It's easy to be mislead by the marketing hype and glowing reviews, as I was, that this is a high-end general purpose pocket-sized 12 megapixel camera that takes stunning photographs and just happens to also be waterproof. But after evaluating the camera - and very nearly returning it in disappointment - I just want to caution others that this isn't the case.This is a specialty camera for taking passable snapshots underwater and under inclement conditions. Significant concessions in image quality were made to "ruggedize" the camera, and these are apparent even under ideal conditions. This is true of all cameras of this type to date, and this camera is no exception. Shadow and background areas are suffused with noise pixels. Focus is soft, especially in low light. Chromatic aberration (colored fringes) is/are easily visible in areas of high contrast, even when images are reduced in size. Unless your standards are fairly low, I doubt you can get prints larger than 8x10 from the images the camera takes, under ideal outdoor daylight conditions. For pictures taken indoors, there's so much noise, even using the flash, that 5x7 is probably the limit.If you're content to use the camera for what it's made for, it's a lot of fun. It works in the rain. It works under the lawn sprinkler. It works in the pool. It works at the beach. You can prop it up or set it down on wet or snowy or muddy surfaces to stabilize a shot, and just rinse it off later. It can sit in the puddle at the bottom of your kayak between shots. It's certainly adequate for uploading proof of your adventurous nature to Facebook. It has a very nice feature set, although it can be hard to figure out what some things are for, and hard to remember where some settings are located. It takes surprisingly nice video for a pocket-size camera, with zoom available while recording (the sound is mono though.) I actually like that the camera is fairly large - pants pocket size, not shirt pocket size - well suited to large hands, or gloves. It feels very solid. (The strange grip on the left is weird though. I couldn't possibly hold the camera the way the manual shows, but I make do.)If you also want to take tack-sharp pictures, especially indoors, or make big enlargements, or be able to crop the pictures down a lot later, you're going to need a second camera for that. If you don't want two cameras, you need to decide what you want more, and how often you'll benefit from a waterproof camera. If rainproof is all you really need, you might be better off making strategic use of a ziplock bag. (Cut a hole in one side for your hands, and point the camera toward the zipper opening, like a poncho.)If you truly need a rugged waterproof camera, this is a very nice option. If waterproof is just a "sounds-nice-to-have" for you, the image quality may be a big disappointment.

What an amazing product. I don't think you can break this thing. It just keeps going and going and going. It takes clearer pictures than things far newer and more expensive.

My favorite feature of this camera is the zoom. It zooms past the 16x ( takes a few seconds to focus once you zoom further out) to get better pictures of further away objects. I took a picture of the moon with the zoom all the way out and got incredible shots. You can see all the craters and the glow on the moon. Truly beautiful pictures for being an ordinary camera. I recommend this camera to everyone!!!!

My last camera was a Canon PowerShot A720IS and it did me well for 3 years. Actually each time I have upgraded over the years I always benefiting from some real technological advances which made my photography more fun. That was until I bought this awful camera!
I am actually surprised so many people have reviewed it so positively so I wonder if I was just unlucky but as I had a comparison I can only say I was deeply shocked at just how badly it performed compared to my A720IS (which was bought for a similar price).
It is one thing to lose the viewfinder - I knew and accepted that when I bought it - but this camera struggles on SO many levels. Here are the ones I found most frustrating:
- It takes an age to charge the flash even when using NEW premium Lithium AA batteries (unlike the A720IS the flash was never ready - you always get this delay first use);
- Worse still when on fully AUTOMATIC settings it often struggles to focus when taking pictures of CDs on my bed for my eBay listings (something I did frequently with ease using the A720IS and all previous cameras I owned). Further more when out and about I find it in general does not focus as well - so often you have to press the shutter for a 2nd or 3rd time to get the object you want crystal clear;
- Furthermore it so often wrongly indicates a flash is not required on low light situations when so clearly you need it. Often this is most apparent when you are photographing an object or something with a lot of white in it/pale in colour (again never an issue with the A720IS).
All of the scenarios I encountered made it impossible for me to keep this camera so I re-sold it at a loss. I honestly feel I wasted my money here with this model. I am not saying all Canon's are bad as I have for years respected the brand. But this model killed my creative spirit and made me very unhappy as it just did not perform well enough for a £100+ camera. If it had been £50 I may have overlooked these failings but NOT at the price I paid!
On a happier note I have since bought a Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera (18-55mm VR Lens Kit) and you know something I feel like I have died and gone to heaven. As much as I still have a need for a pocket automatic once you get you first SLR my god you never look back. Some of the amazing shots I have taken with this baby coupled with the speed and performance just blows me away each time I take it out.
That's my point really photography is about being creative and enjoying the whole experience so it should never have these limitations which hold you back from focusing on why you are trying to take a photo in the first place. Bad job Canon - you can do better than the SX150!

My decision to the get the G15 was based on research in different web sites. After two months using this camera, I can say it is indeed an excellent mix of professional and point & shoot features! My aim was to have a camera for family events, vacations, etc, but also for my field and lab work as a botanist. I have a D-SRL Canon EOS 50D for use in the lab, which I do not want to bring in my field trips (weight, security). The G15 is compact (but not too small) and delivers very fast and good quality images, even in not so good lighting conditions in the field. Not to mention that the macro mode is amazing for a compact camera lens.I probably missed the small print, but I would have wanted to know before purchase that the camera comes without a memory card. Also, I recommend you buy a filter adapter and some filters for protection. There is no rigid lens cap! The camera screen is very delicate, but a screen protector 3x Canon PowerShot G15 Digital Camera Premium Clear LCD Screen Protector Cover Guard Shield Film Kits. Exact fit, no cutting. (3 pieces by GUARMOR) and a camera bag is working fine for me. I got the Case Logic Camera Case TBC-403 which fits perfectly. Case Logic Medium Camera Case TBC-403.

This camera met or exceeded my expectations. I chose it because I had an older Canon Power Shot that I really liked AND because this camera uses two AA batteries. Also, the batteries last a very long time. It is pocket sized, not bulky, and can easily fit into any purse. I recommend this camera for anyone: those who just want to take pictures for a pastime or for the real camera buffs who don't want to tote their larger cameras to sporting events, etc. It is simple to operate and has a large 3-inch view screen. The pictures are great.

I bought this "like new" camera because I had owned one of the same model for five years and really liked it. I was buying this one for my cousin and couldn't find a current model with similar reviews. The camera worked as expected and I have sent it off to my cousin.

Camera not bad. HOWEVER, if you try to get the full PDF manual for this, don't attempt it. When you go to the Cannon site, it downloads a zip file that will then load additional programs on your computer that you did not request. I spent an hour clenaing my computer up from this programs.Then I called Tech Support to get just the PDF manual. They now wanted access to my computer via LogMeIn. This I refused to allow. Then I was told to contact Cannon Tech Support, who I thought I was already dealing with, but no the number for Cannon Tech support was a subcontractor. Then told it would cost me $80 an hour for this.Then told to dial another number 800-828-4040, after holding for an hour, I gave up.I guess I'll either have to return this gift due to the simple fact that I cannot get a manual for it!!!!Q!Stay away from this company

It gets a photo quality coupled with easiness of use, I match my freinds DSLR and may be take much less time to take shots even on auto mode.Manual mode is there and very handy with the color balance option. if I get a big external flash this camera will be all that I need.Anyone go for it and don't waste your time with DSLRs if you are not dedicated to it.

I am not a photographer, but even an inexperienced user like me was able to take wonderful pictures with this camera. We bought it for a long trip to Alaska and it did not disappoint us. We have over 1000 beautiful clear pictures to remember our trip with thanks to this camera.

I first noticed this camera in Sam's Club for $149.00. I looked it up on Amazon and it was available for a lot less. I read the reviews and determined it was the camera for me. I needed to replace my 3 megapix Olympic camera which I've had for many years and for which I paid over $200.00. This one has 16 megapix and a 16X optical zoom. It uses two AA batteries as opposed to the successor the SX-170 which uses a custom rechargeable battery. It also serves as a camcorder with stereo audio inputs(I needed to replace my obsolete camcorder as well). I've only had it a month but plan to use it extensively this summer. The test pictures I took came out great. I'd recommend it to anybody who needs a new camera.

There are many reviews for this product already, so I will stick with my main complaint, which is battery life. I only wish to use electronic devices that are compatible with rechargeable batteries. This Canon does not even register rechargeables! The message is "Change the batteries." Even when using extra fresh, package-just-opened-expiration-date-2017 name brand batteries, the camera only registers at LOW BATTERY. I get maybe 3 pics and then it powers off, and using the ZOOM feature uses such a ridiculous amount of power that it alone will power off the cam. In between shots, I have to turn off the camera altogether in order for the cam have any power for the next shot. Ridiculous.

'Can't remember when I purchased this camera, but it has given excellent service for a few years . . . literally hundreds of video clips and thousands of still pictures. I carry it with me to the work site (I'm building a rather large house, and keep a continuing record of the progress), and have it handy in my briefcase in most of my travels. I have stayed with Canon for decades, and consider them the best available, from these small portable cameras, to the very large semi-professional video cameras, almost always buying the "bleeding cutting edge" units, One great Canon feature is the "mechanical optical" stabilization systems employed, that really works without forfeiting pixel count in the process. This camera was a real bargain, and shows no signs of getting old. It's also a great way to copy documents and small labels with the macro feature.

I bought this camera only after a few months I bought the Sony NEX6. I need a small carried around camera, which is available when I need it. The NEX6, is relatively small but still you need a bag to carry it around. To me, the S120 is an amazing little camera that gives you the photos you want under whatever conditions. The DIGIT 6 definitely makes a big difference, and can give you the photos like what you see with your eyes even in evening light and dark indoor without flash. If you really care about high quality photos instead of usable photos, this may not meet your standards. The small sensor on S120 is no compare to my NEX 6's APSC sensor. However, other than the noise level, the S120 provides reliable photos better in every aspect than the NEX6.

First off I am a huge canon fan and collector of cameras. I use a G 12 for my pocket camera, which is pocketable, but this thing grabbed my attention for its size. I ordered this camera hoping to be able to take better pictures in low light than my IPhone, which suffers when the subject is even moving slowly. This camera falls way short for the price. Indoors, it adjusts the ISO way too high for a decent looking picture while in auto. While in P it adjusts the shutter way too slow with a lower ISO. Is it better than my phone? nope. There is a total lack of control to try to accomplish a decent shot in a tough situation. Sorry, but this is where film still is a much more economically viable solution if you know what you are doing and actually care about your shots. To each their own, but to me, film grain looks better than digital noise. I was not looking for the moon, but I was hoping for better pictures out of this camera for the price. Save your money and time by just using your phone for shots that you want to post up quickly and look at other options for cameras you want to use when you care about taking a bad shot. I can tell you though, this camera does not function in lower light levels that most cameras I have used would. The flash is very weak as well. This camera would be saved in my opinion by the ability to select scene modes instead of only having the camera do it for you. It does not though... Hate to say it, but this camera is a gimick and I fell for it. There are better point and shoots that give you more features for actually taking the shot and at a third of the price.

This is the second PowerShot we have owned. the first one was still a great camera, but I wanted a camera with some updated features and a few more available megapixels. This one also has a 16x zoom which is a great thing to have. Oh, and it uses AA batts which are available anywhere. No expensive spare batteries or chargers to carry around. If it goes dead, throw a couple of new batts in it. It has a solid feel, and yes, it takes great pictures. the colors seem natural and balanced, and the exposures seem to be center weighted, with a dose of "fuzzy logic" thrown in. I have to try to trick it into a bad exposure or an autofocus problem. Just point and shoot and you'll be fine. It can be run full auto, or you can use shutter or aperture priority. Dont forget the HD video which is only limited by how big a card you put in it.It does tend to suck batteries, so keep an extra set or two handy. The flash is not automatic on this model, which I didnt like at first. But not having the flash charge every time you turn the camera on definitely makes this one suck batteries less than our old one.I'm very happy with the PowerShot....again.

The pictures I have been taking are somewhat grainy. After I take the pic and see it, the word busy shows up on the bottom most times. I'm sure I have some sort of setting wrong, but just wanted it to take very clear pictures. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong with this. I might have to send back? Any other recommendations for a beautiful picture camera, that is very easy to use? Would so appreciate some feedback.

Now that I have had this camera for about 3 months, I can truthfully say, it is the best camera I ever owned. I have had some cameras that I have taken good pictures with, but never a camera that I get consistently good pictures ever time. For the person that is not a professional, but wants a professional picture, this is the camera for you. I take pictures of the grand-kids birthdays, football games, cheering, soccer, swimming. You name it, if it involves my family, I take pictures. The video with this camera is even better than my dedicated video camera. It took a few weeks for the learning curve on this camera, but worth every minute I spent with it. The G15 takes wonderful pictures out doors, and the indoor shots are better than most. The color reproduction with the flash can get a little off, but with a good photo program, you can compensate for this. Would I recommend this camera to friends, Yes ! and I already have.
