Quite a lot of research went into this purchase. For a number of years I have wanted a good quality small camera with 720p video capability to replace my 2005 Canon A710, which still takes great photos but no HD video.The Canon G15 has a solid build, took nice video without any focus seeking and was impressive in low light environments. Unfortunately the focusing accuracy shooting stills left much to be desired. Although the camera has an incredible close focusing distance, attempting to shoot a macro shot of a flower's stigma was impossible unless focus was set to manual. The G15 automatically focused on a leaf 3 inches further away. Good auto focus in macro mode is required when following insects on flowers or creeping up on a briefly paused dragonfly. My A710 does this beautifully.Most of the time the camera focused normally. Occasionally, however, subjects in the center of the frame would be soft while people or things a yard or so further would be tack sharp. (Zoomed in of course. Wide angle shots were fine.) Focus points were checked while reviewing results on my computer, using Aperture, to make sure it wasn't due to operator error. It is unacceptable to have good shots ruined by what should be a simple autofocusing situation.The color reproduction shooting jpeg was also disappointing. The Canon G15 suffered in comparison to the Canon SX40HS, SX260HS and even my 8 year old Canon A710. That great Canon saturation that many photographers love was missing. Possibly the problem is particular to this individual camera.Considering the Canon G series has a great reputation, most photographers will probably be satisfied with the Canon G15 camera. It's just not the camera for me.

I primarily purchased the SX160 to take videos and photos of my kids performing in an orchestra. For my purpose the camera worked very well, sitting in the back row I had a clear view of the entire stage and was easily able to zoom up to my children's faces as they were playing their instruments.While taking videos the zoom is very silent and smooth and from 16x it will magnify digitally up to 64x which was surprisingly sharp and clear as the image stabilization was very effective. Considering the theater type stage lighting the exposures looked great although the auto focus did have trouble at one point but was reliable most of the time. The camera also picks up the sound in stereo so the music from the performances sounded amazingly good.My results with still photos were also very good considering the extended zoom and low lighting conditions, I also appreciated the silent mode which muted all sounds from the camera. I own a Canon Rebel XS and am so conditioned to this electronic age of cameras that I was trying to figure out how to mute it also until it dawned on me that it is an SLR with an actual mirror and shutter making the noise.Since this camera uses AA batteries I am never in short supply of power with many spare Ni-MH batteries at my disposal. The downside is that the SX160 only uses two batteries resulting in agonizingly slow recharge times for the manually activated flash. The upside is that this camera takes decently good photos in low-light without the flash if set up properly.I'm familiar with the old 35mm manual SLR cameras of the past so I appreciate the ability to control shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings with this camera. There are also several unique shooting modes such as toy camera, miniature, and fish eye. My kids have a fun time with the fish eye setting and take some hilarious photos in that mode.For the price this is a great camera for the powerful stabilized zoom and video capture with stereo recording. Having manual controls one can take terrific natural light photos with the SX160.Although as a point and shoot camera some may be disappointed since the flash does not pop-up automatically when needed which may often result in blurred photos along with the frustratingly long recharge times. Without flash the SX160 starts up fast, is very responsive, focuses quickly with decent shot to shot times capturing well exposed images.

I am a long time Canon Powershot G series owner and enthusiast (G7, G9, G10). A G series camera is always a part of my kit, even when my primary camera is a DSLR.The new Canon Powershot G15 is hands down one of the best high end compact cameras on the market today. The issues previous cameras in this series had have been improved and/or solved. It has very good low light performance, auto focus and shutter lag time.Shooting in Auto will create beautiful images, but once you begin to explore the multitude of tweaks that can be made to an image with the G15, you will never just point and shoot again. Lots and lots of buttons and knobs for instant adjustments to the camera.I've always felt the G10 came close to DSLRs in tweakability, features, and image quality. However, the G15 closes the gap even farther.The best camera is the one you have on you. Because it's a compact ruggedly built camera, you will shoot more, because of not being burdened with a huge DSLR body, lenses, and everything else an enthusiast or pro is liable to bring.My DSLRs only come out for the very few situations when I need to look professional, need faster focus, a brighter lens, or bulb for long exposures. Most times my G15 can handle whatever I throw at it. I love using my G15, wireless st-e2 transmitter, and a couple of speedlites together.Another thing that drew me to the G15. as well as the other G series cameras, is the Optical Viewfinder. Its very rare these days to have one on a compact camera. Its not a %100 view, but its better than nothing at all. And its great for shooting in a situation that requires stealth.I've also purchased three Carryspeed 52mm MagFilter Threaded Adapter Rings. They attach magnetically to the lens, and allow for using all types of filters. I have a Polarizer, Gradient ND, Variable ND filter attached to each one. I would recommend checking this product out on Youtube.DOF in video is awesome using a variable ND filter. Video is great period, and focuses when zooming in and out.This camera has answered just about all issues I had with a compact camera, and I highly recommend this camera.

I wanted something to take on trips so I didn't have to lug around my EOS and big, heavy lenses all the time. This G15 turned out to fit my needs nearly perfectly. I only wish it had a longer lens. I added the Mag Filter kit, which works great! Fully programmable, manual macro focus adjustments, etc. and the pics come out great! No, it doesn't fit in your pocket, but very few P&S in this category will. I'm very pleased with the G15 purchase.

For a landscape hiking camera this is a real winner. Perhaps the best out there over-all. Pocketable, built really well, packed with DSLR-like control. I simply set the ISO around 100, the aperture fairly high, and snap away. The results are fantastic. I do virtually no post-processing. Then in the evenings, I’ll raise the ISO and lower the aperture and get amazing lower light stuff without the flash. For icing on the cake, videos are super clear and enjoyable and the darn thing can send images to my iPad!My only gripe is that the battery on this model doesn't last quite as long as some other point and shoots I've used.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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 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.

I'm impressed with the results of this camera.Good points are:- Files in raw format;- Front ring which enables fast configuration changes;- The focus and shooting are fast;- The video quality is also very good;- And the most prominent is its capacity with night shots or low light environments.Negative points are:- Does not have integrated GPS and requires connections with smarthphone or tablet;The performance of this camera is almost comparable to a current entry DSLR, but in a compact body that fits in any pocket.

I purchased this camera mainly because my spouse wanted something she could use regular batteries in. With her old but reliable Kodak camera you had to have a separate charger which would tend to run out of energy always at the wrong moment. This camera not only eats batteries like candy but has issues with exposure and flash charging. Stay away from this model.

Uses up the battery like crazy - no way to turn off the WiFI that I believe sucks battery power. Get at least 2 extra batteries if you buy this camera. Have used a S100 but prefer the S95. Have 2 - S95 Cannons that I like better than either of them. Some of the controls have been moved to the menu's from the back control buttons to make room for the WiFI connection controls - I have no interest in uploading photos from the camera via WiFI. This seems to be the main benefit of this camera. Takes great photos and the larger 12mp versus 10mp of the S95 has some advantages. 3x vs 5x is a slight advantage. S120 is heavier than S95. Strap is stiff and not flexible enough. Get a used S95 for about $150

I purchased this as a "cheap" replacement, that would take AA batteries, for my dead Olympus Ultra Zoom to get through the Holidays until I have enough money to purchase a really "good" camera.To say the least, I am impressed! Once you have it set up, this camera automatically goes into macro mode and has a button or knob for almost every function you want to get to without going into a bunch of nested menus like the Olympus.The manual, Ap and Sp modes are instantly accessible and easy to dial in and use...PLUS what you see in the viewfinder is what the exposure will look like when taken. This is something I have not seen since my Nikon FE film camera!!My "GOOD" camera may well end up being a Canon rather than one of the other top rated brands for ease of use and great Preview function.

Ужасно

i get to take 4 or 5 pictures and the batteries are dead - or if i leave them in overnight i get no pictures. if i use the flash it takes forever to charge it and then you are done. i take the same batteries out and put them into my nikon coolpix and can still take pictures. too much stuff burning up the batteries to be able to take pics is my theory. the price seemed too good and so it was. camon has offered to repair it, but i am not sure it is worth spending postage money on.

Now that direct wi-fi works with the Canon app and the iPhone is capable of processing RAW using Photogene, etc. I have found a good reason to upgrade from my S95. The S95 still takes wonderful pics and is one of the best pocket cameras in existence. I use an Eye-Fi Pro X2 card for wifi with that camera and it works, sort of.This one works right. You can choose using a thumbnail menu which images to send to your phone, process them with some very good smartphone photo apps, combine images, colorize, add text, crop, whatever you want to do, then upload the resulting image in real time.The very best smartphone lens and sensor are toys next to this camera. One of my favorite things to do is take a 3-shot bracket, wi-fi the images to my phone and process an HDR shot using the phone's superior processor.A good smartphone or tablet and the S120 make an exciting mobile imaging team.

I bought this camera after my Nikon point and shoot went on the fritz. I went back to the Canon because they take great concert pictures. Not only does this camera work great in dim lighting but it has great zoom abilities. That makes it the perfect camera for rock concerts. The camera also stabilizes your shot even if your hands shake a little. There are no bad pictures with this camera!The camera uses regular batteries which I prefer because charging a battery slows you down. If you're on the go, stock up on some batteries and go. No worries about having to plug the battery in and wait until you have a full charge to shoot.Even better, the price is super reasonable. You cannot get a name brand camera for this price anywhere!

We ordered this camera the day it came out. Of course they lowered the price $20 two days later, but it is still a very good value for what you get. This camera is replacing a Sony Cybershot that also was a 12MB camera. The reason we decided to go with this camera is because we found that having a good camera and a separate camcorder was becoming cumbersome. This camera gives you an all-in-one advantage as it is a good quality point and shoot camera as well as an HD video camera and it is rugged and waterproof. I also recommend getting a Sandisk Extreme Card for this camera because those cards have the speed to handle Full HD video. We went with the 32GB version just to make sure we had plenty of space. Also buy extra batteries!! You can also find an inexpensive (under $4) HDMI Mini to HDMI cable to hook this camera up directly to your TV to showcase your HD footage.If you are looking for a very high quality camera, you will never get that in a point and shoot which this is. If you are looking for good quality pictures, this camera will meet those needs. If you are looking to shoot an academy award winning movie, once again this is not the right choice for you. This camera is for the everyday user that wants to have good pictures and HD video in one place. This is perfect for families and it can go in the pool, to the beach, and can still be handled by a toddler as it can handle some abuse. You can get a much better camera (with 20x+ optical zoom versus 5x) for the same price without the waterproof feature so make sure that is what you are looking for. Being able to take it anywhere was our number one feature.Features we loved:--Waterproof and Rugged--Full HD Video (also allows you to zoom while recording which most cameras do not allow)--Has a good look to it (some of the competitors have a very boxy look)Features that could have been done better (why it is 4 stars instead of 5):--The camera has a place for the strap on the left side. They intended that to be for the shoulder strap, but the screw in handle strap attachment made for the lower right side is very awkward. In other words, I have always had my camera strapped to my right hand and now I need to get used to strapping it to my left hand. They should have had a built it strap loop on each side.--They put the on/off button, picture taking button, and playback button lined up all on the top side of the camera. Be prepared to line up that perfect shot, but miss it because you hit the playback button instead of the picture taking button. The playback button should have been on the back side of the camera.--The camera is quite big for a point and shoot. It does not bother me, but this is not going to fit into a tiny purse or your back pocket.

In other words, I have always had my camera strapped to my right hand and now I need to get used to strapping it to my left hand. They should have had a built it strap loop on each side.--They put the on/off button, picture taking button, and playback button lined up all on the top side of the camera. Be prepared to line up that perfect shot, but miss it because you hit the playback button instead of the picture taking button. The playback button should have been on the back side of the camera.--The camera is quite big for a point and shoot. It does not bother me, but this is not going to fit into a tiny purse or your back pocket.

We ordered this camera the day it came out. Of course they lowered the price $20 two days later, but it is still a very good value for what you get. This camera is replacing a Sony Cybershot that also was a 12MB camera. The reason we decided to go with this camera is because we found that having a good camera and a separate camcorder was becoming cumbersome. This camera gives you an all-in-one advantage as it is a good quality point and shoot camera as well as an HD video camera and it is rugged and waterproof. I also recommend getting a Sandisk Extreme Card for this camera because those cards have the speed to handle Full HD video. We went with the 32GB version just to make sure we had plenty of space. Also buy extra batteries!! You can also find an inexpensive (under $4) HDMI Mini to HDMI cable to hook this camera up directly to your TV to showcase your HD footage.If you are looking for a very high quality camera, you will never get that in a point and shoot which this is. If you are looking for good quality pictures, this camera will meet those needs. If you are looking to shoot an academy award winning movie, once again this is not the right choice for you. This camera is for the everyday user that wants to have good pictures and HD video in one place. This is perfect for families and it can go in the pool, to the beach, and can still be handled by a toddler as it can handle some abuse. You can get a much better camera (with 20x+ optical zoom versus 5x) for the same price without the waterproof feature so make sure that is what you are looking for.
