- great camera, but you need to know its limitations
I bought this based on Ken Rockwell's recommendation ([...]).Its a great go anywhere camera.The IS really works well and provided you keep your ISO down, image quality is very good.
However, the lack of a manual mode is a problem at times and the flash could stand to use a bit more power.
But its a great supplement to an dSLR for those moments when you just want a pocket point and shoot.

- great until the fatal E18 design flaw
I was thrilled with the camera until I encountered the E18 error that most people seem to have after about a year of owning the camera.You receive the error, completely unprovoked due to a design error in the retractable lens.I loved the camera, until this happened and Canon does not have a path to resolve the problem and will not fix it without paying an additional $250.I bought this camera due to positive reviews on Amazon, but I wish I had known earlier about this issue.

Rating: - great little camera
I love this little camera. It gets the job done that I wanted it for. I take it all over to get good pictures and long battery life.
Rating: - Best 8MP picture money can buy
First of all it is a Canon, a brand with a long history in cameras.They do not make TV's, stereos, and any other audio/video equipment. They do cameras and their optics are the best. This is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and fits perfectly in any pocket. It has the large display with the scratch proof screen which is viewable from a wide angle. There are many shooting options in Manual mode, and then for those who like to point and shoot there's the Auto. This camera has both the optical ... Read More
