Bad Bad Bad Battery Usage
on May 4, 2012
Posted by: Gina
from Knoxville, TN
Brand new batteries only last about 30 minutes. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA unless you own a battery company and have many on hand to replace every 30 minutes or so.
Cons: battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Best Cameras
on April 7, 2012
Posted by: grovecub
from Spotsylvania, VA
We use our camera a lot. It take clear images and well as sharp video with great sound. Everything about this camera is user friendly. Set up is easy to understand. This camera is great for a beginner to expert. Prior to this purchase, we purchased another brand name digital camera that was highly rated. It was a big disappointment! Canon is one of the best products for your multimedia needs. We have a much older powershot (2003) that still works great as well.
Pros: price, ease of use, technology, features
Cons: unable to take still images whille in video mode
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Very good qualitypictures, easy and simple to learn to use, durable (have dropped in a few times!) great zoom feature, easy to make movies with
Cons: Not a fast camera i.e: blurry pictures with movement, shutter speed very slow so action photos are delayed, carry extra batteries
I would recommend this to a friend!

Microphone died after less than 2 years

Microphone is dead - no sound is recorded on videos anymore, so that's pretty much useless...

AA Battery eater
on March 23, 2012

If I didn't have to carry tons of extra AA batteries with me, I might like this camera. It goes through them fast. If I had known this would be the case, I would have looked for a camera with easily rechargeable ion batteries, like my other camera. It seems like a decent camera, and I think another Canon would be better. The long time it takes to wait for the flash to build up is probably due to the high consumption of battery energy. I just will not buy another that uses AA batteries.
Pros: has a nice feel to it nice pictures
Cons: aa batteries
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this camera!
on March 1, 2012

I went from a Cannon film camera to this little digital. Finally got myself into the modern world of not having to develop extra pictures unnecessarily. I wasn't sure if I would like it since I do a lot of scenery shots using a large zoom lens. The zoom on this camera is just fine for the shots I take. The quality of the pictures is amazing for a camera that fits into my purse with no problem. The 12 megapixel and 12X optical zoom is just enough. I have even taken shots at night with the moon over the water, and the picture has come out clear. The only down fall of this camera is the battery consumption. When I know I'm going to have the camera on to take several pictures, I bring extra batteries with me. I have recommended this camera to my friends.

This camera eats batteries
on February 29, 2012
Posted by: sweetd
from Chicago,IL
Sorry but this camera is terrible I have never had to change batteries as often as I do with any other piece of gear I have ever owned its quirky and the facial focus can't be overridden if you take it back I will be more than happy to box it up I DO NOT like this camera at all I have had this camera since december in anticipation of the birth of my twins and I can't tell you how man shots I have missed because hte thing takes too long to process a shot, to power up, to save files etc etc etc I can even figure out how to turn the stupid time and date stamp off permanently it comes up every single time I turn the camera on when I DO NOT LIKE any time and date stamp features anyhow I'm here trying to upload to a macbook and guess what NO DRIVER save your money
Pros: killer hd
Cons: everything else
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i just want to take excellent pictures
on February 17, 2012
Posted by: lee c.
from dover,de
camera is so unbelievably complex, & features & option choices so numerous, & keep popping into/onto the display, that it interferes with picture-taking. i spent several hours when i 1st got camera reviewing 200 pg. owner manual & was pretty satisfied with initial pics. really enjoyed snapping pics by smiling or winking -- [totally, totally unnecessary capability for me but, pretty cool.
then, i didn't use it again for 6 wks., when i went on vacation, & forgot details from 200-pg.-manual, & didn't want to drag copy with me & am totally frustrated trying to take a stink'in picture.
i'm 60+ yrs. old.
