I own a Canon PowerShot A1000IS and have taken thousands of great pictures. I really would have liked more than a 4X Zoom. I did not want a bulky camera to get the zoom capacity & this camera fits the bill. I also like that it uses AA batteries. Most cameras use specialized rechargables that just don't perform like the lithium AAs do. If you need to replace the special ones you are talking $$$.

The one feature I would have liked is a neck strap supplied with the camera.

I think this is the best compact camera on the market.

I have the Canon SX100,since the lens stuck I bought the Canon SX160 to replace it. The body of the SX160 does not have a snug fit in my hand like the SX100. The SX160 is flatter and I like the more natural finger grip on the SX100. I haven't printed any pictures off the SX160 yet. I fixed the SX100 and plan on using it. The SX 160 will be a back up or given to someone. I really like my SX100 and it takes great pictures. I took over 1000 pictures on a recent trip.

    Comments about Canon Powershot SX160 IS Digital Camera, Black:

    I is the first Cannon camera that I have owned. I found it easy to use and the quality of the pictures excellent. I have printed some photographs up to 11x14 without loss of resolution. I used large format printer to print these. I would and did recommend the camera to others. The picture quqlity is compareable to my reflex camera.

        Comments about Canon Powershot SX160 IS Digital Camera, Black:

        I have waiting till the mefa prizels became 16, so I would have greater latitude in photographing the many subjects that I intend to shoot. I have 1 1/2 years of photograph classes from many years ago in the roll film and sheet film era. This is my second digital camera and I waited till Cannon had what I wanted.
