Crisp, marvelous pictures under variety of light conditions. However, disappointed that commands do not work when in Special Scene Mode (SCN).

This is a great camera. The only problems that I have had are human errors. I forget to raise the flash, and while trying to find the red eye correction somehow all of my pictures were lost! If it asks if you want to format the memory card, don't! That is what lost all of my son's prom pictures. It takes great pictures, just read the user manual before using it!

I purchased this camera as a fill in around week two of a five week Euro-trip, and week three was a bit rusty, but by four and five the pictures were coming out well. This is because I found that the camera had a few weaknesses, but once you figure out how to control it, you can get past those pretty easily.
First, this camera does not have an electronic viewfinder. This will only affect you if you like to look through the viewfinder when taking photos instead of at the LCD. If you do, then the pictures will be slightly off center, as the viewfinder is set above the lens and the difference between the views from the two is not corrected electronically. At least I think that's the problem. I just know they're off center.
Secondly, I found that shots taken on Auto came out overexposed--too much light. I've taken to using the Manual setting for virtually every photo I take. By doing that, you can control things like the shutter speed and get shots that are better exposed. It's kind of a pain, especially if you don't want to deal with the technical aspects of photography, but I'm ok with it because it's forced me to be a better photographer in some ways.
Really, most of the problems mentioned in the reviews I've read can be fixed by using the manual controls. You can control the amount of flash emitted from the camera and you can set the shutter speed and ISO to make low light shots a little easier. Also, if you set the camera on something steady and do the two second delay (self-timer function), press the button, and don't touch the camera, it will come out very clear. If you have nowhere to set the camera, I've found success by taking continuous shots. Put it on the continuous mode or whatever it's called, and hold the button down, and it will snap for ages. Then scroll through and pick the least blurry shot out of all of them. It worked quite well for me.
Some good things... It's very good with macro shots and really picks up color quite well. You can boost the color by using the vivid color setting. Kind of nice for some shots. And the flip screen is true genius. Great for aiming those self-portraits, shots from above, and even balancing the camera somewhere if you get desperate. :) I'm also very happy with the way the pictures look when they're printed out. The mega-pixel amount is more than good enough for any amateur use.
All in all, I've been happy with this camera. It takes some getting used to, but if you're willing to work with it, it produces quality results. As you might have gathered though, it may not be the camera for the person who doesn't want to deal with manual settings and the like. It is possible that I'm just really picky, but I think it does under-perform if left to its own devices.

I love the flip-screen, and AA batteries. I've taken 1,000's of pics with this one. Canon is great. I'll only pick Canon cams. I've worked with Canons since 1983.

A great camera for a great price. I love the clear pictures it takes, good color, and the IS feature really gives a sharp image when you don't expect it! Also, the battery life seems to be fine...I am still using the two AA batteries that came with the camera - i was worried by other reviews that I would have to be constantly changing/charging them. The cons of the camera are that it is plastic, and therefore feels a little more fragile and cheaper than the previous Canon I owned. The moving parts/buttons seem a bit flimsy. Also, as noted in other reviews, the lens going in and out is noisy. But overall, I feel I have a great camera for the price I paid!

I can only review my opinion with regard to the seller. The seller shipped the product to us safely and in a timely manner. It was protected in the packaging extremely well and arrived in the best condition. This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my parents (ages 70 & 74). They haven't used the camera yet but we purchased it for ease of handling and simplicity of use. We were able to put it in our hands before purchasing as this particular item was at a local shop. The little bump out handle makes it so nice to hold onto, as opposed to all the new dig. cams that are so flat and skinny and therefore easily dropped. I'm sure my folks will enjoy using this camera instead of all the disposables they were going through.

Absolutely, without doubt, the best compact digital camera I have ever used. Bought it to replace my Sony DSC-N1 and have been amazed at how far these little compacts have come since then! Very, very pleased.

I have never raved about a camera as much as this one. I was going to have the Somy DSC T500 as a replacement of my T30, which was a great camera. I was able to take some of the worst pics ever on the T500 and after 3 days it went back to Amazon for a refund which, as usual, arrived promptly.
This canon is a delight to use and the results are spot on, both with and without flash even my jet black cat looks great. The white balance always seems accurate and so far, have only had to tweak it once in Photoshop. Using the viewfinder is a great boon when shooting rapid exposures as you don't have to wait for the screen to refresh. The battery life is good 120 to 150 pics with the screen on and a lot more if not.
I can't fault this camera

I have been using manual SLR's all my life and was reluctant to go digital. Amazon of course had the best price, but was I ever surprised regarding quality when I began using this camera. It really does have all the functions a fancy SLR does but at a fraction of the cost. For prior Canon EOS users, this is almost an exact replica. You can still manually focus and manipulate shutter speeds and F-stops. The picture quality is UNBELIEVABLE-even better than my fancy Hadsselblad. It's small enough to carry anywhere and easy to use. Memory card is only $14 at Best Buy. The photo manipulatin software that comes with it is great too. You can doctor up any image and make it perfect. You will need an extra flash on the hot shoe if you are shooting from very far away in a dimly lit room but otherwuse the one the camera comes with does the job.

This is my second digital camera and found this camera very easy to operate.The pictures were very clear to see on the preview screen. If this had been my first digital camera I would have found it difficult to find certain operations on the camera, since it did not come supplied with a step by step manual.

Pros:
-The optical zoom is really great for a camera of this size and price
-The battery life is very good - I had initially thought that the battery comsumption would be too high, with only 2 batteries (my previous Canon used 4 batteries)
- Many other more that other reviewers have submitted
Con:
-The only one negative thing is that the optical zoom does not work during the video mode. Only the digital zoom works (which is rather useless). But for a camera of this price and size, I can understand.
Note: Buyers from outside of the USA to note. The warranty that comes with it only works in the USA and Canada. This did not matter to me as the one year warranty was not my priority, as Canon usually can last many years.

I've had nothing but a positive experience with this camera. I haven't quite figured out how to use it totally yet, such as how to take lower resolution images and not use up my memory card, but the images I have taken are excellent quality. The batteries and the memory card share the same input area which makes it a bit of a pain getting the card out. I would have designed it so that the memory card could be inserted in a different more easily accessible slot. But other than that, it's a great camera.

Am I missing something? This camera just jumped about $140 in price. In the past few months I was seeing it for about $149 and now Amazon is showing it at $289.
It's a really good camera, but what's with the price jump? I didn't know that Amazon was into gouging.

Do not buy this camera if you are looking for either a great camera or camcorder, buy it as the best micro image recording device available.
As you will find in other reviews, the camera portion is average. What makes this camera stand out is the fact that it will do 1280 X 720, 30 frames PROGRESSIVE! This is simply amazing since this camera is no larger than a box of cigarettes. It is not perfect though. There are few manual controls, e.g. no shutter rate or ISO control, however you do have control over locking ASE and Focus, as well as white balance. Some reviewers have complained about ergonomics, but a small monopod or makeshift grip that attaches to the tripod mount will do the trick. I personally would have preferred a REC button in front of the camera. If I could also make a couple of wishes, I would also ask for an external 1/8" stereo external microphone connector, as well as LANC control that could be used for zoom, focus, record/pause and stop. Finally, low light levels are very noisy.
There are also concerns about battery power. I have been able to go an hour without a charge. Again, it is suggested to buy an extra battery. If you really need to have this camera running continuously, buy the external power adapter. If you need more remote power, buy one of those extra lithium ion external power packs that has an output of 3.5 volts and retrofit a coaxial plug to fit the external power adapter.
Some reviewers are complaining about Canon using the Motion JPEG file format for video. True it is not the best compression format for making small files, but the quality is better than most MPEG 4 or even MPEG 2 file formats. Plus, you get frame by frame editing. To make up for the poor compression, just buy a larger card.
There are also some questions if this camera can support more than a four gigabyte SD card. Yes, but it will need to be a fast SDHC card. This poses its own problems because it is not backwards compatible with SD card readers so you will not be able to use it with any card reader unless it specifically says it is compatible with SDHC. This is not too great of a problem since the camera uses a standard mini USB female connector and XP, Vista, OS X recognize it without additional software.
In my opinion, this has been my answer to a stealth high definition documentary camera. I will find many uses for this camera in the upcoming months. Look for my documentary "Gamer: The chronicles of Evanor" [...] to be released at the end of the year. It will contain footage from this camera.
I gave it a four out of five stars for not adding an external microphone adapter, LANC control, and a few more manual controls. This would have garnered a perfect score from me. I hope Canon is listening.

The SX100IS is an excellent camera. My fiancé was interested in buying a Canon Digital Rebel but since we have been without a camera for quite some time, we decided to start with something simpler before getting up to speed with a more professional model.
The performance of the SX100IS has been outstanding, excellent image stabilization, even in low light conditions and indoors, the pictures will not be blurry (they may be somewhat dark but not blurry). The fact that the flash will only work when manually lifted up is one of the best assets of the camera! No more need to fight against the annoying pop out flash!
I also need to mention that the camera took a bad fall; it was unintentionally dropped by a close relative. Since I had previously owned a camera that suffered a similar fate and stopped working afterwards, I feared that this camera would suffer the same consequences after the fall. However, to my surprise, the camera kept working with no flaws!
The video quality is very good, with sound, and you can zoom in and zoom out during the recording. The macro works great as well as the manual controls. The camera is flexible enough to use it as a point-and-shoot as well as a professional camera. The zoom is flawless and even at the maximum zoom levels the pictures turn out without blurs! The digital zoom can be turned off therefore minimizing the chances of getting grainy pictures.
I could keep going with a list of good stuff! If there is anything I could criticize is the fact that when you turn the camera on and off the lens makes a slight noise when coming in or out. There is also a slight noise when zooming in or out and I was concerned that would show in the videos, but no, the zoom noise is not apparent.
In summary if you want good optics, great zoom capabilities, flexibility between point-and-shoot and manual features, and an affordable price the SX100IS is for you.

I bought this camera for my daughter who is 10 years old. The camera is sturdy, well designed and simple to use. The digital pictures are of terrific quality and the video is quite impressive. My daughter uses the camera to take pictures and videos of her friends and I help her edit and create special effects for the videos using Vegas Pro 8.
The only thing that I wish this camera had would be a direct connect charger to keep the batteries charged.
In my opinion this is a great camera at a great price.

I needed a better camera for my trip to Panama, especially one that would take decent pictures inside as well as out. This camera was a little intimidating at first as it has lots of functions, but after a little time with my daughter in law, who is a photographer- I found that it is really easy to use for basic picture taking. I learned the basics and will build on that over time. It is a great buy for a great camera.
