The camera is godd, but looks very used, so, the price is normal for this product. I think that is necessary described better the product for seal, the camera worked too hard and was some hits.

I researched cameras for an upcoming trip to Italy and bought this camera for its claimed low-light quality photos, zoom, and the GPS function. It was brand new and had no reviews, so I bought it on Canon's reputation and the aforementioned features. I did not have time to use it to check out photo quality before my trip but did take a bunch of pictures. I liked the size, the zoom and the overall look, but found the buttons to be awkwardly placed, so much so that while taking pictures, I pushed various buttons unintentionally. While in Italy, I thought the GPS function was cool and could see on review of the photos on camera that it gathered all available light for nighttime pictures. If I turned the flash off, the pictures were not too dark and even though it was night my subjects were well lit. The zoom was great too, but at the time could not tell how it would affect the quality. Unlike many others, I found the battery life to be long-lasting. I did have a back-up battery but even with taking pictures from morning until night never had to use it. I don't know what others find acceptable in battery life, but I think that lasting all day is reasonable. The GPS function just knows the coordinates, not the name of the place as I have seen in other cameras. In the short term, this is okay because I remember each place, but in a few years will I still remember the location the picture was taken? I doubt it, so it would be nice to have the name of the location in the meta data, but even that is not my complaint with the camera.When I returned home to view and print pictures, I found most of the pictures to be lacking detail and crispness. They looked blurry, out of focus, and grainy. My best pictures were nighttime photos, but even some of them were blurry. I realize that I could play with the settings to try to correct this, and maybe that would help, but I bought a point and shoot so I would not have to do that. I had an almost ten year old Pentax Optio that I loved for the crisp, extraordinarily-detailed printed photos that I got but was a bit slow when taking TIFs. I really don't know what the issue is. I read on one of the reviews here about turning off the i something or another to fix overexposure and found mine to be turned off already. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really love to try them because I don't want to return it. Oh, one more thing, I also have the problem with the lens cover not closing completely.

After many disappointments in my other cameras, I feel like I've finally found the one.I do microphotography which requires much detail at a small scale and good zoom. Man this camera couldn't have been better for this... Amazing zoom, such great detail is captured that it's nearly perfect. I have been an owner of it for nearly a half year now, without any malfunctions or flaws that I can complain about. It makes me really want to give it 5 stars, I wish there was a 4 1/2 star, it deserves better than a 4 but it's not perfect.The few cons are that: - Despite the image stabilization it is recommended that a tripod be used or you won't get that amazing detail - complicating camera, which of course canons are known to be, took about a month for me to understand every little detail of this camera, user guides are good, but there's so much that this camera can do that you wouldn't want to look at the guide every time you get stumped - the fisheye features and a few others are not nearly as great as a real lens, which no one should expect, but just saying don't get this camera in hope that it will do what a real fisheye lens canThe Pros are pretty much everything else, magnificent flash, long time exposures of 15 seconds make it great for light photography, if you are a high school or college student in need of a digital camera then I highly recommend this because of it's amazing features and manual setting. If you are going out to the wild to capture the images of our amazing world then it is also great for that, just bring a tripod.This is after all my 4th camera ever owning and by far the best, Sony failed me (but their camcorders are good) as well as Kodak. This isn't the most difficult camera to use but sure is one of the best, I had 200 bills to throw out on a new camera and I am glad that I had gotten this one.

We had a camera like that before and it worked out perfectly for any picture taking. It is compact, small, and takes up less room.

Purchased this camera about six months ago, and overall have been pleased with it. This was an upgrade from a 5 year old Kodak camera, so it was obviously much better. Wanted something that could take good pictures, HD video, and have at least a 10x zoom, but still be pocketable (all at around $200). At the time of purchase the camera was below $200 with memory card and case. It went up shortly after that. I was planning on eventually getting a separate HD video camera, but the quality from this Canon camera suits my needs. It's nice to be able to go back and forth between video and camera with just the one device.As others have mentioned battery life can be an issue. I have a couple of third party batteries as backup. Video will also drain it faster. The battery life indicator is not very accurate - it only has three bars for a full charge and at times I have gone from 2 bars, down to zero without any warning. So always keep a battery with you.The GPS can also take a bit to get the location. So even though I have that enabled, if I quickly turn the camera on and take a single shot, it doesn't always capture the location. If I'm taking multiple shots, it will record the info on the subsequent pictures.I like the high speed burst, which is useful for pictures of my kids in their sports activities. It does bring the resolution down to 3MP unlike the new sx260 model - which keeps it in full resolution. But for my purposes - that resolution is ok.Overall, it's a good camera, and still haven't used all of it's features.

I have gotten so much use out of this little camera. As a point and shoot camera, It takes very good photos. It is small enough that you can carry it with ease in your purse or pocket. I am not a camera expert but I am happy with the photos from this one.

I looked through a lot of reviews and this came highly rated. However after using it for some weeks now I think a camera that cat under $100 would be probably better then this. It is very slow to actually take the shot making for missed poses. Indoor shots can be grainy. The best shots I found are macro outdoor shots. If I hadn't have kept it for so long before actually trying it out I would have sent it back.

I'm just learning how to use, and discovering all of its capabilities. In "auto" mode, its use is straightforward and easy. I'm happy with the camera, and its quality. I ordered the "red" color, as it was cheaper. "Red" is not accurate. If anyone asks me, I tell them it is my sister's camera! (I can live with the color, though, to save a few bucks.)

I got this camera after returning a Sony HX9V - and I am very happy with my choice. I still think that the Sony HX9V and Nikon 9100 run the Canon very close, but this is the best choice for me. One major criticism of the Canon is that the GPS doesn't work well - I don't use it, so no opinion. What I really wish is that Canon had offered the SX220 - the same camera without GPS - in the US! Here's what I like about the Canon:- Excellent image quality (with the exception of purple fringing)- full manual control, PASM modes (one of the main reasons I replaced the Sony)- Intuitive layout, responsive controls (especially if you've used Canons before)- Good focal range (though less than competitors)- some fun modes: I like toy camera, fish eye and color swap as toys. The high-speed video is very cool, but lo-res (VGA), which is fine with me since it's a gimmick I won't use often- good screen quality- decent low light performanceThere's things I don't like as well, though.- battery life. It's pretty weak, and the reason why I originally got the Sony. Luckily, batteries are cheap online.- the flash is very weak, and only illuminates the closest subjects. EDIT: not as weak as I thought. You can adjust flash power, but turning it up DECREASES flash power, turning it down increases it.- the flash always pops up when you turn on the camera, and it's in an inconvenient place.- the screen is 16:9 ratio - great for video, not for pictures- the video quality is ok, not great (24 frames/sec in full HD, no refocus while shooting)- deleting images takes too many button presses - a delete button would be helpfulUltimately, I think the Canon is great because of the image quality and the manual options. If you know something about photography, you will get more out of the Canon than out of the Sony or the Nikon. However, if you want a straighforward point and shoot, the Nikon is almost certainly better (though that has issues with long range autofocus and stabilization). If you want more, smarter options, the Sony is a better choice (but it suffers from slow operational speed and aggressive noise reduction - especially noticeable in portraits).In conclusion, I think the Canon is definitely a good camera, but whether it's the best for you really depends on your preferences. For me it works, though it would be much better still with better battery life, a 4:3 screen, and an extra (programmable) button (that could also be used to delete images in review mode)

I read a lot of the reviews and thought I could get past the flash popping up where your finger is placed when holding the camera. I am used to it now but really don't care for that. I ordered this because I wanted a camera that had less depth for ease of carrying in my purse. It does take nice pictures.

I bought this camera last minute for a trip to Italy. I didn't want a simple point and shoot camera, but had no time to learn to use a professional either. I also wanted a good zoom and light weight. This camera was great. I loved the 14X zoom and it was super light. With all the things I carry around while doing the touristy stuff, I really didn't want a heavy camera to weigh me down. I wore this camera around my neck the whole trip and it was light.Pro- I love the picture quality. All my pictures came out great. The colors were vivid. I love it! I'm not a professional, but as long as it looks great to me, then that's all that matters!- great night/low light feature! The pictures came out really clear. I tested it on Christmas lights as well and the pictures came out perfect!- Great zoom! There were lots of cute architectural features I loved during my trip in Italy, this camera allowed me to zoomed in and get a close up at the amazing details!Edit: we took a pix of the moon one night and it was like a poster pix! You can even see the crescent on the moon and some of the details!Con- Battery life is REALLY SHORT!!! When I bought this camera, I read that battery life is short so I bought an extra battery with me to the trip. But I didn't expect it to be that short!!! After one morning of taking pix, the battery already run out!!! I was more careful after replacing it with the spare battery so it was able to last the rest of the day. However, I would strongly recommend having 2 spare ones with you!- GPS feature seems to take too long to load. I tried using it, but it was taking forever to get a signal. So to conserve battery, I didn't use it at all. I can't imagine how much more battery life it can use if I had the GPS feature on!- The location of the flash is inconvenient. You do get used to it after a while. But if you don't use the camera often, you will probably forget that the location of the flash is right where your finger normally goes!!!Overall, I love this camera. I wish I had waited until the price drop to buy this, but I was in a rush.

I looked for a justification for buying an SLR, but the point-and-shoots do so much. I'm amazed how the Auto mode recognizes people in the image and selects multiple focal points, and adjusts exposure time if it sees the people move. I always found the Canon SLRs to have well thought-out controls that were consistent between models, and the Canon Powershot SX230 has the same control layout. The camera is very light and compact. I took the SX230 on a trip to the Greek Islands--tricky exposures what with sun drenched seaside and plaza scenes, and dark shipboard suites. The exposures were flawless. I held the camera over my head to shoot over crowds, yet I was still able to frame the shot using the LCD in bright sunlight. The ample zoom is very useful.I believe 14X zoom is equivalent to over 300mm in a 35mm camera, yet shots with full zoom are sharp without use of a tripod.My only complaints are:(1) I would prefer the zoom lens to provide a bit more of a wide angle when "unzoomed."(2) I have to remember to manually flip up the flash if I wish to use fill-in flash, and(3) When I hold the camera, the fingers on my left hand tend to unbeknownst close the pop-up flash.Also, the zoom control is a bit coarse: sometimes I have to go in and out a few times to frame the scene just right because the zoom would go past the preferred setting. But then, I don't think I would prefer a slower zoom motor.

The main points about all their main features are as follows.Low Light: Camera does a bad job of bring detail in low light photos. Yes it brings them in well, but it desaturates those areas poorly and their is an unattractive grey tone because of it.. The camera would be better off shooting raw and having the user adjust tones in easy free programs like Picasa and iphoto.Full HD: Actually this was pretty good. Video and images are very clear and high quality when you are shooting in good to great conditions. Maybe a bit saturated, but I can fix that in post if it really bothers me, and it hasn't yet.GPS: Drains the battery and camera loses all power from a full charge within 2 hours, even if you take only a few pictures and are not using the GPS logger. When you turn off the camera and turn it back on, it will take 2 minutes to find the GPS signal at best. It is not worth the time and battery suck.Zoom: Worked well and is fast, but if you want a smaller increment of zoom, you will be going in and out to get it to where you want it.Screen: Nice size and vivid.Many other features of this camera are as worthless as the GPS because they drain the battery too fast.Because we bought this as a point and shoot and spent extra to have the GPS feature, we feel a bit like it wis not worth it. Do not buy this camera for the GPS feature. And even if you don't use the GPS, still get a back up battery. Search the other reviews on this camera for the word battery and you will see what I mean.

I bought two of the above cameras in a rush around Christmas. I accidentally purchased two, I am human and fallible. I have asked for a refund well w/i the return dates. They are vendors through Amazon.com. Amazon will no longer be carrying them. I have spoken to many cust. service reps. and they agree not to carry vendors who are dishonest, under-handed, greedy and care nothing for Amazons customers. This vendor will return the camera for a 20% re-packing fee. It was never opened. 20% is approx. $45-50 dollars. Highway robbery and GREED!! The other camera, also not open, is being charged a 5% re-packing fee. These are the low-lifes who can't make it on their own so charge exorbitant fees to make a buck. Don't use them!! They are frauds, dishonest, immoral, unethical, greedy...the list can go on and on!

I used to like point and shoots. This was my last. I spent good money ($350) for this camera and wasn't overly impressed. The 14x zoom was one of the biggest selling points for me. But the ease of use for manual operations wasn't very good and not matter what I did in manual operations it seemed to make the shot worse. I never felt in control of this camera and the manual operation features, although rich, never made a picture better for me.

This is an absolutely great camera. It has a wonderful ultra-zoom, takes great pictures, does excellent video, is easy to use, and even has a GPS which works about as well as one can expect for a GPS. The only problem is its lens protection mechanism. I received one of these for Christmas. By mid-January the lens protector flaps were sagging and would not open all the way. I returned the camera to Amazon and got another. By mid-July the second camera was losing control of its lens protectors, so I'm going to see if I can get a warranty repair.I carry this camera with me in a belt case, so it is safely secured to my waist and always protected. It's not flopping around on a clip or something. I've used a similar case for maybe eight years now, and my earlier cameras lasted for years. In fact, they still work fine, though they're a bit dated in features.I'll see what Canon says when I send it in for repair. I've never owned a camera with a 2.5 month mean time between failure before. Maybe they'll fix it, and I'll get lucky. The new SX260 looks great, but if it is as unreliable as its predecessor, I'll have to go with another brand.UPDATE - It lasted another two months. I sent in back in for warranty repair, and to Canon's credit, they returned it in working order at no additional charge. Still, it really should be a bit more robust. I'll see if my new extra, extra cushioned case keeps it running longer.

I am an avid Canon point and shoot user. This is my 3rd Canon. I was replacing my Powershot SD800, which was a wonderful camera, took amazing photos, but didn't have the zoom I wanted/needed. It also lacked in the low light arena. I purchased the SX230 last summer, shortly after it came out, expecting the amazing photos I always get from Canon, plus the bonus of the zoom and low light capabilities. Well, I've given it a year, tried different settings, and no matter what I do, I cannot get as good of images as I got on my old SD800. The photos come out dull and not crisp. It also seems slower to me. I'm very disappointed. I'm considering replacing it with the SX260 since it got great reviews -- I would love to hear from someone who has compared the cameras in Auto mode (which is what I use most) to see if it would be an upgrade for me. (Or in general, please comment if you know of a compact camera with a good zoom that takes amazing auto photos.)

I like this camera.Several years ago, I dragged my digital SLR on a trip to Scotland along with the lenses. Made a lot of excellent shots. Now, we're going to Germany, and I'll be damned if I'm going to haul all that equipment around.Purchased this camera after a lot of research. Wanted the best camera I could get in a small form factor. Higher-end cameras are out there, but they're larger in size than what I wanted: slim, light, small. The SX230 fits the bill.Shot quality is good - better than I expected; not quite as good as my DSLR setup with a lens that by itself costs twice what this camera costs, but still very good. Very little distortion even at the extreme ends. No chromo weirdness. No purple fringes at telephoto on fine details.Wide array of capabilities - beginners can shoot good pix, more learned users can make choices, advanced shooters can access lots of control. The SX230 is a descendant of the good old Canon Powershot 95 by way of the SX 210, which is a pretty good lineage - the 95 was and is a workhorse backup to many a DSLR. For that matter, the 95 is still an excellent choice and well worth looking into.PROS: Small, lightweight, excellent shot quality, HD movies, easy to access menus. You don't need to study the camera to use it. (I ruled out my second choice partially because it had a 'cheat-sheet' offered.) Auto, Program, and Manual modes are very good. It slips easily into a class 30 Lowepro case that fits on a belt. (Somebody out there recommended a class 10; don't believe it.)CONS: Some reviews out there complain about battery life. So what. If you're a casual shooter, one battery is fine. If you want to do more, get a spare. If you want to shoot all day and do movies, get two spares. End of story.No RAW mode. This camera is just below the price point that gets gets you RAW/TIFF format, but if that's a problem then you need to be looking further up the food chain anyway.The flash pops up automatically when the camera is turned on, which seems to really bother some people. The flash is weak. As stated, it pops up no matter what. What's with this, Canon? The camera does everything else well on its' own, but it just has to pop up the flash no matter what. Maybe it matters. Who knows?Allegedly, the back-lit CMOS sensor and firmware allow low-light shooting w/o flash in many cases. I don't often do those shots so I wouldn't know. The few shots I've done in low light were nothing to brag about. Get a monopod or maybe a tripod if you want to shoot at the long end, either pix or moviesBOTTOM LINE: I'm happy with it, more than I expected to be - the build quality is good but not heavy and the camera does what its' designed to do very well. A larger grip on the right side would be welcome. If you want more, pay more. If you want less, then pay less.FEU

First, the battery dies very quickly, especially if you leave the GPS on (and to be fair, the instructions do tell you to turn it off - but even if you turn the camera off, apparently the GPS stays on)). But most importantly, the lens cover will not close or open completely unless it's manipulated. If you forget to open completely with your fingers, you end up with part of the lens cover in the upper corner. But it does take terrific pictures.....

There are plenty of other reviews here that list settings and results with the camera, so I will keep mine simple. I purchased this camera to fill a need for something small that can be put into tight spots (indoors, stage, etc.) I also have some work coming up with canoes on the lake and moving vehicle footage. Tested the camera last night, great for photos. The menu is a little out of touch with the modes when going from video to still shots. I set the video format I wanted in the video mode, then swapped to the photo effects mode and hit the record button when testing different results. On the other modes, everything seems to go back to "Auto" when you hit the video record button. Not being able to dial in some of these things (ISO, AV, TV) will limit you, but you can always go into video mode and adjust the exposure bar for some help when shooting in HD. My test for motion was simple, clamp mount and bean bag in my SUV. This is the same set up used for the goproHD, Xacti-VPC20, T3i, T2i, and larger camcorders I have tested in the past. The SX230 was set up the same way, with IS on, and at 1280x720 30p with a class 10 SDHC card. Movement seemed to be a problem. On slow wide turns the camera could not keep the video clear. On the road, even on a smooth surface, 30MPH, and coasting (the money shot) the footage bounced up and down like I was on a gravel road. This does not say anything bad about the camera, just that it has limitations and I will go with another that is much stronger for these conditions. On a plus side, when the camera is stationary or handheld, I found it to work well within the range to produce quality video. The miniature feature (tilt-shift-toy car) was really amusing and produced great results as well as the straight HD video at 24p and 30p while stationary.

I have owned many point and shoot cameras. More recently, my experience in P&S has been with Panasonic Lumix cameras. I've used Panasonic Lumix because of the advantage they had over other brands to provide high-quality shots in low light, which is one of the reasons to buy a particular point and shoot camera (or any camera for that matter).My other camera is a Canon DSLR, with expensive L lenses, so I am not a novice. However, this camera is used by both my wife, who is a novice and myself. This means I am familiar with photography in general, and Canon cameras on the high end. We wanted a point and shoot to take the camera places where the DSLR was just not practical (think Disneyland) and to be my wife's every day camera when the cell phone camera just doesn't cut it.Requirements: 1) full auto mode; 2) wide focal range; 3) fast shutter; 4) low noise in low light. The fact that a camera had GPS was a bonus, as we love this capability in iPhoto.The good:Full auto mode: the mode my wife shoots in. Excellent shots in both day light and low light. Simple enough that it makes all of the decisions for the photographer: variable focal point, auto ISO, the camera only fires the flash when it needs to. I actually prefer that, as I like photos to be in natural light as much as possible. The camera is also generally pretty responsive. The thing I hate the most about point and shoots is that "wait" for the camera to be ready to shoot. It's still there, just not as bad as I've seen before. Video is also generally of good quality at 720p.Manual modes: leave it to Canon to provide Aperture and Shutter priority modes! This is where I play on the DSLR, and I love the fact that it is there. Especially when I want to create that shallow depth of field look of an open aperture.The bad:The controls can be somewhat confusing, even for an "expert." I discovered quite by chance that the selection wheel was more than arrow keys. It actually turned! Turning on GPS took me 3 days of shooting to figure out it was off! You need to manually enable the GPS locator. And then, when it is on, it only works when the camera is being used with a clear line of site to the satellites. It just doesn't work indoors. 1080p video is somewhat shaky and bad in low light. I'd stick to recording in 720p. You will need a large SD card to have plenty of room to record high quality video and stills (I ordered a 32GB card with the camera).All in all, probably the best point and shoot in the compact size and low price range today (summer 2011). A tad bit bigger than the Panasonics, but probably has the most complete feature set today. Useful for both novices and experts.
