 Good all around performer September 2, 2008

Fast startup and excellent quality pictures. Because most laptops these days come with an SD card reader, you don't really need the cable to transfer the videos/pics. Just pop out the SD card from the camera and stick it in the laptop for faster transfer. The image stabilizer works very well.

This is the first time that I had a problem with a cannon camera,lens would not shut all the way and when it did it would come up with a lens error. This happened the first day i bought it and we were leaving in 2 days for vacation, so i took it and used it. Takes great pictures, i had a s500 befor this one and it still works great. I am still raiting this camera 5 star because it was just a fluk thing that happened only thing is I had to pay 15.00 to ship it to cannon and they replace lens asembly for free but, never got any money back. I recomend this camera, just because it doesnt matter about what megapixes you get is lens qulity that counts,you can look that up at [...]
A very good point and shoot August 24, 2008

This is a very good point and shoot camera -- I was looking at something small to throw in my backpack for casual trips where I do not want to take my dSLR -- this very readily fills the bill.
Not as feature-rich as the G9, it does however feature the same processor and big 12.1 MP shots. You will need a large capacity SD card for this camera.
Battery life is good. Buy a spare if you plan on taking a lot of photos, since it will run out about 200 shots or so with all the features enabled.
The only downside -- to get at most of the great features in the camera, you have to go menu-hopping rather than having standalone feature buttons like on some of the other canon series cameras. But this camera really isn't designed for that purpose --
It is a great snapshot camera, and the scene modes work well at their preset settings. Enjoy!
12.1 MP on small sensor still gives excellent results August 14, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I waited until I got two vacations under my belt before reviewing this camera. I was very concerned that cramming 12.1 MP on such a tiny sensor would dramatically up the noise and create poor image quality (IQ).
My concerns have been alliviated! The IQ is excellent. However, bear in mind that this is not a DSLR with a 35MM size sensor. This is a tiny camera. The ISO 800 and above performance will readily distinguish this camera from a DSLR. However, can you put your DSLR in your pants pocket?
I have found that, at least for vacations, portability is paramount. I want to have a camera with me at all times, whether I'm eating in a restaurant or riding on an ATV. The smaller the camera, the more pictures I took. And, my philosophy is to take lots of pictures to get some keepers, versus, carefully setting up a single picture and missing other opportunities.
With that as background, I love the SD950IS.
What I liked most:
- Excellent IQ, even at high ISOs.
- Superfast start up, under 1/2 sec. The lens literally jumps out!
- Viewfinder for bright outdoors (but only shows 80% of picture).
What I was disappointed with:
- The IS only marginally helped me.
- Pics needed Photoshop work but I always PS all pics anyway - I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
- The SDHC format cards can't be read without an adaptor.
Super camera you can take anywhere! July 30, 2008

Bought this camera for my wife as a birthday present. She loves it, and what's not to love about it? Photography is a hobby of mine and I have a semi-pro DLSR camera. So I appreciate a good camera that produces excellent pictures, and that's what the Canon PowerShot SD950IS does; it takes really great pictures. The face-detection always makes sure you get properly focused shots when taking pictures of people. I was expecting a lot of this camera, and I admit - it delivers!
Build quality is typical Canon, too. Built to very high standards and should hold up to all the rigors that a point-and-shoot camera has to go through in the hands of a mom with busy kids.
If you want a point-and-shoot where you don't have to know or do anything special to get super-looking pictures, this is the one to buy. I'd buy it for her all over again, and that says it all!
