Excellent camera. I was looking for a 12x zoom that would fit in my pocket, and this is it. I only wish it had a viewfinder.

I really miss the view finder. It is very hard to find moving targets using the LCD monitor. This camera is also a bit slow when taking action, like soccer photos, I rarely seem to hit the target shot.
For other types of shots this camera is great and the color is just fantastic.Like other cameras the menu gives you a wealth of possibilities, if you are an expert. I wish that the right hand grip was rough and not smooth, and the always unfolded top flash when camera is on, is a constant nuisence. The 12 power optical zoom is great.
"This thing is awesome..." 2009-10-13

I read all the reviews of this camera here on Amazon, as well as seeking out photography websites looking for recommendations for the best small point and shoot camera. Despite a few bad reviews here, everything else I saw was pretty positive, so I decided to go for it. I am SOOOOO glad I did.
From the moment it came out of the box, it was love at first site.
The display is large and clear and crisp.
The photos is takes are wonderful. I have seen low reviews talking about "noise" and "blurriness" and the only thing I can guess is that these people never took 5 minutes to figure out how to USE the camera. Set to the indoor setting, pictures taken inside are clear, crisp and brilliant. No noise. If you use the Kids&Pets mode, motion shots are almost always perfect and without blurriness. If you try and take every picture on "Auto" you are going to get a mixed bag of shots on ANY camera, that is why the camera comes with different settings.
I've also seen complaints about where the flash is and how hard the camera is to hold. It is true that when turning the camera on, the flash has bumped my finger a few times. But this is hardly a deal breaker. So it bumps you - it isn't as though it is causing injury to the camera or to you, for goodness sake!!!! So it bumps you and you move your finger - big deal! I cannot fathom why anyone would care about this. As far as being hard to hold, maybe if you had the hands of a 7 ft NBA player or a 350lb lineman, it might be a bit small in your hands and hard to handle - but so would ANY small camera. But both my husband and myself have had no issues holding on to it. If you are worried for some reason, that is what the camera strap is there for. Personally, I love the fact that it EASILY slips into a pocket so I don't walk around looking like a tourist, or have my hands full of camera while I want to be site-seeing.
The function section of this camera (SCN) is SUPER fun. You can take pictures where you turn everything in the photo black & white except selected color(s). This yields some AWESOME artsy shots with no effort (seriously, take pictures in candlight, where the color of the candle light is the only color - AMAZING!!!!). You can also swap colors to take wacky, fun photos. People will think you are a photography genius, and all you did was point and click. There is also a straight B&W mode, and sepia mode, like most cameras.
All in all, I CANNOT imagine having chosen any other camera.
"Nice Camera .... but" 2009-09-21
By jerryk (Portland, Oregon)
For a point and shoot, this camera is the cream of the crop. Huge optical zoom...manual settings, large LCD screen.
I bought this to carry with me while jogging ect...when I don't want to haul my 40D and 100-400 lens around. Using a 40D and L series lens as a comparison, this camera doesn't do that badly. By far the best pictures I've seen come out of a point and shoot. In good lighting, if you know what you are doing, the 12X lens does an outstanding job.
Now for the but.....
I was worried about the large lens when I purchased this camera. Each time you turn power on, the very large lens is extended out of the camera as the lens is initialized. If this fails....you have a $350 dollar paper-weight. Sure enough, after about 3 months, I turned this camera on and it said "lens error, restart camera". I had to send it to Canon repair to be fixed.
To be fair, it was repaired under warranty, and the process to send it in was quick and fairly painless, but it does point to a weak spot in the design of this camera. If you want a small camera format, with a big optical zoom, there's a price to be paid. That price is a dicey lens mechanism.
