1 out of 5 stars Horrible product   July 28, 2010

We bought this camera as a replacement for an older Canon Powershot the day before going on a trip. ALL the pictures came out blurry...really, really disappointing. I have since taken the same exact photo with this camera and the old one - its like night and day. Everything is either slightly out of focus or blurry - and its not user error! Just not sure how Canon can sell this shoddy quality equipment. Worst experience ever - never buying Canon again.

NOTE:
I returned this camera to Amazon - but here's the review anyway.

Pros:
1) Good point-and-shoot - works alright in most cases.
2) Small, sleek, light and handy. Fits in your pocket.
3) Zoom during recording video (some older models did not have this functionality).
4) Face detection works suprisingly well.

Cons:
1) Overexposure in Auto mode, sometimes.
2) No manual mode. Not even aperture priority or shutter speed priority modes.
3) Flimsy construction of (a) the battery and card slot door and (b) auto-program-video mode switch - I was scared they would come off every time I used it.
4) Static noise during video (an older canon camera I tried did not have this much noise).
5) No manual focus.

Summary:
This seems to be a good point-and-shoot. The overexposure problem can be corrected by exposure compensation in Program mode. I'd want a little more manual control over the settings (eg: shutter speed, f-stop, manual focus), and the Program mode doesn't cut it. However, if you don't need all that, this camera looks like a decent buy.

Misc:
Shipped fast, packaged well, product arrived in good condition.

Excellent little camera. Very light and easy to take with on trips and such. Takes excellent pictures and is very user friendly. I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting a good priced camera that takes good quality pictures.


5 out of 5 stars great quality of pictures, easy to use   July 7, 2010

Pros: picture quality is good; macro is very nice for a compact camera; Auto mode is good enough is most case; compact size
Cons: when change mode, need to hit display key to find more mode options. However, I found it ok as I don't use the other modes that often.
I've taken about 500 pictures and need to change the battery twice. Not sure how's the battery life in about a year.

The product is good and delivery was very quick. Picture quality is excellent, but as other reviewers noted there is some manual entries that have to be made for certain conditions - the auto feature is not as good as I would like. I miss the viewfinder, but knew it wouldn't be part of this product. It's so small I almost forget it is in my pocket when out and about - makes it very easy to take along any time.
