After having a Nikon s9100 for few months with the worst experince from a camera ever, I decided to buy the Canon sx230. What a relief and pleasure to have a camera that does what it is supposed to do. The pictures are really sharp and well exposed, and the colors are natural. The camera performs equally well both outside and inside. However if you are shooting moving objects indoors, I would suggest to set the camera with limitation on the ISO and make it use the flash, or otherwise it may try to use a high ISO but this may result in blurry picture if the object is moving. I have had several Canon cameras in the past and none of them has ever failed me. Way to go Canon.

I love love love this camera. After a couple of weeks of research and reading hundreds of reviews and doing comparisons and actually playing with several at the stores. I finally decided on this camera. Now that I have it, and have done side by side shots with my current Kodak Easy Share it no contest. The canon is superior in EVERY way!!We have kids in sports, and we go to concerts and travel to Lake Tahoe and do cruises and Disneyland every couple of years.I wanted Great Zoom and Great Pictures and high def video, and this compact version of a DSLR camera and packs it all into a point and shoot style. It's the perfect size to carry in a purse pocket or jacket pocket.My husband wanted to get me the Canon Ti3 Rebel and this had most of the same feature on it for 1/3 of the price and I will actually carry it with me to capture all my family's memories.I am not a professional photographer, but I do love it. This is the perfect little camera, it has everything you need and some extra bells and whistles too.

I am very unhappy with this specific model of camera, Canon PowerShot SX230HS 12.1. I got it as a birthday present last year and 7 months the LCD screen went bad. I sent it back to the canon factory for repair and two days upon using the camera the LCD screen went bad. Don't get one like this because they don't last long and you will just get frustrated when the screen goes bad on you.

I cannot review every feature of this camera, but I can say that I am very happy with it for what matters the most to me. I did a lot of research before buying this camera and read hundreds of Amazon reviews. It was mind boggling and no camera seemed to be perfect. I bought this camera as I wanted a pocket camera with good zoom that could take beautiful vacation pictures in Auto mode, and that is what I got! I took pictures of the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce and they look fantastic! You don't know how good the pictures will be until you upload them onto a larger screen, since the camera's LCD screen does not show well in bright light. However, when uploaded, you see all the different color shades of the rocks, the lighting of the sun, etc. The pictures look like a professional took them (as good as my postcards and picture books), and they are unbelievable on an iPad with full display lighting. The focus is great in all levels of zooming. The battery does have a very short life, especially if you take some very short videos. I had 3 batteries with me and used one each day. Buying a battery charger for the car would be a good idea. I carried my camera on my belt in a Case Logic TBC-303 Medium Camera/Camcorder Case (Black) bag that I found on Amazon, and it worked well.

The Canon PowerShot SX230HS does a lot. Yes the pop-up flash is poorly placed and yes, I sometimes have my left index finger in the wrong place whereby confusing the camera, and yes it is heavier and bulkier than all the little Canon Elphs I have used.What I like: Versatility, ease of use, good image quality, interesting ability to make low-light subjects look fine without flash, lens is larger and seems to be a better quality than the Elph, made in Japan.What I don't like: so many bells and whistles that I feel as though the camera doesn't want to let me think, sloooow reset time (really!), bulk and weight so it's not as unobtrusive as its smaller Canon siblings in the Elph line.Will you like it? Can't say, but analyze the kind of photos you will take - family, scenes, sports, macro; this little camera will be an asset if you know what you are doing. It's too much if you are just starting out.Yes, I would buy it again - probably. The price was right.

This is a good camera for its class. The lens is particularly impressive (macro, telephoto, low light, etc.). Gives you good auto as well as manual control, and very cool macro shots. Image quality and color really good, and video is excellent as well. Initially it met and exceeded my expectations and I gave it 5 stars, but then I discovered that often images appeared a bit washed out and not very crisp (even with careful ISO & Whitebalance settings) - something that was also a problem with an old (2004) Cannon PowerShot but never a problem with my old Sony CyberShot or my Canon Rebel SLR.Other telephoto cameras I was considering: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX7V and 9V, because a number of years ago (2005)I remember Sony's CyberShot series having far superior image quality to Canon's PowerShot, but was put off by the reviews that the still image quality of the high-end DSC-HX9V is not that camera's strongest point (haven't actually tested that personally). In retrospect I probably should have gone with the Sony (although I don't know how I would have actually liked the new CyberShot).

I simply cannot believe that a camera as good as this, from a company with Canon's reputation, DOES NOT INCLUDE A USER MANUAL! The only manual is a PDF which is a bad joke. Like I am going to print a 212 page PDF and carry it around with me? GPS function is great. Can be slow to lock on after moving a greater distance but worth waiting for that little satellite image to appear. Recent travels in New Zealand and Australia all pop up in a side bar showing Google Earth when I am viewing them in Picasa. I would give this camera a 4 or 5 if it were not for Canon's "Screw The Customer" attitude in expecting me to work from a PDF manual.

I'm just head over heels in love with this camera. I bought it at the reduced price, and probably wouldn't have spent more than that, but I'm a very amateur photographer. I just wanted a high end point and shoot. This thing deserves 5 stars for the zoom alone. I just took a picture of the moon at full zoom and it came out with such clarity and precision, I was motivated to write this review. Also, I recently took a video at a rock concert and the picture AND audio came out crystal clear!! I have never had such great results with a point and shoot (and I've owned 4). Some complain about battery life, but I have had the camera since December and have only charged it once or twice. Granted, I leave the GPS function turned off (this seems like a very specialized, not that useful function anyway). I love it!!

This camera has great quality pictures in the auto mode.Three big problem areas: 1. If is impossible to hold on to when you are taking pictures. The rght hand slips off if trying to hold it while selecting features. I did solve most of this problem with a stick-on handle from Flipbac.If you place your left hand on the camera to hold it while shooting, you either: cover the flash so it won't open, cover the speaker, or cover the GPS antenna. There is no room for your fingers to hold it from the top and grabing it from the side is somewhat slippery with the stainless steel casing. 2. The menu system is extremely difficult and inconsistant. I have had several Canon cameras and felt that eventhough others have coplained about this, I could master it easily. Not so!!! Each parameter has its own unique sequence to select it, change it and exit it. Ok if all you use is "Auto" 3. Battery life. As others have mentioned, the batteries last about one fourth the time that other canon camera I had do.Having read the complaints on battery life, I bought an extra immediately. Now I realize I will nee at least four batteries, mabye 5 or six, for any photoshoot. And be sure you take your charger with you on any trip, and get an auto charger too.(BTW, turn the GPS off or the battery life is worse, if that's possible.)The good news is that it does take great pictures of high quality and is feature loaded. It's a shame Canon neglected the user friendliness in its attempt to make it small and sleek.

I returned my elph 310 and bought this for the same price because of the zoom lens & manual controls, after 2 days about 200 photos, switching sd cards ( just in case it was the card) it's going to be returned. Not one photo even on a tripod came out sharp & clear. This camera Tripod light came on for almost every shot even outdoors in sunlight. It's Christmas eve and now have to run to Best Buy so I have a camera tonight. I got lemon. Also even if I didn't have a lemon the control dial on the back of the camera is not user friendly. When you want to switch a control like macro or flash, forget it, everything else comes up. Canon what happened to you? the ergonomics suck.I have always owned canons, since the 70's. My SLR is a canon. In 2007 I bought Canon power shot A630. Never a bad photo, perfect ergonomics, auto & manual controls everything even video except RAW. So the technology is available.What I didn't like about the elph is that it had horrible noise when you zoom in video mode. But the photos were much better then this.

I wanted a small point-and-shoot with better zoom than my older Powershot. I've played with it non-stop for 4 days and I absolutely love it! The partial manual controls (P, Av, Tv) are easy to manipulate. Love the full manual mode!! Dim light was not a problem, even with the kids moving fast. The battery lasted 3 days of about 3 non-stop hours use each day...it charges quickly. It's sturdy and relatively comfortable. The only negative thus far is the flash placement. If the flash is up you either have to hold it with one hand or re-position your fingers ackwardly. I will definitely be keeping the wrist strap on with this one!! Over all, for the $ and the great picture quality and zoom, I would recommend it!!

I loved this camera when it worked.Battery life could be better, but the photos I've taken with this camera are remarkable.I would recomment this camera to everyone until the problems started.I kept this camera in my laptop backback in its own padded carry case. I'm sure it was knocked around a little bit in this travel kit, but I expect a camera I originally paid over $350 to be reasonably rugged. I was wrong.first the LCD started showing everything as a negative image. Canon customer support corrected this under warranty with no issues. BUT, when it returned the focus no longer worked. Since then, I toted this in a jacket pocket and the 15 cent cover over the lense got bent. Canon now wants $111 to fix the focus they broke plus the lense cover because of physical damage and refuse to fix the focus problem that existed before.If you can treat this like you would a $2000 SLR, it is a great camera. if you want it in all environments as a pocket camera, keep looking. It is too fragile.

I had a hard time deciding between the SX220HS and this one and decide to opt for the GPS model despite the comments about eating up the battery. I love the camera, picture quality, and ease of use, but the GPS isn't worth the extra money. GPS works only if you're in a relatively wide-open area, and it takes several minutes to sync. It does faithfully record the location and time data, but not always for all pictures. Wander down a narrow street, for example, and the GPS loses its reading. It does chew up the battery pretty quickly, but that's not a problem as long as you bring a spare. While running the GPS and shooting pictures, the battery will last 3-4 hours. You have to remember to turn off the GPS when you're done for the day. If you don't, it continues to eat up power even when the camera is off. (You're warned about that whenever you turn the GPS on.) I do like the little utility that comes with it that lets you write location data to any photo after the fact. I suspect the utility also comes with the 220 model, so I really didn't need to waste the extra money.Enough ranting about the GPS - I just will use it sparingly. Photos are stunning, and the HD video is awesome. Be advised that you'll need a decent computer to be able to play the HD vids. By "decent" I mean a high-speed processor, plenty of memory, and an independent high-speed video card. One one of my laptops, the HD videos stutter when I try to play them. If you don't care about the GPS, I recommend you get the 220 instead. Same camera just without the GPS toy.

I have been able to take really amazing photographs with this camera. It is great for people who like to manipulate the shutter and aperture and also for those who are not quite as camera savvy. It has been a great camera and I haven't had any problems with it. I love this camera!! The only bad thing is it doesn't have a viewfinder- it only has the digital screen. It is really awesome :)

I needed a camera for my work in lean manufacturing. I was looking for Canon specifically because I have always had good luck with the brand. This particular model came up for $199.00 along with another Canon but I felt the features of this unit were more suited to my task and the price was right. It arrived on time, in good condition and works as expected. As a bonus it is much smaller than expected making it easier to transport and carry. I would recommend this camera for anyone needing a high resolution unit with a lot of optical zoom capability and HD Video as a back up. It is small enough to fit in a dress shirt pocket and not be uncomfortable. It is not recommended for extended or high pressure pants pocket storage as the lens cover shutter is exposed. Good luck with your purchasing decisions.

I use a canon g12 as my travel camera and for special occasions but I wanted a smaller camera to carry with me every day in my pocket or briefcase while not traveling. I find the G12 to be superb, indoors and outdoors, in bright or dim light. It is very sharp, the optical viewfinder is helpful for action shots, and the articulating screen make unobtrusive waist level photography easy.I find the sx 230 weighs about seven ounces compared to the about 14 ounces of the G12. The G12 is very sharp but the sx 230hs is almost equally sharp indoors and outdoors. The zoom control on the sx230 is far smoother than the one on the G12. Photos seem perfectly exposed, in sunshine and in rain, and in artificial light. The long zoom is more useful than I thought and are quite sharp at all focal lengths. It is even quite sharp at maximum zoom if the shutter speed is set at 1/125 seconds or faster. The menus of the two cameras are similar so it is easy to switch between them.I discover from the internet that it is perfectly okay to keep a finger pressed on the popup flash so it doesn't pop up when you don't want it to. From what I read, this doesn't hurt the flash and it removes an annoying design flaw.I have tested it extensively against the Sony wx9 on still photos and find the sx 230 hs to be considerably sharper and have more consistent proper exposure.I find the sx 230 hs access to aperture priority and shutter priority and exposure compensation to be major assetsAll in all, I like this camera very much and recommend it for someone looking for a compact digital camera. I am planning to use it as a take everywhere with me camera. I have found that cameras that are even smaller, like the sony wx9 and the canon elph 300 hs are too small to be ergonomically confortable.Hope this helps with your decision.

If you, like me, are thinking about getting this because of the GPS functionality, let me tell you: the GPS reception is poor, and the software is aweful. I would not recommend this for the GPS functionality, sad to say. Just tried using mine for the first time today, and not a single picture got GPS coordinates. I tried the map software when I got home, and the GPS logger had logged partial tracks. So I tried to export the logs to google earth so I could match it to the closest location of the images, but the software was buggy giving me errors when trying to export the logs: Can't save the google earth file in a system folder, removable disk, network, or a file with a filename that's too long. However, I tried saving it in the default location *it* suggested. This is for osx.I have had one of these which has been awesome: i-gotU USB GPS Travel & Sports Logger - GT-600battery life on it is phenomenal too. I guess I'll have to keep using this instead.

Canon needs to stop putting these weak little batteries in thier cameras! It's just not fitting! The SX230 HS sucks up power from that small battery like a drunk at the end of prohibition! They use the same battery that comes with the SX210 IS and it was insufficent on that camera. The SX230 HS is even more power hungry if you are using the GPS for geotagging. I was thinking about taking this camera to Africa with me but I have serious concerns about its rate of power consumption. I may need to three batteries insure I have atleast one that is good to go at all times.The GPS is sometimes a little slow to aquire a fix outside and offers a rare treat if it picks up your position inside. The indoor GPS performance is well within what I expected. If GPS is on your A list of requirements, Panasonic models with thier built-in geolocation database is better. The GPS implementation is sort of a tack on that Canon put little extra effort into.At the end of the day, the SX230 HS is a camera so that's the most inportant thing here. The images are good. I was mildly surprised but it will never replace a Canon S95 (which I do have). The 12MP SX230 HS seems to retain about the same level of detail as the 14MP SX210 IS in low light conditions at ISO 800. I also own the SX210 IS. The SX230 seems to be slightly more light sensitive but seems to have more agressive noise reduction than the SX210. The SX210 preserves detail at the expense of more noise. The SX230 also seems to suffer more from color de-saturation at ISO 800 than the SX210 IS. If you think the GPS, faster burst frame rates, full HD and cleaner look at base ISO are important, the the SX230 HS a worthwhile upgrade. Go for it. Otherwise, there just isn't enough newness here to jump on.I would say that I'm generally satisfied with the SX230 HS and it competes well with other cameras in this segment. Not everything is for everyone.

Just took this camera on a National Geographic cruise to the Galapagos and I was extrememly satisfied. With the 14x zoom, I got pictures the point and shooters didn't, including such good stabilization that I got decent shots off a moving zodiac and while trying to track flying hawks, etc. Also, as a more compact camera, I got shots that folks with their big ole 400 lenses couldn't because I could track it faster and get much closer. Overall, this is a perfect all around camera and should be in your pocket even if you have a more serious camera for the special shots. Colors were crisp and exposure compensation and other 'easy' adjustments were very natural, and again, the stabilization is fantastic even with gloomy or misty environments. With proper compensation and the stabilization to take out the blur, I almost never needed flash until the sun was completely gone.Other high points are the separate video button for being able to instantly switch gears, a good continuous drive mode (lots of shots in a row), and the very intuitive and easy photo review ability.Highly recommended.

So far so good. We are getting use to the power shot. battery life is good, averaging 7+ hrs but we have a extra one for backup. There are a lot of options not so easy to figure out but the easy functions work awesome and the shutter is fast. We use this on a motorcycle and point and shoot is fast and never miss a shot like our last camera. The zoom is superb for a camera this size. The only down side is the memory card has a bad habit of scrambling pic's, about 1 of every 20. Not sure what to do as we purchased a high powered memory card as was required.

Was jacked to receive my new compact camera, one that would replace my Canon SD950IS. This is a disappointment. Set on Auto, the pics are out of focus a majority of the time. Who cares about battery life when the pictures aren't clear? When I went looking for a new camera, I focused (sorry for the pun) on picture quality. This camera seemed to be the highest rated in that respect. I so wish I had the Sony Cybershot I gave to my brother-in-law 5 years ago. That sucker took great pics. I think it was the Zeiss lens. What to do. My boys are growing up too fast to have a poor camera around to record their life events.

I love Cannon. Have had nothing but Cannon digital cameras and needed an upgrade for my point and shoot (have film and digital Cannon SLR's as well.)When I got this i took it on a camping trip right away.First problem - battery dies almost at once. Charge it fully and drive a few hours and its dead with in the first 20 pic's. Good thing i can use the battery from my old camera in this one.... that may have been a fluke, but still a pain in the butt.Second, when I got home a lot of the pic's have focus problems. This is a point and shoot. I don't want to spend a lot of time managing or worrying about the focus.Third, was not really happy with the low light performance.On the good side the video I shot with it was pretty good.I liked the idea of GPS, but no chance I would ever use it. Because I was worried about the battery, I turned it off right away... so whats the point of paying for it?Overall, I think they missed the mark on a bunch of areas - I returned the camera and am now looking at the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 for $100 less. maybe I will do a review of that soon :)

So I won't go into detail on why I chose this camera...basically the same reasons as most. I received my new camera and LOVED it. Great looking photos, easy operation, impressive features...the works. Then, a couple of weeks later, the automatic lens cover got stuck and wouldn't open or close all the way (with no abuse, I was very careful with it). I thought it must be a fluke. I returned the camera to Amazon for a replacement. Always excellent customer service from Amazon had a new camera at my door within 2 days and off I went, snapping pictures again. UNTIL...about 3 weeks later, SAME PROBLEM. Now, I know people will think I wasn't careful with the camera or I didn't keep it clean...but I was and I did. When I contacted Amazon again for a replacement, they chose instead to provide me a full refund. Strangely, the email said that this model camera would not be available for purchase through Amazon as they investigated the possibility of a defect. However, I never saw the camera go unavailable. I suspect somebody at Amazon thought of me as a high risk camera owner or something and didn't want to send me third camera. They were completely polite and professional, I can't complain about a full refund. I'll be purchasing a different model of camera after more research. As great as it was, the lens cover problem makes it an expensive paperweight for me.Pros: camera features, picture quality, zoom, ez menuCons: battery life (even with GPS off, an extra battery is a must), automatic lens cover defect

It comes in pink for my beautiful wife, and it takes absolutely outstanding pictures. I have been a photography enthusiast forever and I buy new gear every year or two. This is currently our pocket bring everywhere camera. Like about everybody else the thought of lugging the big dslr around when kickin it about on vacation or at events is not always pleasant, convenient, or possible. BUT when I press the button I want the best pictures possible from whatever type of gear I`m using. To save everybody a bunch of time, this tiny pocket rocket does the trick, and I looked at and read EVERYTHING before I bought it. The only often mentioned bitch is the pop up flash location.
