4 out of 5 stars Great camera, one flaw...   November 29, 2008
I have owned this camera for over a year now, and I have used it in many conditions: underwater with its underwater case, under low light conditions (interior and exterior), for moving subjects etc... This camera takes GREAT pictures. A professional photographer told me this summer it was his favorite compact camera.

The macro function is really nice but there is one problem with it. I take quite a lot of macrosoof flowers, forgs etc... in which cases I need the flash or the pictures will be blurry. Macro and flash on this camera don't work very well together especially if you are very close to the subject: the lens and the flash in the front of the camera are too close and you will have a black shadow in the lower right corner of the picture (which can be cropped in most cases). I talked to a Canon engineer and he told me that this is a problem with this camera. Again it will only happen in macro mode with flash, when very close to the subject.

Otherwise, as others have mentioned it, the body of the camera is very small and "slippery" so be careful when you use it... I recommend to always use the wrist strap :)



4 out of 5 stars Very good camera   November 20, 2008
I have been using this camera since July and have taken many great pictures. To get full use of the capabilities reading the manual is extremely helpful. The biggest problem I seem to have is eliminating red eye when taking indoor pictures. Other than that I am very satisfied. The size is perfect.

I have to confess I'm not a 'camera' person-- I'm probably like most of you reading this-- just looking for a good camera that takes good pictures. We've had this camera for about a month, and honestly I'm not impressed so far. I had a Nikon before this one that was 4 years old and I accidently broke the LCD. I had been kinda wanting a new camera and now had the opportunity to shop.

I use my camera to take family and friends photos, inside and outside. I did a TON of research- read all the reviews, search several review websites and chose this camera. The pictures are less than stellar so far. Some blurry, grainy, the flash doesn't suffice. I have learned a little about the ISO and have attempted to adjust that to get better pictures, yet still nothing fantastic. I kinda wish I can return this, but at this point I don't think I can. All the product reviews said to look at the PowerShots or CyberShots, I definitely wish I had stayed with the Nikons.

I'll keep you posted, but if you are shopping for christmas, completely stressed out on what to get and a product research nerd like me, skip this one for now...



5 out of 5 stars Best camera I have ever owned   November 13, 2008
I have had this camera for over a year. I have loaned it to friends. It has been tossed around, rained on, frozen, dropped and it still functions perfectly. The pictures are wonderful. Strongly recommend this one!


5 out of 5 stars Great Camera   November 5, 2008
It's a great Camera and meets all your expectations...I bought it from amazon along with Kingston 2GB memory card and case logic camera case for $260/- and that's a steal....The pictures are great and the operations simple..I would highly recommend it and the pricing on Amazon is simply great...
