Good resolution, easy use. We especially loved the fact that it has a cable to the TV and we could watch the sightseeing pictures with the whole family.
You'll have to buy a memory card though because the one which comes with the camera isn't enough.



Its color and whiteness balance are beautiful right out of the box. The controls are extremely easy to use for experienced photographers though the manual is needed if you are new to this technology. Be patient with the manual-it's not the best one but if you take your time it all comes together.
I found most pictures shot MUCH better with slight tweaking of the aperature and ISO rather than the flash which tends to make the pictures way too contrasty for my liking.
Contrary to other writeups Ive seen, the flash can be shut off. The camera is extremely comfortable and lightweight though this is not a mini camera for those looking for that kind of body. The zoom is great but too short on focal length (only 114mm).
The camera shoots and writes to memory quickly and I purchased a fast 1gb card-something you will defintely need for a trip. The cover for the USB and other electrical hookups is an absolute piece of garbage. How Canon puts that on an otherwise excellent piece of equipment is beyond anyones imagination.
The other great feature I specifically looked for is a bright LCD that is movable so you can shoot very low or very high angles. Not only does it swivel but when finished shooting, the screen can be turned INTO the camera, protecting it from those nasty scratches you get when carrying it around.
All in all- for the price-pick one up at Amazon-it was cheaper than anyone else, including my beloved B&H Photo.

Don't forget a memory card!

BUT- try to find a different place to buy it. $599.00 is way too expensive.



The features of this camera put it on a par with most professional models.
Another thought: NASA has determined that 2-mega-pixle is equal to 20-20 vision. (The Mars explorer robots are equiped with 2 MP cameras.)
So, unless you are going to do some wild cropping, go easy on the file sizes.
Another plus: It uses AA bateries.


I research online for a few months trying to find a decent camera. The main thing for me was mobility, and price. I wanted to buy a camera in the mid 200s but that still had a good quality picture. This camera more than delivers.
--- Pros ---
1. Small and light weight
2. Uses 2 AA batteries
3. Very good feature set in camera
4. SD memory
5. Amazing photos and videos
6. Very well packed box (with lots of manuals in case you want to read them)
--- Cons ---
1. Only comes with a 16MB SD card (not really a problem, but something to know)
2. Flap on side with USB and media plugs is covered by a soft rubber piece that doesn't feel all that secure (not bad, just that I wish it moved a little easier)
3. In automatic mode you can't take too close of photos, about 4 inches when zoomed all the way out and 12 inches zoomed all the way in (I am sure that if you play around the manual settings you can get better result)
4. A small thing about the optical viewfinder, seems to be a little zoomed in (this could be a feature though, just to make sure you don't miss the corners you were trying to line up with)


On the downside, it would have been nicer if the product came with a larger SD card.



The camera does not work well in low light situations where the flash could not be used or at night with outdoor events. Without flash, the camera could not capture clear pictures, but the movie mode still works well. With this, the night shot mode seems to have no effect. Macro mode is also not as clear as it should be.
Also, forced flash does not work in "auto" mode, the feature is just disabled. The camera has to be set in "program" mode for forced flash to work. This is a minor inconvenience.
Overall, the camera is one of the best for daily point and shoot. Just remember to change the setting to "P" to force the flash on in case you capture an object against the light source.



There are plenty of "dummy" settings for dummies like me, but there appears to be enough adjustable settings so that someone who knows more about the technical aspects of photography has more freedom. That was one reason I chose the Powershot - so I could "grow" with this camera as I learn more about photography.
The LCD screen is much better than on my previous camera and of course the swivel feature is nice - even if for no other reason is that you can use it to protect the screen when you're not using your camera.
I like that the mode control is an easy-to-use dial rather than requiring the user to flip through menu after menu. I need to get into the habit of changing modes for different shooting situations and the accessibility will make it easier for me to do that.
As some other reviews have stated - the cover for the A/V outputs is weak. I can get it to close all the way, but I have to mess with it for a seconds. The wrist strap loop also sits too close so that gets in the way a bit. Poorly designed all around there.
I have not yet been able to take advantage of all of the features of this camera, but so far I am extremely pleased with my purchase and look forward to using it for years to come!



The auto-focus feature helps you shoot pics like a pro.
Best camera for the price.
I love it.
