I am not a photo buff and expect that a point and shoot will take much of the need to think about which settings will be required to turn out an ok or even good photo... this camera fails to deliver.I purchased this camera late in the summer (at the full price of $329) prior to an international trip and used it extensively... only I discovered quickly that without fail, outdoor photos would come out very washed out (regardless of amount of light), while indoor shots would, without fail come our blurry & grainy.Not long after returning to the states one of the lens cover (ie bits of plastic which automatically cover the lens when the camera is off) became jammed... either it would not open or close fully (depending on where it started). I've owned a few cameras in my day... never once has this happened to any other and they have been far more used and abused than this one.Being under warranty I mailed in the camera for service of the lens issue, but also reported the image quality issues. 15 days after USPS confirmed delivery they finally opened the box and confirmed their receipt of it. Several calls during that window turned up little information, other than one combative & abusive 'support' rep who repeatedly said that USPS frequently 'lies' to customers about when packages are delivered.When the service was done I did not get an email. Only by randomly looking at the tracking website did I see that they had completed repairs and mailed it back.Upon receiving my 'repaired' camera back, I was infuriated to see that the image quality issues remain. Later when I received the typical survey emails about my support experience, I shared my extremely negative feedback and much to my surprise, no one there has yet to attempt any sort of follow-up to try to get to the bottom of what the issue is.If I wanted to tweak every setting under the sun to take a decent photo I would do so... I explicitly purchased a highly rated point and shoot so that I would not have to.I'm told that Canon makes good DSLRs... I cannot speak to that. All I know is that I regret ever buying this camera, let alone doing business with Canon as they demonstrated time and time again that they are not serious about making a quality point and shoot, let alone standing by their product.While I do use this camera from time to time as it's zoom is quite good... I've come to use my cell phone more often than not as it at least takes photos with a quality that is consistently better than my SX230HS.One last thing... the physical quality of the camera is also extremely lacking. The black plastic is just painted on top of a base silver layer, while the silver trim (around top & side) is just silver painted on top of black... this means that no matter where you get a small scratch or dent... the opposite color will show up, making any kind of dings far more obvious.In review:1. Photo quality is wholly dependent on luck2. Poor communication from support3. Poor choice of materials for4. Nice zoom

So if you buy this hoping for a red case camera, you will be disappointed. The color is a hot pink.The quality of the images is great. I love having a dial to change the settings quickly. Yes, for some options, like low light, I have to deal with the menu buttons.Took some great sunset images in Key West. And while no camera can capture all the colors the human eye can see, this is a point and shoot that can do a fair job at color capture. But sometimes it is a little slow in switching into or out of close up detail mode.

I broke my beloved IS210HS a couple of months ago and decided to buy another Canon product, as close to my IS210HS as possible, but cheaper. The SX230HS is a good choice. Pretty much everything that was in the IS210 is still in it, even though it's sometimes been placed somewhere else. It's just a question of going through the settings to find the old ones again.There's even a few more options that I really like, like Super Vivid (perfect to take pictures of nature, but don't forget to change it when people are in the pic, because they end up really orange or red), or Toy Camera Effect.The position of the flash is no problem to me at all as it used to be the same with the IS210. It's just a question of habit. I do dislike the new way to erase pictures, though. It adds one more step to the process, which might not seem like much but is still a bit irritating. Nothing major, though.Other than that, I'm a bit sad that they went from 14 to 12.1 MP.All in all, a very very good product. The only thing that makes it not perfect is that it's not my lovely IS210HS. (Then again, maybe I shouldn't have dropped it in a puddle of sea-water...)

I know a bit about cameras but I am by no means a professional at all. My review will not be quite as thorough or in depth as others, but I still feel I should contribute my opinion! Most of the digital cameras I have owned over the years have been sub $150 Kodaks and whatever was cheapest at the time. With my main purpose for taking pictures being of friends and family events for Facebook, I didn't really need anything that great. Well, becoming a concert addict and just generally desiring a better quality picture than I'd been achieving previously, I turned to the hunt between Canons and Nikons, as well as some dabbling in the Panasonic, Olympus etc. Between the Canon Elph 300 hs, The Nikon S8100 and S9100, Panasonic something-or-others, I chose this camera. Mostly for the CMOS censor which helps in low light, and the super-zoom.Pros:Zoom is fantasticFull HD videoSmallGPS if you like that sort of thing (I don't really need this but the other version of this without the GPS costs MORE on Amazon...)Takes decent action picturesTakes decent low light picturesPop-up flash, doesn't create annoying shadowsThe screen is pretty niceIn-camera editingMany features and settings (low light, beach, foliage, kids&pets)Other settings that can be tampered with on one's own (aperture, ISO)Cons:The battery life isn't THAT bad... but not great either. Buy a spare. Mine will usually get me through the day though if I'm not taking pictures every five seconds. Maybe 200-300 photos a day, depending? That's more than fine for the average person. If you plan to use this camera for festivities or concert events, bring an extra battery pack or two with you! You can get generic ones that work just as well for much cheaper than the name brand.Makes noises that sometimes concern me... I know that auto mode and autofocus can cause cameras to make clicking sounds.. but it's still something to be weary ofOn occasion it will not focus right... especially if it's a scene that has a LOT of light to it, i.e. fire, the sky... it can really wash out the colors, no matter what setting you're using. This is inconsistent, as it's not always a problem but it's a bummer when it happens. I don't really know how to explain this in camera-savvy terms, since I am as I said, nothing near a professional, which is why I bought a p&s in the first place! :PGPS sucks out battery life super fast when you do use it.It could be a little bit faster.This is definitely a good choice for mid-ranged pocket camera, and I like my purchase overall. I would recommend to a friend.Update: I bought this camera in July of 2011. It's now February 2014. Within a year of owning the camera it started to have some issues. I get the 'busy' error message quite a bit, the lense doesn't open and shut all the way by itself, you have to manually press it open and closed after you turn it on or off, and the zoom toggle switch sticks which makes it hard to control. This was a great camera when it was brand new, but after a year it started to have a lot of difficulties. I barely use it now, to be honest. I do still like the camera more than its competitors despite the issues I've had. It continues to take high quality pictures and more than decent low-light video, so I would still recommend looking into it, especially now that it's cheaper than when I bought it. When I eventually bite the bullet and replace it (it's expensive for a point and shoot, but it does provide some pretty high quality pictures!) it will most likely be another Canon.

I love this camera by Canon! I got one for my husband a year and a half ago and it turned him into an amazing photographer. I just had to get one for myself. I enjoy taking pictures as the features are so easy to use. This camera is so user friendly. It is one of my best purchases. The whole transaction and delivery was perfect.

I debated back and forth, S100, S95 or this SX.. the price difference was close to the S95 but the longer zoom was a big plus.After playing with the camera for a month, sadly i find myself looking longingly at my sd1100 and the S95. while the 230 has a much longer zoom, its lens is poor. offering an extremely shallow depth of field range of f3.1-f8..nope, no f11,f16, or f22..so that aperture priority setting is worthless, with the lens fully open you can only adjust by 2 f stops (f8). zoomed in, and you have no choice but 5.6 or f8. this seriously degrades the perception of sharpness in images. if you want a relative blurred out of a group photo, you don't have to have them sit back too far before they are out of focus. macro takes more time to hunt than other canons and sometimes it thinks it is focused on something but its not...i expected this from other manufacturers but this is NOT what i've come to appreciate about canon P&S's. images are soft, too soft and some of that comes from compression (max setting 4:3 file size is 4 megs, 16:9 2 megs if you are lucky, can we say serious compression?), as seen by the great number of compression artifacts at max quality..max being fine, as super or uncompressed quality does not exist in this cam. (again these are features and qualities that the sd1100 provides in spades) GPS worked fine and location finding was reasonable. BUT, in order to access the gps on/off or logging, you have to dig into the tools menu..the lower control wheel now has two menus, one is accessed by the slight touching of the wheel, the other by the full press. problem: right hand holding has your thumb meat resting above this, so the menu gets activated while trying to shoot. zoom is very slow, it can be sped up by fully pushing or pulling the zoom lever fully but takes effort and feels like your are pushing on it harder than it was designed to, i can forsee this wearing out or failing very very quickly. the camera is pretty heavy, but the overall construction is pretty solid feeling. the grip is terrible with the lens shifted to the left far enough to prevent the usual 2thumb pinch holding position of so many other P&S's. after awhile you get used to cradling the lens barrel but not good for those spontaneous photos on a tour as the bus passes something neat. again the sd1100 beats it here too. i think the worst part is the video..shoot at 1080p and you think cool!...then you try to open the file....quicktime movie format! ugh....can we say always has always will be the worst video codec out there? dropped frames at the camera level, no surprise considering the file format. various class speed cards did not resolve, 720p ok,but 1080p forget it...what bone head decided to change to .mov instead of the ubiquitous standard of avi?ending comments. if you want a good and reasonably priced camera get one of the canon SD or S lines and opt for the 5x zoom, keeping the beautiful focus speed, macro and lens quality. if you want a longer canon quality zoom with a full feature set, this doesn't have it....

This camera is great if you want a nicer camera, but aren't ready to buy a DSLR. I owned this camera before deciding to finally purchase a Canon t3i, and I was very satisfied with the pictures that this camera produced.

Love this camera! I am not camera savvy, so I wanted something that I could carry in my purse that would take pictures of my kids in action and not turn out blurry all the time. My husband help me search and search (he is much more camera knowledgable than me). The first time I took this camera out and took pictures of my kids on the merry-go-round at the playground, they turned out perfectly clear! I have taken lots of pictures and blown them up to 8x10 etc and they look great. Nice clear photos. Very happy with my purchase.

Good telephoto, good macro, focuses fast. Decent range of Manual controls - though once you go out past 1 second the ISO range is limited. Nightphoto feature almost works - at least you get an image and it tells the story.

If you're looking to use this for a lot of video you may be disappointed. Filming a quiet scene there seems to be internal feed back of sorts. If you're filming out of doors the microphone is highly sensitive and picks up breezes easily as well as any hand movements touching the camera. That's about the only annoyance, but a big one for us since we like to take videos often.

The Canon PowerShot SX230 is an all around great camera to add to your bag for light travel. The image quality is very good. I was pretty surprised at how good the pictures came out. This won't replace a DSLR but if your just taking vacation photos or family events and don't want to break out all your gear then get this camera. I have recommended this camera to 2 other people who eventually purchased it and they were very satisfied. My only complaint is how easy it is to block the flash. It is a very easy to use camera and the features are excellent.

I ordered this camera when I had my son to take pictures of him growing up. I wanted something small and lightweight but still with good quality in picture taking. I have been very pleased with this camera the picture quality is good, the battery lasts, and the zoom is just right.

My husband and I LOVE this camera! We wanted to upgrade from a Canon Powershot A620, and tried (and were extremely disappointed with) both the Nikon L105 and the Canon ELPH 300 before giving this camera a shot. After being so disappointed by the ELPH 300 (which sounded like such a GREAT camera and has such a large volume of positive reviews, yet every picture we took was soft and grainy no matter how much we played with the settings), I was about ready to give up on getting a camera at this point because there didn't seem to be any great, affordable options. However, after seeing the photos taken with this camera that were uploaded by other buyers, I decided I had to give this camera a shot and see if the uploaded photos and reviews were accurate. Let me tell you, they are. Unlike the Nikon L105 and the Canon ELPH 300, this camera takes crystal clear photos that are not at all soft or grainy; and that's even with the zoom fully extended! Many of these photos have even been taken in low-light settings or settings with no natural light.I was hesitant to spend this much on a camera because I really wanted to stay closer to $100, but I decided that I would be willing to spend a bit more as long as I absolutely loved the camera. I absolutely love this camera. It feels like a huge upgrade from my Powershot A620 which is a decent point-and-shoot but about 6 years old (the Nikon L105 and Canon ELPH 300 definitely did not feel like a big enough upgrade to justify spending $100+); and even though I think $188 is pricey for a point-and-shoot (though $188 is a great deal for what amazon says is a $300 camera!), I definitely feel like it is worth the money. I am by no means an experienced photographer, but this camera is giving me exactly what I want: it takes great, clear photos off the bat, and I can already start to see how taking it off auto and manually changing the settings improves the quality even more. This seems like the perfect camera for both people who don't want to mess around with the settings at all but still get good photos, and people who want to start learning how to manually compose a photo without committing to an expensive DSLR.This camera is heavier than I expected, but not so heavy that I don't want to take it with me places. The pop-up flash is mildly irritating, but I tend not to use the flash, anyway, so when I do forget to hold the camera the "right" way and prevent the pop-up flash from popping up it really doesn't matter. I also don't think it's terribly awkward to hold the camera when the flash IS up, but maybe that's because reading all the reviews prepared me for that. We have the GPS feature turned off (so I can't speak for the quality of that feature), and the battery life has been great/reasonable in my opinion. We still have a full charge and if I had to guess, I'd say we've taken around 100 photos the last several days.

I've had this camera for a couple of years now and it has been really awesome. I turn off the GPS and have never used it. I believe it uses batteries faster with the GPS on. I love the 14X zoom that works even in movie mode.The only negative is that my wife also likes my camera (better than hers), and keeps borrowing it.

My wife's loves this one for vacations or dinners when she does not want to bring her big camera. You still can do a lot of manual adjustments wih this one if you know how to. The GPs is fun but did not always work in Vietnam. Would not buy it for this but other than that this is another great canon camera!

Pros: Zoom is pretty strong. Battery Life is decent if you are not taking video. Dive case works ok.Cons: Images are blurry and not sharp. If you drop the camera it takes a lot of damage and not rugged at all. GPS usually works but not always, and can take a while of leaving on to track. Recording video will kill the battery in about 15 minutes.Conclusion: I expected more from Canon. This camera is mediocore. If it wasn't for the really strong zoom i'd just use my iphone. Quality and control of iphone 5 and later is about same. Unless you want to go diving with it.

Pros:Great in low light, the HS system works.Relatively low in noiseCrisp large LCD.Plenty of zoom.Plenty of Auto and Manual modes for everyone to play with.Solid body construction.Geotagging capabilityBright flash (adjustable)Accurate white balance except for flashCons:Flash popup mechanism needs redesign (and better instructions in manual).Hard to grip due to massive screen and button layout.Battery life (partially due to default settings)For manual modes: Not all settings are retained when turned off (metering mode, macro focus)Conclusion:Great travel camera to carry around. This camera works well in low light. Under bright conditions, every once in awhile theres tendency to overexpose by 1/3 of a stop. No biggie. Most consumers wont even know what Im talking about right now and just say the photo looks great cuz everything is well lit. 12mp is more than enough, I wish it was 10mp so the HS system works even better in low light. All the features work on on the camera, refer to your manual tho as some features are a little hard to figure out at times. I've owned 3 DSLRs, and 6 point and shoot cameras including the s95, and this has to be the hardest canon to figure out. So check your manual. The sx230hs is really the jack of all trades camera. It has every conceivable feature available on the market today for a point and shoot: GPS, CMOS HS system, massive zoom, truck loads of scene modes, manual modes, massive bright LCD etc, but you pay the penalty in battery life for all these features.To improve the battery life, turn off: continuous AF, servo AF, continuous IS. These aren't really needed unless you do sports. And if you REALLY want to do sports photography, you need another camera. You can also switch to center point AF to also improve battery life to stop the camera from attempting to focus. Reduce the brightness of the LCD will help battery. If you plan to travel, get a 2nd or 3rd battery. Generics are cheap. Just be careful of boot leg canon batteries. A $10 generic will work better than a $30 fake.For the design issue, im not sure i know why Canon flips out the flash each time you turn the camera on, seems like an unnecessary design issue. You can lower or open the flash manually yourself with your finger. You can also hold down the flash while the camera starts up. This is not super clear in the manual, but people who owned this series of cameras said its fine. While there are manual modes, the camera still wants to work in auto, for example, when you change certain settings that Canon thinks that are only used occasionally such as macro mode or spot metering, it resets back to default focus and evaluative metering when turned off. while i agree that most ppl will not use these settings a lot, sometimes i want to have those settings set so i wont have to adjust my settings each time i start up.Final thought: Overall its a good compact travel zoom camera with amazing low light capability.

Bought this a couple years ago and like it very much. Takes good quality pics, fits nicely in my hand, has lots of options. Downside, does not take the best pics in the dark and the flash is not in the best place (my finger closes it). Battery is good and holds it charge. The zoom is great.
