Obviously not going to get SLR quality images out of a compact, but this one does well. The shots up to 400iso look great, and 800 ISO is useful for smaller prints, which is impressive for a compact. The videos in 1080p look AMAZING, though it gets lots of wind noise even with the wind filter on.I love the zoom range and that it fits in my pocket. This is replacing a Panasonic FZ-28 for me, which was a lot bigger camera with 18x zoom. The lens is a bit smaller on the SX230, so the f-stop isn't quite as good, but it makes up for it with the MOS sensor, and gives pretty impressive shots in a wide range of lighting, though I haven't pushed it in low light or with the flash (I'm very happy with outdoor shots). There is a little bit more barrel distortion at the wide end than I am used to, I'll probably try shooting a little bit zoomed in to avoid that.The flash popping up every time you turn it on is a little bothersome, I typically forget and have my finger there so it can't pop out. So far the mechanism seems designed to tolerate fingers, and you are able to open and close it manually. I figure the worst that will happen is the auto mechanism will break and I'll just have to open it manually when I want to use it - no biggie, but at least then it won't pop out every time I turn the camera on!The Lowepro Santiago 20 is the perfect size case for this camera. It has hard sides, fits in my pocket nicely, and there is a little pocket that fits an extra battery - it sits nicely next to the lens cylinder so as to not make the overall package any wider.

I specifically purchased this camera because it had all the features I wanted which are:1) Compact2) At least 12x optical zoom3) Takes good pictures in low light4) HD 1080p videoThis camera delivers on all of them. I just took it with me on a vacation in San Diego and Atlanta and it performed beautifully. I took a land sea tour where the bus drives right into the water. While driving to the harbor I was taking scenic outdoor pictures and sometimes zoomed up close. Even though the ride was bumpy I got very good pictures. I thought I would see a lot of blurring but I did not even while the bus was moving. I took videos while moving and they came out great.I also took a lot of low light indoor pictures in the Georgia Aquarium and they came out great. I did not see any grainy pictures you typically get in low light conditions. Even the videos in low light came out very nice.If you have the GPS feature on it will eat up your battery very fast. I chose not to turn on this feature so I don't run out of battery. I don't think it can get a GPS signal indoors anyway so I don't think it is very useful.I was able to take a lot of pictures and video before it ran out of battery. But you should always carry a backup battery. You will also need a mini HDMI cable if you want to view your pictures and video on your TV. It worked great with no problems.

I'll let other reviews cover photo, I'm hitting the video. I like having ONE device with me to take pictures and video with.For us it's great, video is better than any dedicated video camera that doesn't cost significantly more than this still camera does. Videos are smooth due to the OIS, deals with oversaturated areas well. CMOS sensor allows great video even in low light conditions. Audio is great, microphones are on the FRONT of the camera. Microphones on the TOP of the camera don't work well for capturing sound outdoors. Wind filter is effective. It's hard to find one device that handles still pictures/video and audio well. Canon pulled it off.Cons: Battery life is short when shooting video, 45 minutes and it's done. File size is large, a 16GB card will only give an 1hr of 1080p video or 90min @ 720p. Cards aren't that expensive these days but loading the video to You tube takes awhile, even for a short clip. Sure I could take the stuff i know is going on Youtube at low resolution, but sometimes you don't know what you will end up loading.Other Thoughts: Great camera but pick up and extra battery if you will be using it for video. Take card out of camera and insert directly into card reader for speedy file transfer. The camera's USB transfer is painfully slow for the large video files this generates.

I had a SD800IS awhile back that I absolutely loved for years. I dropped it on the floor and killed the focus on it.I was excited to get the SD4000IS, which uses the HS system and had an F/2 lens, but was so incredibly disappointed with it for preferring the F/2 shots - you could never get focus where you wanted it, and the pictures always looked hazy.I decided to give Canon one more shot when I finally saw this, the XS230, with GPS in it. I was a bit hesitant with the reviews on battery life and the GPS being hard to acquire, but I figured I'd give it a shot.My notes for all to consider:1. It doesn't suffer from the focus abnormalities that the SD4000IS does. Thank goodness!2. The zoom is incredible - 14x in such a compact piece. I had considered the XS210 before, but it was too big to carry around - this camera packs it all in nicely.3. The GPS tagging is actually great - It gets about 75% of the photos I take without the logger on.4. The battery life claims I read in other reviews didn't match my experience. I was doing about 300 shots a day on a recent trip with the GPS logger on and still only saw one bar disappear from the battery indicator. Perhaps my use isn't typical though - I usually turn on, shoot, and turn off the camera. I also don't take a lot of video, though the few that I did came out nicely.5. The camera is responsive.6. The manual features are superb.7. The Flash can be disabled by actually closing it down! A lot of people complain about the location of the flash, but since it's easy to manually raise and close, I seldom found myself having an issue with it.I highly recommend this camera.

I was replacing an old digital 5Meg camera. First I bought a camera from a TV Shopping channel - a great value and zoom was 22 power. Unfortunately, what a piece of junk, difficult to operate and just impossible to focus! Then I bought this Canon from Amazon - what a PLEASURE to use! Great photos, the focus is SHARP SHARP SHARP in detail all the way from macro to max telephoto. The software is EASY to use, in fact, I'm using my old software with this new camera and it is better and easier than ever. GREAT CAMERA and well worth more money than I paid!!! Thank you Amazon and CANON! The AUTO mode actually works VERY WELL and there is also an "instructional auto" setting. Easy to understand directions on the CDRom pdf file and the directions actually make logical step by step sense. I am in love with photography again! Many advanced features I have yet to try but I have full confidence in this camera to deliver everything promised.

This camera is just about as good as an SLR I bought for quite a bit more money a few years ago, and it is small enough to fit into my (small) purse, making it handy for taking a lot of fantastic, spontaneous shots. I especially love the smile feature, have taken many good people pics with it, since it snaps 3 shots after detecting a smile. Very cool. Only issue: consider buying an extra battery you are always charging while the camera is in use. The battery seems to run down pretty suddenly and you'll want that spare. You also need to buy an SD card to go with it to store your photos. The videos it produces are stunning. Great camera.

This camera may be a good camera assuming the targeted audiance is for those who just want a point and shoot camera and really have no plans for there photos other than internet sharing. I own an upper end Canon DSLR camera and was looking for a more compact camera to use as my "take every where camera". This camera did not fit the bill. It came with a ton of features that the photo inthusist, semi-pro photographer and pro photographer would appreciate in a compact camera. the downfall is the image quality. I have taken photos in all settings this camera has to offer under differant lighting situations and every single photo comes out with to much noise to bother using for anything other than common internet sharing. The price you pay for this camera is deffinantly for all the manual options and NOT for the image quality. If your looking for the everyday point and shoot with some nice manual options then this camera is nice in that respect compared to other pocket point and shoot cameras. If your a serious about your photos and would like to utilize a point and shoot for your "take everywere camera" then save up the extra $150 bucks and buy a canon G12. I got rid of the reviewed camera here and went with a G12. Although the size of a little bigger on the G12, the image quality is actually comparable to my 7D DSLR. Had I spent no more than $200 on this powershot xs230 then my review might have been differant. For the money though, the images are quite horrible. As stated before, save up an extra $150 and get the G12. It's not a compact pocket camera but it is in the catagory of compact non SLR cameras and the images are outstanding.

Great in situations where you can get posed pictures in a reasonably close environment. Took it to a graduation event and almost every single picture, even when I used a pillar for stabilization, came out blurry - and I used the auto-focus settings. Absolutely lousy. What a disaster, so disappointed with this. Waste of money and a ruined opportunity. I should have stuck with Nikon.

I really like this camera!I am by no means a professional, or even a professional wanna-be. I hate when professionals or wanna-be's review point and shoot cameras. They are confussing and of no use to me in the reviews department.I am a mom. I want to take great pictures of my little ones. My old camera, a Nikon Cool Pix, left me with about 50% of my pictures either blurry, washed out, or too dark. And the time between shots was painfully long, which meant that I missed out on a lot from my busy little 3 year old.All of my pictures so far have turned out great. I've shot in the day and in low light, and I have not been at all dissapointed. I am very impressed with the zoom and that you can use it while shooting videos!My only hang-ups (hence the 4 stars) are that this camera is a little bigger than I had hoped (but I'm getting used to it), and the location of that dang pop-up flash! Once you figure out that you can't place your finger in the flash region while you turn it on, you're good to go. :)I did not buy this camera for the gps. I could care less that it has one, and have it disabled to save battery life. Therefore, I cannot tell you how wonderful it is or is not.If you want to take great picutes of your everyday life, this camera will do just that... And probably more.

I always check Cnet reviews before purchasing any electronics, then specific reviews such as dpreview for camera reviews. After doing this I check the customer review and then if I want and need the item I purchase it. In this case this Canon camera is simply the best small travel camera you can buy. It is idiot proof with simple settings and has the ability to have some manual control. When I do not want to lug my DSLR and a big bag, this little baby goes in my pocket. Good Shooting, Ken

I thought I was upgrading from Sony to Canon, but not with this model. The biggest problem was that there is no view finder, only a screen. This makes taking pictures with minimal contrast impossible unless you're willing to do it blind. There's no way a snow scene, for instance, can be seen on the screen. Since I live in Alaska now, this was a deal breaker for me. Add to that fact that the camera was difficult to hold because of where the various features were placed and the photos were not as crisp and well focused as I had come to expect, and this camera got returned.

Very impressed with this camera. I had purchased this camera as a backup to a DSLR camera for my work and travels I like the compact size, metal case, screen size. Image quality is the same or even better than the DSLR. The Canon shoots and captures pictures very fast. The only thing that I wish it had and many compact camera lack is an optical viewer. Dpreview.com had a comparson of this camera with three other point and shot zoom lens camera. It recommended the Canon SX230HS. I was relunctant to buy the Canon over a Nikon at first, but the reviews on Amazon, Dpreview.com and other sources pointed to this camera. The GPS function works well and transfers easily to an IMac computer and to an Ipad. Soon I will be purchasing the underwater case for this camera and try it on my next visit scubba diving in the ocean. Interesting note: I purchased on Amazon for $269. I saw it at Target for $379, Best Buy $325- buy it from Amazon- cheaper and service is great. I liked the camera so much I bought a second one for my father.

This camera has everything my non-photographic husband wanted: buttons far enough from each other for his fingers to use, quality product, no tinny or whimpy lens that emerges from the camera that gets off kilter if bumped. It also has some weight to it and for us that is good. No sliding out of pockets or off the dashboard. As you can see, we expect everything that you get out of Canon products; 14X Image, stabilized zoom, very large viewing screen. We just needed one that would also take some real life experiences and not just kids blowing out candles!

I bought this camera for my parents for Christmas and got a chance to play with it a bit. It's got a lot of nice features that I wanted but the tradeoff I think is for instance between this camera and the Fujifilm for the same price. The tradeoff being the Fujifilm does HDR/RAW images and this camera does slow motion video. Color on this camera is better at high ISO though. So for my parents this camera is great, but for myself I would probably buy the Fujifilm because I really like playing with HDR. Oh, I initially thought the dial control might be an issue but it's fantastic - it's a D-pad as well as iPod-like scrolling and it feels good. All sound and startup splash can be disabled and standard stuff like bracketing and custom timer modes are available.

I have used the camera for several weeks now and on the whole like it. However, I miss having an optical view finder which would make using it in many situations so much easier. For example, action shots, bright lighting(lots of reflection on the monitor), any time you don't want to have to hold the camera out in front of you, when you would rather not have the monitor on, etc. This is my major complaint and dissatisfaction with the camera. If you have never used an optical viewfinder this may not be a problem. Focusing can be a problem but I think with more usage I will do better with it. The video is great and easy to use. One caveat, don't try viewing it on Picasa. I would also recommend buying a semi-hard case. I initially bought a soft belt case and found that I was losing part of my picture due the lense shield not opening or closing fully. This was due to the "ring" around it bending slightly due to pressure on the case. I was able to correct it by bending it back out. Canon support was not much help. Suggested a complete reset, etc and then send it in. Not much diffferent, tho, from most support.The zoom is great and the image stabilization has also been great with the optical zoom. I would never have been able to hold my old SLR steady at that magnification.Overall I would recommend this camera to anyone that wants a small camera with lots of features and great picture quality. Using a belt case I take it everywhere which I didn't do with my SLR.

I've had several crap-tacular point & shoots before in the $100-$160 range, and decided to take a gamble on this one when the price dropped to $199.WORTH IT! This thing will astound you with how vivid the colors are in all lighting, low noise and mind-blowing zoom! The pop-up flash takes some getting used to, but its not as delicate as it feels- also, you can turn off the flash just by pushing it back down!Oh, and its full-metal construction, so its VERY DURABLE!The settings are also surprisingly easy to navigate on the fly. If your using the GPS to geo-tag pics, recommend a second battery if you're on vacation and shooting all day a lot. The batteries are on amazon for around $5, so no big expense.Oh, and did I mention that it takes full HD video just as good or better than my $500 Sony Handycam? Yeah, if you can't tell, I'm completely satisfied with this camera. 10/10

Bought this in a store after playing around with it there. When I got it home, I realized without the security handle I used to hold it in the store, it lost a lot of it's appeal.One of the biggest issues is the pop up flash on the top left corner... right where you hold it when you turn it on. I also found the small dial controls on the back of the camera to be difficult to negotiate and the menu in general, hard to use. The battery/memory card door on the bottom of the camera is very difficult to open. I also wish it had, at least, a small internal memory.I enjoyed the results I got playing around with this camera. It seems like there is a lot of potential - and I probably would get used to the location of the flash - but I will be returning mine and looking for something more user friendly.

I was looking for a compact point and shoot in the $200 range that took sharp pictures with good image stabilization. My old Canon Powershot SD750 (which I was very happy with) died recently and I needed a replacement. I tried 5 different cameras, and the picture quality on all of them was alful:1. Panasonic DMC-FH25A2. Nikon Coolpix S62003. Canon PowerShot SX230HS4. Canon PowerShot SD980IS5. Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HSThey all got returned. I finally found the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX7V and I am THRILLED with it. I never would have thought that a Sony camera would outperform comperable models from Nikon and Canon (WHAT has happened to Canon in the last few years?), but the difference is absolutely night and day.Conclusion: pass on this one and look at the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX7V. You won't be disappointed.

Being an owner of a Cannon Digital Elph, I decided to go with Cannon SX230HS over a Nikon with 24x zoom. I couldn't be happier.Right after taking out of the package I took a few test shots of my flower bed. The images came out to be unbelievable, desktop wallpaper quality. Has 1080P HD Video recording, GPS, Even played around with 240FPS high speed recording, its a lot of fun.For those complaining of the battery life,turn the GPS off or buy two additional batteries for $6 shipped like I did.Way too many functions for me to play in short amount of time I had this camera. But more I learn, more it amazes me.Will post update once I get a little more experience with this camera.So far, bottom line is... A high quality camera with decent zoom and tons of SLR like options, all in a VERY compact design (fits in your pocket or any compact camera case). Cannon rocks!

First, the good: it takes great pictures. Low light performance is the best I've ever seen in a point & shoot, so the HS system does seem to do something. The zoom worked well, even during video, though I wish it were a little wider. The instant video from any mode was a great addition, and the controls were easy to use.It did seem harder to figure out some things than on other digital Canons I've owned (about 5 PS and 2 SLRs), I had to read the manual to figure out some things.The biggest disappointment was the GPS. In addition to being a major battery drain in logging mode, it was easily confused. While it worked well in the open outdoors, it did not work at all well in a city, even in locations where my iPhone and a dedicated GPS logger were easily able to get signals. At one point I had my logger (Locosys BGT-31) showing 12 satellites in view, 8 tracked, but the SX230 was unable to get a lock after 5 full minutes. This was very disappointing, since I think the addition of GPS is something that would be really useful, or at least cool.In summary, if you're looking for a PS this size, you could do worse (though perhaps you really want an SX210)... if you're looking for a camera with good built-in GPS, look elsewhere.

Excellent picture quality and feature set but battery life is a serious problem. Have turned off GPS and lowered all display times and intensities to save on juice. Am probably only getting approx. 150-175 shots per charge. The indication of needing to charge the battery (red battery display) starts occurring before 100 shots but am able to continue shooting for quite a few shots more. You will need plenty of spare batteries. Found a Vivitar replacement battery rated at 1200mAh (as opposed to the 750mAh of the supplied Canon battery). Hopefully it will give a more satisfactory shooting life. Have not had a chance to test it yet.Received the camera from Amazon with a scratch on the display screen but it is noticeable pretty much only in bright light. That and a couple of issues in the box seem to indicate that it may have been a previously returned item. There seems to be no problems with the camera and it was sold as new with the original factory warrantee so decided to overlook this.

Canon products are great in photography!The main problem I found is the flash, its place and the way its opened is not practical!when you start the camera, the flash will open, if your finger is there then it will not come, I do not know what will happen in this case, may be one time the flash will break, or will be damaged!zoom is great, and you will feel it.quality of pictures are not that much in poor light or inside the house rooms! but outside with a sunny day it is outstanding!hope this be helpful for anyone who want to buy this product.happy days for all.

after days of review and deliberation of canon, panasonic and nikon compact cameras in this class and price range, i am choosing this one! i found a great site that reviewed them all in detail and this was the clear winner for image quality, which is really what we are all after! i am a casual photographer with two children and simply want the best images possible when outdoors, traveling and taking spontaneous shots in mixed situations. i have a nikon d200 as my "big camera" and need another to fit in my pocket when on-the-go. go visit [...] and read all of the reviews yourself. i love my nikon, but am going to give canon a shot since EVERY friend i have with a canon is in love with it. go read their reviews of "compact travel zooms" and decide for yourself!
