I find the instructions rather complicated and so very user friendly.

The camera very quickly would get into a sleep mode while it is still on. I have to press any button to have it awake again. This is rather inconvenient when I have a precious to capture.

The camera is worth the cost for the qualities of the images and the videos I am getting.

Bought this camera just before a trip to Australia because my Kodak was eating up batteries too quickly. This camera was a big disappointment. Display screen impossible to see in normal outside light. Optical view finder, while saving battery life, did not help making sure a photo was right before clicking the shutter. A high percentage of photos were out of focus. Very hard to depress shutter half way to wait for auto focus to work. Shutter very slow, 3 or 4 seconds to process photo. Instructions state that another picture can be taken while photo is developing, but doing that usually results in an out of focus picture. No use at all to take quick candid photos. Those "Kodak Moments" will be lost. After a while, I switched to my Droid if a picture was really important to me even though the camera function of the Droid is difficult to use. This was my first (and last) Canon. I have been using digital cameras for over ten years and have taken over 100,000 shots. The only good consistant feature of this camera is the video recording.

              • Q:

                I loved my old canon power shot, the zoom lenz, the great photos. (it's since been lost or stolen). One problem. If I wanted to take pictures super fast---one right after the other, the camera couldn't do that. I would click the camera for the first shot, then, for a second shot, I had to wait probably at least 8 seconds before I could get another one. I have a dog business and quick shots are VERY important with any dogs and especially puppies. How is this camera for that purpose and/or could anyone recommend any others besides this one, or instaed of this one? Brand isn't too important to me.
