Great Camera
on December 16, 2010
Posted by: Oldman53
from California
I bought this camera as a gif for myself and I am glad I did. The LCD screen is very clear, the camera is very easy to operate, the instructions are easy to read and the price is right. The quality of the pictures are excellent and it has a really good zoom. I bought a set of rechargeable batteries and they have lasted a long time. This is definately worth buying.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great camera but a little flimy

I just purchased a SX130 camera in Nov only to fall in love with it until the zoom jammed. So I wrapped it up since it would not fit back in the case and stowed it in my luggage while on vacation. When I got home and unwrapped the camera the whole front lens cover fell off the camera. It must have been bumped in transit and the light plastic lens ring broke. UGH, I packaged it and sent it to the repair shop in the warranty papers. Hope they can repair it!

this stinks

I knew I made a mistake buying this in November especially when I was told this would be the best price of the year. This is a great camera and you will be happy with it but you might want to hold off buying it now and wait for the next "best price of the year"
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life

Excellent Picture Quality
on December 3, 2010
Posted by: May
from Sacramento, CA
This camera takes excellent pictures in low light with a very nice zoom optical on it but it is kinda bulky to put in a purse. It has very nice auto features for beginners to where you can just take it right out of the box and use it without ever reading the manual. This camera uses 2 AA batteries and if you use it with alkaline batteries it sucks it up like is nobody's business. But if you use it with the ultimate lithium batteries it seems to be fine.
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, Heavy/Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

AWESOME PRICE FOR CROSSOVER
on December 3, 2010
Posted by: COMRADE
from SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
PURCHASED THIS CROSSOVER AFTER COMPARING SEVERAL OTHER CAMERAS THAT CLAIM BETTER OPTICS, LENSES, ETC AND FOUND THAT THE EASE OF USE IN THIS CAMERA COMBINED WITH ADVANCED SETTINGS MAKE IT AN OUTSTANDING VALUE FOR THE MONEY. THE CAMERA IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FROM MAJOR RETAILERS AT A HUGE DISCOUNT, GET IT WHILE IT IS HOT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE TRUE. PERFECT CAMERA FOR A PERSON THAT WANTS EASE OF USE, GOOD ZOOM, AND LOTS OF AUTOMATED EASY TO USE OPTIONS. PLUS, CANON HAS AN EXCELLENT WARRANTY AND REPAIR DEPARTMENT TO BOOT!
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, great digital photos
Cons: Short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Target, Bozeman, Montqana
A friend of mine has a Canon PowerShot and loves it. I was extremely impressed how beautiful the photos turned out!!! Crisp and clear!!! She has a 10x optical zoom. Decided I needed to look into purchasing a new camera. Great camera. I purchased the PowerShot sx130 IS. Very happy with the ease of use. Canon has always been a trusted name since I can remember.
Cons: can't think of one at this time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor Qaulity
on November 24, 2010
Posted by: booper
from Columbia, SC
I just recently purchased this camera. I owned a Canon Digital Powershot A2000 IS with 10.0 mega pixels and 6X Zoom. What a great camera and it was stolen, and now I bought this one. The focus is terrible and most of my pictures are blurry. Please tell me where I can find the old Canon Digital Powershot A2000 IS. I've looked everywhere on the Internet and can't find one. That was the best camera I ever owned. Please help me out, find one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
