Cons: you need to wait for longer time than you expect between two shots for a canon product. However, you can choose the triple shots in one time.




I bought this camera to use in graduate school (industrial design). I needed it to do research for my thesis. I figured between that, all the product photographs, and the need good portfolio pieces, spending the 500.00 on an 8mp camera would be well worth the investment. I was wrong.
About a month after I bought the camera, it started to malfunction. The lens got stuck and would not come out. Neither would it go all the way back in, so the lens cover would not close (not only putting the lens in danger, but draining the battery as well.) It was still under warranty, so I sent it to the Canon Service Center in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It was received, and I was informed that my camera would be returned in 7-10 business days. That was almost a month and a half ago.
I have put my thesis research on hold because I do not have the proper camera for it. Every time I call the service center, I am told that the "parts are on back order". Evidently they don't know when these shipments are due in their center, so they don't know when I will have my camera back. The best part is, when I called two weeks ago, they offered me a "brand new" S215. The told me it was a great deal and that I should accept the offer because "they NEVER do THAT" (meaning they never offer a new camera for one in repair.) I pointed out that the S215 was only 5mp, had a smaller screen, and cost nearly 300.00 less than MY camera. I also reminded her that MY camera was brand new when it broke and I had to send it in.
Today I was told that there was no information on my camera, the backordered parts, or when they could send my camera back. The woman on the phone asked me why I didn't accept the S215 that was offered, and when I explained and asked for a camera the same model as mine, she said they were not authorized to do that. I told her that I was going to spend the time originally set aside for my thesis research to write letters to both the service center and Canon Corporate Headquarters, and she suddenly had a technician she could consult, and my camera would be back to me by the end of the week. I won't hold my breath, but a copy of this review will be sent to Canon.
















I've taken tons of pictures already. The zoom is wonderful, as is the picture quality at lower ISOs. I love being able to adjust the aperature, shutter speed, white balance, and colors. It really allows for some creative photos.
It does, however, take me a while to find the best settings manually, and so I und up missing spur of the moment shots. I wish it had a "high sensitivity" setting for quick pictures.
The picture quality at higher ISOs is quite dissapointing, too. But thats standard with non-SLR cameras in this price range. Its probably actually one of the better ones, its just that 'better' still isn't very good.
The ISO button is definately a plus, as is the scrolling wheel. I didn't think that would matter much, but i really like it.
I've heard that the movie quality is dissapointing, but I haven't tried it out yet.
All in all, I really do like the camera. the pictures are amazing. they look very artistic and clean.



Everything worked perfectly. No strange issues. This camera is excellent for people who wants to get near to professional shots without complications but remember: Practice makes one a master.
