Great video clips
Date: August 9, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, inexpensive Cons: slow recharge on flash
I bought this camera because my first Canon could only do about 12 seconds of video per shot and I wanted to take longer shots. I've been extremely happy with this camera - it takes great photos and video and is easy to use. I didn't want to spend a lot of money for fancy features I wouldn't use, and this camera has great features for an excellent price. Plus, I'm sure that once I take the time to read the manual I'll find all sorts of great additional features that will really maximize what it can do. I highly recommend this camera for someone who just wants to get great photos without a lot of fuss. My only complaint is that the flash takes a few seconds to recharge.

Fantastic Camera
Date: August 8, 2009
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, good battery life Cons: battery meter missing
This is a great little camera. I'm impressed with the photo quality and love how fast it powers up! The batteries seem to last a good long time I've taken hundreds of pictures and am only on my second set of batteries (I have not used the flash much). I didn't think I would use the macro feature much but when I learned how well it worked it became a really nice fun feature.
There are only two things that I wish were different. I'd like to see a battery meter on the LCD all the time and I would like it if the focus worked just a bit faster (it is fast but it can take a second or maybe even two).

Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, durable Cons: Short battery life
I have had a ball with my new camera from Cannon. the directions are are to understand and have had great luck trying several different situations and features. Ease of extracting to PC and using the programs.
