Have recomended it to others

I have had this camera for about 1 1/2 yrs now, and have been very pleased with it. If you read the reviews do your research and know the cameras limitations you can produce great pictures. I still am learning about all the little items this camera has. Like other my main gripe is the lens cap but thank God it does fall off easily as I have turned the camera on many times for getting the lens cap was still on the lens. All in all I am very pleased with it. I also love the fact I can carry this along with me instead of all of my DSLR Equip.
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance, Short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Point and shoot just a step below DSLR
on February 7, 2010

I have had this camera for about a year and a half now and really enjoy it. The image quality is crisp. I love the advanced functions of the camera, making it just a step below the DSLR. I bought the camera to learn camera jargon and begin learning functions of a DSLR but without the price. Now I've played with it enough that I'm ready to upgrade. But I definitely will keep this camera in use as my point and shoot for general occasions. A benefit to it is that it does have the extra manual settings available to use while at the same time it takes really good pictures on Auto mode. I love the LCD screen that flips.
The only real downside is the cover that falls off real easily. I haven't so far scratched the lens but am worried for the day that I don't catch the lens cover off in time.
Pros: excellent image quality, Bright LCD, easy to use
Cons: flimsy lens cover
I would recommend this to a friend!

OK for the money

I have had this camera about 2 years and have taken more than 2000 pictures. The camera's low light performance is terrible as it's noise level is extremely high. The pictures taken above ISO 200 cannot be used above 4x6 enlargement due to excessive noise. Other than the noise problem the camera is acceptable. Battery life seems average for a camera with an EVF for viewing. I solved the lens cap problem by using a lens extender with a 58 mm cap.
Pros: Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Poor image quality, Poor Low-Light Performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quality, Ease, and Precision

I love this camera. I am an avid photographer, and I shoot everything from weddings to portraits, to nature, to sports, - this camera does it all excellently.! The controls may be a little daunting for the beginner, but after some use it gets familiar fast. Custom settings for the advanced person, and auto settings for the novice. I am that rare breed of film person who gave up the big rigs and equipment (seemed like a safari to just go to the zoo, or to the park and shoot) to get smaller and leaner with a digital format. This camera has all of the features of Canon's high end digitals, yet maintaining a simplicity even a point and shooter can appreciate. The feature set is good enough for a pro to make use of without being too bulky or with a myriad of attachments. Fast shutter speeds, night shooting, action, and wide angles can be reached without having to give up much in any shooting mode, regardless of range. Performance, features, ease of use, who could ask for anything more.! Canon got it really right with this one.!
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Complicated controls/menu
