raved reviews about the A610 which had recently retired from retail shelves. I got it home and discovered that well, maybe I wasn't so hot a photographer after all. I avoided it for about 6 months before it made itself into the purse after all.
I had the same problem everyone else seemed to have with taking photos indoors. It didn't compare to my 3.2MP HP Photosmart 735. I didn't expect the world but comparable indoor shots to an outdated point and shoot were kind of on my list of great expectations. I actually found out I can shoot video in a scene I can't take a photo in and the video look perfectly fine. It's a better camcorder than a camera sometimes, if it wasn't for the pesky memory limit. And the software freezes upon completion of upload every time.
With the help of imaging software I have come to actually love this camera. I don't mind airbrushing or touching up the color and light settings later on...that's what I do for a living and what I love. It's a workable lighter camera for the professional but I would not advise it for the everyday consumer.
Somewhere in the past month the camera has become severely damaged physically. It went on this crazy trip through the City Museum in Saint Louis (think giant metal playground) and I don't know exactly what happens but on my way home I realized that it was dented badly. I can only imagine what kind of a blow it took. It still works just the same however and functionally I never would have noticed. All of the pictures survived the ordeal.
I am hoping to upgrade in the near future, being that mine now looks like a car wreck, and of course technology progresses. I will still probably look to Canon. This hasn't turned me completely off. Everything has to have it's downers and it's just unfortunate this one has such a huge curve to overcome. I've taken roughly 5,500 images/video with this camera and don't plan on completely setting it out to pasture in it's older age. I'm sure it will accompany me to more "dangerous" places to keep the new guy safe at home.
Having the memory card located with the batteries certainly saves in manufacturing cost (only a single door) but when I remove the card, sometimes the batteries also fall out, but this isn't really a serious issue - I just have to be careful.
I do wish that this camera had a wider angle lens (maybe 24 mm equivalent in 35 mm camera terms) since there are times I want effects that these wide angle lenses produce. Of course I knew that the camera did not do this when I bought it and many casual users would probably not miss this feature unless they previously had a camera that a lens of this type.
In summary, given this camera's price point, it's an excellent value.
Everything else is all upside. I used it the other day at my daughters soccer game. I sat mid field and took clear close up pics of her in net. Obviously not a regulation size field. 6 yr olds size field.
The movies have been hit or miss on clarity. It is probably a user error as we are still getting to know the camera.
While it is bigger than our previous Canon SD590 it isn't too big. It fit in the pocket of my shorts. I look forward to understanding the manual controls. Also, the playback features are much improved over our previous Canon.
No plans to use the SW as we use Picasa.
It ia a bit complicated to use but doable.
I managed to get some very clear / sharp images by using the different settings provided, (David Bailey I aint), and downloading the images to a PC couldn't be simpler, you just plug the supplied USB cable into the camera and the computer, and, with the computer running, turn on the camera and all the pictures on the camera that have not you been saved are downloaded for you.
Altogether a very good package for the price
Picture quality is very good as expected from Canon the camera is very light and comfortable for general use - the body has a slight plastic feel the weight is all in the lens.
The Canon Powershot is great value general snapshot camera with a very impressive zoom-even with the digital zoom on top (15x), pictures were very clear - no camera shake.
The thing I love most is the zoom. My previous camera only had a 4x zoom so the SX100 gives me 2.5 times that. While the image stabilizing helps, if your going to take several pictures at full zoom, you might want to have a tripod or some other stable surface for the camera to rest on. I was difficult to get a great hand-held clear shot at full zoom.
I have been very happy with the 8MP imaging as well. While it would be nice to have an optical viewfinder, the LCD screen is large and crisp and makes looking at your recent shots a lot of fun! I haven't checked it out with the sun to my back yet so I can't comment on how the LCD looks in bright light.
Like most modern compact cameras, the SX100's Achille's heel is the recharge time before you can snap another flash picture, though it really hasn't been a problem so far.
Over all I am very pleased with the performance of the camera and would definitely recommend it!
Used correctly, this camera does a great job of taking good quality images. I had to play with the camera for about 15-20 mins to get familiar with it so I could take the best pictures possible. My sister owned a Powershot A530 before this one and i had the same experience with that too.
This camera fits nicely in your jeans pocket and is quite light.
You will need a tripod to take good low-light shots. I have a cat and a rabbit and a 3 yr old nephew - The kids and pets setting really works well to take pictures of them. Generally the few manual settings it does have are good enough for a serious amateur photographer.
One gripe I do have is that with regular AA alkaline batteries the flash recycle time can go up to 8 seconds and the camera is blank and unusable during this time. This of course is a problem with most canon Powershots. The solution I have found is to use batteries made specifically for taking pictures (Duracell makes some) or just use rechargeable NiMH batteries. This works great. Almost down to 1 sec between shots with that.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this camera to anyone. But you have to be a little patient and get used to it first - I think this is true for any good camera out there though.
Having recently lost faith in Sony compacts I thought it was time to give Canon a go. I have always been a fan of Canon - I have a collection of old SLR's and film compacts - and have one of their DSLRs for more professional shots.
Neither myself or my mum have been disappointed with this camera, it has a sturdy build with a quality feel to the finish, good clear screen, beautiful true colours.
I don't know why I ever bought Sonys, I won't be going back. This little camera is an excellant buy.
Best buy for photography beginners, and a compact camera for the whole family :)
Pros: Great camera, non-understandable low price, manual mode works like a charm - white balance, focus, colors, exposure... nice photos all in all.
Cons: if it counts, not an ultra-compact camera, it's big for majority of pockets.

Needs case
We purchased it as a spare, next to our digital SLR. It is not designed for award winning photography, but for instant snap shots. It does what is says on the tin. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the images and of the video function.
The only downside is that it is quite bulky and although it will fit into a jeans pocket, this would not be too comfortable. Fits perfectly into a decent sized handbag though.
The pictures that I took of a water ski show also turned out very good and may become part of the promotional photos for the future.
The numerous direct-control features on this camera were also a welcome change from the command menu layers one normally will have to content with on most equipment of this type.
But many of the controls and menu items are quite confusing, requiring extensive reading of the manual. In other words, they require a good deal of preparation. They are not naturally logical.
Even so, this is a most capable camera and well worth the price.
Certainly the camera does all that it was wanted of it and there remain many features for me to explore.
I cannot criticise the images and the camera's capability exceeds my present competence. Image review using a HD tele is simplicity itself and is wirelessly controlled using the supplied remote.
The HD video is a delight and can be viewed directly on a HD tele. I bought the additional cable from a UK manufacturer at a fraction of the cost of the Canon branded version.
The final decider was the detail contained in the manual and the fact that a copy can be downloaded before purchase.
I'm well satisfied.
I bought this camera for my wife because it has an "easy" setting. The easy setting is the ideal point and shoot that eliminates the need to set any options and is therefore well suited to anyone who just wants to take pictures. I also bought a 4G SDHC card which allows almost 2K pictures at the highest resolution. My wife is delighted with the camera and has shot a couple of hundred pictures, all on the easy setting (the one with the little red heart). Because of the 8mp resolution I am able to edit and crop the pictures without losing detail. I have played with the camera just enough to learn that the advanced features are very comparable to some of my larger and much more expensives cameras. It won't replace a SLR but it has become our main travel camera because of its small size, it is simple enough to keep my wife happy and complex enough to keep me happy. We have owned these cameras for several months, taken over 1,000 pictures and they have held up very well.
At the current selling price of these cameras they are a great bargain.
P.S. I did have a minor problem with one of the cameras that required a return to the Canon service center. I realize that stuff happens and I wasn't thrilled about having to mail the camera to Canon but their customer service person couldn't have been nicer or more helpful and I had my camera back in a just a few days. All in all not a bad experience.
perfect focus up to 3ft. Beyond that even at zoom, every thing is blurry. THis is one of the worst cameras I ever purchased.
We had an old A420 the was great...were hoping for the same at least. This is actualy worse...how can that be posible?
