 I have all the big DSLR gear, but I love this camera too. December 1, 2008
This is the perfect take-anywhere camera for someone who wants it all in one device that's simple and portable. Hi-res photos, flexibility, movable screen to capture shots around obstacles, and clear movies, all using the great image stabilization tech that's built in. Super product.
awesome camera! November 9, 2008

i have this camera as a backup to my dslr (canon xsi at this moment)...
the quality of the pictures is amazing for point and shoot! it can rival xsi occasionally!
works off 4 AA batteries:
+ can buy them anywhere
+ flash loads fast
+ takes humongous amount of shots before replacement is needed
image stabilization is a dream :)
some people say that it does not feel solid - feels pretty darn solid to me :)

Do not waste your money on the wide angle lens adapter and filter kit. The adapter and all accessories will not work if you need to use the flash. The adapter is so big it blocks the flash in the scene creating a dark spot in the bottom right hand corner. Stupid design. Camera needs a hot shoe for an external flash. Also, when using wide angle, it makes a cameo image...meaning each corner has a black triangle where the camera can not see becuase the adapter blocks the light. So you have to zooom in to get them out of your picture....defeats the purpose of a wide angle lens. Spent an extra $250 on these parts and it was a waste of money. I like to do interior shots of home for real estate but the wide angle is useless if you use flash....big black spot in each corner.
Great Camera October 30, 2008
It is a great camera... The only downside is the flash it leaves much to be desire t would be nice if I had a hot shoe. But I have a slave flash that i can use the old fashioned way... manually. I love the picture quality.
 Good camera but October 11, 2008

This is a good little camera. I bought it to upgrade my ancient A70, which I liked except for its postage stamp lcd. My main complaint about the camera is the price, and that's why I don't give it a higher rating. It was selling for under $300 in the early summer. I watched the price rise to over $400, looked around, and bought it elsewhere for $350 by a supplier who hadn't apparently caught on to the price increase. The $475 that it's selling for today is way too much; you can get an excellent digital slr, the Canon Rebel XSi for $650! Anyone know why the price increased?
Pro:
Great Canon interface and controls.
Lots of great manual controls.
Good videos with sound.
I like and use the neat hinge on the lcd.
Lcd size is sufficient.
Histograms on the photo playback.
Good optical and digital zoom with a little color-coded bar on the lcd that tells you when you're zoom is getting into an area where your photos could suffer from camera shake.
Image stabilization.
Cons:
Overpriced.
The 12 megapixels is overkill. If you need great resolution, why not get a slr with a good lens? I shoot at 5 or 8 mp.
Narrow range of aperture compared to a slr. At the small end, it only goes to f8. You can stop it down to f2.8--not bad, I suppose.
Photos are noisy at higher ISO numbers.
When I was shopping I recall seeing other point-and-shoot Canons for quite a bit less. You might have to drop down a few megapixels, give up image stabilization, and/or the lcd hinge. Sorry, I don't recall the model numbers, but it might be worth looking around. If I were to do it over, I'd buy a less expensive super compact and a Rebel xsi.
