    Perfect combo of size and features!
    rating

    Great camera! Great battery life! Amazing features!

    For anyone who is tentative about this camera b/c other reviewers claim that the features are lacking...put your reservations aside! I will say that the manual is a bit lacking--it does mention all of the features but it definitely doesn't explain how to use them or the extent of their use as well as it could. So, you will need to devote some time to playing with the camera and the manual to figure out exactly what the camera can do and how to do it.

    I will say that this is not a point and shoot camera...I mean, it does point and shoot exceptionally well! However, the artistic features of this camera is what really makes it spectacular! Sepia, B&W, single color, enhanced color, contrast, manual settings, etc.

    Anyway, great camera!

    Great camera
    rating

    Canon never disappoints me. If you want to get a nice digital camera this is one of the best, if not the best, from the Power-shot series. Battery life is pretty good, the image quality looks great. If you know how to set it up to the Manual setting correctly, the images look like professional pictures. Since, I haven't played with it yet, (one of my photographer friends put the settings on the Manual), I go with Auto, which automatically chooses the best setting for the picture. Very good camera and convenient to carry for traveling. I had two other Canons before, without any problems. I highly recommend.

    BEST Point & Shoot EVER
    rating

    Camera is the best point and shoot i have ever owned. I have owned two sony P&S and a canon P&S, and by far this is the best. The optical zoom is AMAZING. The 720P HD movie quality is amazing. The problem with the flash popping up is not a problem at all. It isn't even in the way. I was skeptical about people saying there is no zoom while recording a movie. They are WRONG. True, there is no OPTICAL zoom, but there surely is digital zoom, and there is NO problem with that. The digital zoom is VERY adequate. If you want a better camera for videos, go buy a camcorder. This camera is for pictures. The pictures are EXCELLENT!!! The only down side i could say is that the black is more of a dark, dark brown. I wanted a black one, but opted for the blue one, which is VERY nice. BUY THE CAMERA!
