love this camera
I owned this camera for about 6 months & loved everything about it. It took great pictures and was easy to use. Unfortunately, it was stolen out of my car so I will replace it with the same model.

Very disappointed!
I was very frustrated with this camera. I thought it was me but after reading others reviews I now know it's the camera. The pictures were not clear no matter what setting I tried. I didn't realize this until after I developed my son's First Holy Communion pictures. It was very upsetting. Don't but this Camera. I loved my other camera but it was old and outdated....I th...

Lots of learning opportunities
This camera is larger & heavier than my previous cameras & I was very surprised by this when I received it. It's more difficult to change settings & to see the desired setting on the wheel due to extremely small writing & small controls. Difficult to hold steady with the auto pop up flash position. I haven't learned if it's possible to change the size of pixels it uses ...

My surprise purchase
While traveling overseas I dropped my Cannon G-7 and the lens jammed and would not retract. I still had 2 weeks to go on my trip and could not be without a camera so went into a camera shop in Edinburgh to see if they could possibly fix it. Unfortunately they advised me I would have to send it in. So I looked at what replacements were available and after a recommendatio...

Disappointed
I have been extremely disappointed with the quality of the pictures I have taken. I have an older digital camera that takes great pictures but I wanted to upgrade from a 4 times zoom to the 14 times zoom with the Canon. The quality of the pictures taken indoors at concert events are no where near as good a s my older camera. Many pictures are not clear as they should be...

Dust is a Big Problem
I purchased this camera in the Spring and on the first day I used it noticed a problem with dust getting on the lens and inside the lens. Withing two months, dust and hair actually got inside the camera causing for significant quality issues. For the price of this camera, this should not be happening. Even worse, there is no way to fix this. I have used an air gun to tr...

Best Purchase
Image quality is amazing! I can work with apertur and shutter speed like a non digital camera. It's portable and easy to use. One thing I will say is the flash lense is the only thing that sticks out from the camera. if I would to ever drop it, it would probably be the first thing to break on my camera.

Fantastic Camera
I bought this camera after my older canon finally bit the dust. Carried my old one in my saddlebag for well over 2000 miles of riding everywhere in the USA and took 1000's and 1000's of pictures. I was sold on canon! So far with this one, I have taken it everywhere in Israel and Egypt and taken 100's of shots of grandchildren. It has never failed me. I love the high zoo...

I love this camera
I would highly recommend this camea. I have enjoyed it to the fulliest. I took on the road all in cold tempatures and it took very good pictures in the snow, in the dark and in the rain the pictures still come out clear. I am often taking pictures without the flash and they come out well in doors. I took pictures while driving and they came out perfect. I love this and ...

Great camera with one major flaw
Overall I really like this camera. I like to take my camera with me everywhere, so this camera usually ends up in my pocket or in a bag. It takes beautiful shots and pretty good video. I've been using this camera for about a year.
Now for the huge flaw I've found. The camera will easily fill with dirt, hair, and dust. Since the lens will zoom a great distance this allo...

Great Little Camera
Great little camera. Shoots clear pictures and has a great zoom. Easy to fit in a pocket or purse and handy to carry around.

Awesome Zoom
I went to a concert last night where I was sitting in the back rows, I'm guessing I was at least 200 feet away from the stage. I was able to use my camera to zoom in on the singer and take clear pictures. Today when my friends saw my pictures they thought that I was sitting in the front row. Everyone was impressed with this camera's zoom ability. I'm so glad I chose it.

Very disappointed with this one
Camera doesn't produce crisp clear pictures, especially indoors and in low light conditions, no matter what setting I use. I returned to to Cannon and they "adjusted" it but it is still unsatisfactiory. I have had previous cheaper cameras that took better pictures than this dog. I keep thinking that it's me but even on a monopod the picture quality isn't what I was expe...

disappointed
I have only had this camera for three months and it already needs repair. The LCD display has stopped working completely and I have to send it in. Besides that, there is a serious design flaw where the flash pops up- it is right where you would hold the camera with your left index finger. Would definetly NOT buy again.

Good feel, poor pictures
Purchased on-line. Camera has a good feel to it and all controls operate smoothly. Unfortunately, the pictures were fuzzy and had an yellow tint to them. Couldn't track down anyone who could/would offer a suggestion as to why, so returned it for full refund. No hassles.I will take in a storage card and physically try my next camera before buying.

Great for general use
Great camera for general use. Slim profile is just right for the pocket. The 14x optical zoom sold me. I've used it weekly for four months with great pics.
It is slow on shutter responce.
Bad location for flash; where finger is.

This camera is a disappointment. I bought this camera because I needed to replace a camera and I need the 14x zoom. The photos are not crisp and clear. The image stabilizer does not offer much help. I am trying to locate a printed copy of the "Camera Users Guide" that comes with the camera on a CD. So far, it seems that I must print the 180 pages to have it handy when I...

not as good as it sounds
This camera sounds wonderful. Buyer beware. It does combine the point and shoot with the SLR options. It looks great on the 3inch LCD...put it on your computer and you see a grainy image with nearly zero depth of field. I have bought Canon Point and Shoots in the past and have been more that happy with the AUTO option. Either I have recieved a malfunctioning camera or t...

Almost perfect
This is ALMOST the perfect pocket camera. The 14x optical zoom is unusual for pocket cameras and very handy for wildlife or for cropping photos on the fly. The 14.5 megapixel is also outstanding and provides the ability to make high quality prints. The variety of settings makes it easy to select the proper setting and the multi-focus capabilities helps ensure everyone i...
