I bought this camera used and it seems to work great. The camera is very small and can easily fit in my bag. The flash is kind of in a strange place.

I bought this Canon in the fall of 2010 to replace my beloved Canon S90 that had suffered some water damage after I fell into a rushing creek during a backpacking adventure along the John Muir Trail. Although this camera is no S90, it has a few outstanding qualities of its own unlike the S90.I have several small Canon point and shoots and this one exceeds all the others when it comes to macro shots. It consistently gets the closest, best-focused shots when compared to the S90. Although the flash sometimes wants to activate, it can eventually focus on demand.I have also taken excellent shots of the moon during several full moon rises.Two things that weigh against the camera are its slow shutter release and the added weight. This weighs almost twice as much as my S90. And the shutter release and auto focus can take a few seconds to activate, which can create blurry photographs or badly-composed shots of running pets or children.Image quality is excellent though. So if you are looking for an excellent macro camera, a decent video recorder and shots of and low-light landscapes or portraits, this is an excellent camera despite the incremental price increase of almost a hundred bucks since I bought this camera. It's an excellent alternative to other cameras.PRO:MacroLow-LightImage qualityCON:WeightSlow shutter releaseSlow flash

I love this camera! This is the 5th Canon I have purchased from Amazon, and each one has been better than the last. I was looking for a camera with these attributes: - small enough to fit in my leather case to wear on my belt - capable of quality photos in low light - longer distance flash - easy video control...the instant button is very handy. - greater zoom distance...amazing for such a small camera!This camera fulfills all my requirements. I just came back from a vacation in Michigan, and the photos I took are absolutely gorgeous. I found I could leave the camera set on "Auto" almost all of the time. The only time I found myself switching to "Manual" was when I wanted to force the flash. Otherwise, "Auto" works great.My only negative comment concerns the placement of the pop-up flash. Since I (and most people) hold a camera in two hands, I found my left index finger tends to cover the flash, so it doesn't pop up when I turn the camera on. However, I've learned to adjust, and am very pleased with everything else.

I've bought this camera to take to my daughter's pageant. My old camera had a terrible zoom (3x) and it didn't take clear videos because the pixels were too low (4 megapixels). This camera has a 14x zoom that I absolutely love and the pixels (14.1 megapixels) look great on my 47" HD LCD TV. It is also a great camera for someone who doesn't know a lot about cameras because it has a feature that lets you point and shoot where the camera will make all the adjustments that you need. It actually has two options for this EASY and AUTO. You can choose which one works best for you. I personally have used both depending on whether I'm inside or outside. I have recommended this camera to two people already and they told me that they were going to look into it. Also, when I went to purchase this camera at a local store like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, in two different states, they either didn't carry the camera or they were out of stock. I found it a challenge then and had to have the camera, because I figured it must be a great camera and it is!

I can't believe this picture quality this little guy puts out. I took in on a road trip recently, and logged in over 1000 photos. After weeding out some, the remaining pics I had were excellent, and all worthy of printing out. Some people have told me that there are a few Nat Geo worthy pics in there, which is always a compliment.Zoom is also fantastic. I will post up some pictures from Glacier Nat. Park showing the zoom quality soon. The size is also a great perk. It fits in a back jean pocket perfectly with no discomfort. Get this camera.

First, I would like to thank my Amazon electronics guru, PC Junkie, for his input on this camera. Wonderful research and review!Secondly, I realize it is only the first of October but this camera is the best Christmas present from my husband. It was time for a serious upgrade (camera, not husband)and I didn't want to make a serious mistake as this is for the long haul (camera and husband). I have used a Canon Powershot point and shoot for several years, in fact, technology had left me in the dust. I definitely did not want a SLR, I wanted something that I could use at a moment's notice. I want pictures of my husband, family and friends, my cats, my garden when the hydragenas and roses are in full bloom. I am not doing a magazine layout for Vogue. This camera description was just perfect for my list of wants and needs. Having used friends' Elphs I was not impressed with the tiny bits as they were just too awkward for my mature fingers. I verified this was not a problem after I did a test run in a camera store. I almost fainted at the camera store price as it was MUCH higher than Amazon. The next day I had a message from my Amazon Cart informing me there was a fifty doller drop on the Amazon camera price. It was kismet!Thirdly, one of the best features about Canon is that you can use their cameras right out of the box, which I did with this one. Ease of use, set on Automatic, zoom in or out, click and download. I have used only a few features on this camera and find the picture quality AMAZING! Amazing ZOOM feature! I waited for the right one to come along and I am not sorry to have done so (husband and camera). The auto setting takes motion without blurring esp. nice in a high pixel point and shoot.I did purchase two products to complement this camera (also researched and reviewed by PC Junkie) that I highly recommend:Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6Deluxe Leather Case PSC-3200 (for SX210IS, also compatible for S90)Enjoy the pics!

In fairness, I didn't spend a lot of time messing with settings on this camera before deciding to return it, but I own a Panasonic Lumix 12mp 12X zoom and bought this for my mother because it was 14mp and 14x zoom so I figured it was the next generation in point and shoot cameras and Canon is a trusted name. This might be a perfectly good camera for an average or novice user (hence the high amount of positive reviews) but for the price, I feel there are better cameras out there.Immediately I was disappointed by the image quality. The color calibration was way off right out of the box (blues looked purple and you don't even want to know how skin-tone looked)and not only that, but the display screen was somewhat pixelated making it difficult to decipher whether or not the picture itself was any good or not.The flash pops up on the top left corner which is an awkward place for a flash because your hand would be there to hold the camera, so I kept accidentally covering the flash or pushing it down. I don't know why they didn't build the flash into the body of the camera instead of making it a pop up. I can see that falling off or breaking easily down the road.The controls are clunky and awkward too. This camera was meant to replace a Canon Powershot SD6300 and even that camera had a clear LCD screen and button controls. You would think a newer generation model would have refined those things instead of making them less usable. I'm shocked and disappointed with the quality of this camera. Epic fail Canon!! I think I'll buy my mom the Lumix. I've had mine for a year and I'm still impressed by it every time I use it!

I was in a "purple" mood when I ordered this camera. Otherwise, I would have gone with the more conservative gold color. Quite disappointed that the camera looks closer in color to my "red" netbook (I would call it burgundy) than the true purple shown on my computer screen. It's more violet (reddish) than purple. In fact, I thought maybe I got a "red" one by mistake, but that was another camera that came in red. Not all that important, I know; just one of the downsides to ordering online. Writing this so anyone else out there who is influenced by colors will be aware.Before I used the camera, I knew I had a good one because my stepson and son-in-law went ga-ga over it. Now that I've used it, two of my favorite things about it are the telephoto capacity and the fact that I can take pictures without a flash in low light conditions and get a good picture where other cameras couldn't get one even with a flash. It's awesome!!Took me a while to learn -- and still learning -- how to set all the features because I don't like spending time to put a CD in the computer or going to an online manual to search for specific instructions. It's easier to thumb through a paper manual and mark it for quick reference next time. But I have to say, never having had a Canon before, it's pretty user friendly. It did take me 3 months, though, to figure out that when you press on the edges of the round dial you get four different menus depending on which side, top, or bottom was pressed. I kept getting one of the menus, but didn't know how I did it and didn't know how to make it stay there long enough to choose. Even the aforementioned camera nerds couldn't tell me. But then I accidentally pressed a different side and figured it out. :)

I purchased this camera as a backup for DSLR. First, I want a small camera to make additional pictures to choose from. This includes both full-scale pictures and visual comments/captions. Second, I need a simple alternative for a telephoto zoom. Finally, I have no use for a full-scale camcorder, but appreciate reasonably good HD video.For all these purposes SX210IS works fine. Nothing can replace F1.4/50 lens, but I find this small camera quite capable to compete with DSLR equipped with a cheap kit lens. This is exactly what I need! Also, I find the flash excellent, I don't think image color quality it provides is much worse than that of external DSLR flash.Considering the fast progress in point-and-shoots, IMO, it is better to spend about $200 and use the camera for a couple of years than invest $400 and find it outdated pretty soon. This camera is just right in this respect as well.As I found out, it makes sense to get a couple of extra batteries, they can be found for $3 apiece.

I like the fast response, but this is my 2nd canon that does not seem to take clear pics. Also, when I was video'ing my son's xmas show, the focus kept going in and out in and out. very disconcerting. Finally, I really dislike the location of the flash. I am always accidentally pushing it down. It needs to be integrated into the frame and not be a pop up.

I rely on reviews very much before I make any purchase, and the reviews were great on this camera. But I am disappointed in some of it's functions. I like most people wanted to find a camera that is easy to use and takes quality pictures, I was also looking for one that had really good zoom.The first thing I noticed that I wasn't totally happy with is that the flash opens right where most people place there fingers to hold onto the camera. There has been a few times that I have turned the camera on and without realizing that my finger is on the flash so it doesn't open. I have to turn the camera on then off again to get it to open.The second thing was the power button is way too small. I have petite hands and fingers, but I have to make sure I push right in the center of the button to turn the camera on. This can be annoying when I am in a hurry to capture that perfect picture.The zoom is unbelievable, but the more you zoom in the more shaky the image gets on the screen and the longer it takes for the camera to focus. This has caused me to miss some shots or to have shaky videos.Lastly, it is not all that easy to use. I am not the best with technically but I'm not the worst either. I read through the manual, but it's pretty hard to remember all of the functions and how to get to them without it. Hopefully this will become easier with time.The camera is lightweight, small, does take wonderful pictures when you have the time to zoom, click and wait. I do not suggest this camera however if your trying to capture anything that is moving or you need to capture something quickly.

Loved this, except it suddenly stopped working: would turn itself off without warning after just a few moments. Sent it back to Canon for 'in warranty' repair. We will see. If it worked it would be a five star, for ease of use and great pictures. Only, if you want really fast response time, you have to go to a real SLR- so action shots and fast changing facial expressions- not so much. Everything else, great, and it is a great carry-everywhere camera

So I purchased this camera for my wife since our first child was born a couple months ago and we needed a way to start capturing memories. This camera does the job... that is for sure. The first thing I noticed about the camera was that it takes amazing video. In fact the video is better than my mothers video camera she received last year. The only down side about the video is that it saves without any compression making the file sizes huge, but since I can compress the video myself using 'Any Video Converter' (which is free) I have no issues.The photos come out really nice with the flash. Even in light settings, it seems that when the flash is on the camera takes better photos. With good lighting it takes surprisingly sharp photos. I say that it is surprising because you don't need to keep your hand perfectly steady all the time. It definitely is built with some good algorithms for face finding and focus.The only down side to the camera was the blurr affect of moving objects. I was disappointed with the fact that some of my pictures were coming out blurry but then found that compared to all the other cameras that my friends and family received for christmas, my camera was blurry far less often than the others. Some of the other cameras were even priced higher than my SX210IS and could not produce a single crisp image. I would say that as long as the object in front of me is moving at a fast pace, the SX210IS outperforms its competition. We are very pleased.

Please see Cooper's Hawk picture above. I like this camera because it has 14x optical zoom, which is great for zooming in on people, but not so great for difficult wildlife pictures. I was hoping I might be able to take this camera backpacking and leave my SLR behind to save weight. The key question was whether the zoom was good enough to take the pictures I wanted of wildlife (including birds) that I see when I'm hiking in the National Parks. From my house (open window), I first took a picture with the Powershot SX210IS of a cooper's hawk way in the back of my yard at maximum 14x optical (not digital) zoom (on left). I then pulled out my Canon XSI SLR with 70-300 mm lens and took the same shot (see right picture). Both were outside the typical range of the lens, and both had similar megapixels and file size; however, you can tell the left picture is not near the quality of the right picture. As I said, I like the camera, but you might want to temper your expectations. It's great for people, but not a replacement for a real zoom lens for wildlife photography.By the way, I have no problem with the pop up zoom. I like the option of opening and closing the flash with my finger to suit my needs. The video is nice, but note that you cannot play it on your computer because it's high def. If you try, you get jerky movement. The video is fine when played on my HDTV.

While the camera's features are good for the price, I have sent this camera back twice. The first one had a dead pixel on the LCD screen after a week of use. Then I got a new one, thanks to Amazon's great service. The second one worked fine until it had the same problem 3 months later. The problem is that this time the pixel appears like a red spot when playing the videos on the computer. So this time I think is something on the sensor. I think this is going to be my last Cannon even if I love my 30D. I'll give Nikon a try.I sent the camera to Amazon just after the three months period, hopefully they'll give me store credit or something similar so I can buy the Nikon.Well, that is why I can't recommend the camera even if I liked it's features and performance. I have been searching the web and I found 3 other people with the same problem, and one of them had the same problem 3 times, so I guess Canon's quality control is not that good on this camera. Now I'm stuck with 2 extra batteries :(Thanks for viewing my review.

The Good:Very good quality images in the daylight, although the 14 mega-pixels is a little unnecessary.Flash is very easy to toggle on/off(just open or close it) Some people complain that the camera is awkward to hold because of the flash placement but i personally like where it is.The menu system is extremely easy to use, very nice for changing settingsThe camera itself is very easy to use.14X zoom.It has fully manual controls (zoom, aperture, shutter speed).More than enough special picture modes to play around with.My experiences with the video quality have been very good.The BadThis camera does have a lens shadowing issue, it should only come up if you taking close pictures with the flash, but its still an issueLow-light performance is decent, but something like the Sony HX5V/B would probably be better if you plan on taking a lot of dark pictures, but this camera is still a lot better than your average point and shoot.It is one of the slowest shooting cameras in this price range, a dirty trick to get around this is to put the camera in low light mode and it takes pictures very fast. For me this hasn't been an issue.Whether this camera is worth it or not really depends on what features your looking for in a camera. Personally, I spent a lot of time researching other cameras and I'm very happy with my purchase.

We had an earlier SX210 that has worked well, so, when the time came for me to upgrade, I wanted to try this model for its wide-angle lens and its impressive zoom. I knew about the annoying pop-up flash, which is still annoying, and in this version the on/off button is harder to deal with than the earlier one. But I can deal with design issues; what I hate is poor image quality. Even without zooming, many of my photos were blurry, not sharp. That could arise from the camera being lightweight, or the image stabilization perhaps (which made it hard to estimate when the shutter would fire). The color resolution was not good, with extreme contrasts and little color saturation. Yes, perhaps I hit the wrong adjustments, but I don't think so and did not do so deliberately. I don't adjust a point-and-shoot much; I want something that works out of the box. I tried to adjust the photos with basic software, but the colors and bad focus made almost all of my photos dull to look at and uninteresting to try to adjust. I figure that, even with decently rated models, there are some individual items that are kind of lemons, and I think this was one. Others may wish to spend time trying to adjust the exposure, but I'm sending it back.

I have this camera for almost a year now. I was impressed with the quality of the pictures. I am selling stuff on craigslist and ebay and I've received emails not about the items I'm selling but what camera I'm using. It is great for macro and night shots. Which is one of the things I've considered when buying since it has high rating when it comes night shots without flash..The negative side of it is, the speed. Very slow shutter and taking pictures of my 1yr old boy and 2yr old girl is very frustrating. It comes out blurred most of the time!!! Even when using the children/pet setting. My 6yr old Kodak takes better picture when it comes to moving objects. I don't recommend it for parents whose main purpose is to take pictures of their children who moves a lot and runs around. There's a great lag in shutter, even if I turn "review" off. Another negative is, when using flash, pictures came out to be super bright even in distance and it just washed out the picture. It also has kind of very orange tint on it.If the main purpose for using the camera is for nature, still pictures, then go for it. Great quality! I have a couple of sunset photos over Manhattan Skyline and ppl thought its from a DSLR..

This is the third Canon point and shoot I've purchased because I was extremely pleased with the previous ones and I wanted one with more zoom. Everything else works great except the autofocus which I depend on. I ended up adjusting the shutter speed for pictures instead of using "auto". The video constantly moves out of focus even though i'm trying to keep the camera steady and on target. I know it is not a camcorder but all of my other digital cameras took adequate basic videos but this will not. I'm disappointed because I wanted all the functions to be adequate in one package.

This camera is great, its zoom ability is awesome, the features are really fun to play around with, and overall, it's great for everyday use. It's not the most compact or lightest, but the slightly larger size and weight are worth it for the increased quality of the photos. The only thing I don't like is how the flash is on the left side, and pops up when taking the picture--so when holding the camera, if my hand happens to be holding that part, then the flash won't open at all. I have noticed this on some other great Canon cameras as well. But, if the flash is actually open, it works great, captures enough light. I am very pleased with my purchase. I LOVE Canon cameras; from my experience, they have the perfect balance of quality and user-friendliness.

Bought this for $199 on thanksgiving. I really wanted a camera with large optical zoom, but still keeping it compact. This camera is perfect for my needs. The optical zooming while video recording is what made me choose this over the more expensive s95 (which was $299 on thanksgiving).The manual features are up to the mark, the sensor is not as strong as s95, (low light photography without flash requires an ISO setting of 800 for non-blurred pictures while same would be possible at ISO of 200/400 on s95). The grip of the camera is perfect, I wasn't very fascinated by the zoom joystick at first, but you get used to it! The dial to switch the modes is a little tighter than what it needs to be. Flash quality is excellent, it's only the mechanics of the flash that scares me a little bit. You can force it to open close manually and it also opens/closes mechanically at power on (if your finger is not covering the flash, it will open) and power off.The screen is also excellent. Mic quality is awesome for videos (including the stereo effect). I am not sure if there is an option for reducing the wind disturbance, but at first glance I couldn't see it! One little flaw that I noticed was that, while shooting movies in a quiet room with zooming, you can actually hear the lens movements in the video.
