Great Camera..

Really enjoy the camera. Does everything I need it to. The Zoom is great. For an amateur, I like not having to carry lens with me. This allows a wide area of coverage. However, I wish I had a printed manual...Hint Canon...
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: no printer manual
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great investment

I've had this camera since February. LOVE it. It takes amazing quality pictures and is very versatile. The zoom is amazing-- it's like taking pictures through binoculars. No complaints, however, there are a couple drawbacks-- one being the size. It's not the kind of camera that you carry around with you wherever you go. You HAVE to have a camera bag. Going to a party? You're gonna want a smaller camera. Enjoying a night out on the town? For the ladies, we definitely want something we can throw in our purses or in a pocket. Also, the battery life is pretty poor. It's a good idea to get rechargeables or a battery pack. Playing videos or the picture playback drains the batteries pretty quickly, as does uploading to your PC. There are a lot of functions associated with this camera, so it's gonna take a long time to get used to all of them and figure them all out. It's well worth the time, and it's great when you accidentally stumble on an interesting new feature. A bit pricey, but well worth the investment if you plan on using it.

Great buy

I bought this camera mainly because of the viewfinder. The one I had been using did not have one and when in sunlight I could not tell exactly what I was aiming at. After seeing the pictures I get with this one I am glad I made the change. I love the way it zooms in on subjects with very little blur even at a long distance.
I would highly recommend this camera. It is well worth the money.

Great Camera!

This is my first experience with a digital camera. I purchased it because I was going on a cruise to Alaska. I've been practicing with it all summer. I thought my old 35mm SLR camera took great photos, but the quality of photos that I've been taking with my new Canon is outstanding. I can't wait to take more photos with it. From panoramic scenic shots to photos of my dog, I'm satisfied with them all.

My husband bought this for me because I was taking pictures at his softball games. It was able to keep up with the speed I was taking the pictures. The pictures came out great!! Since getting this camera, I have gotten more compliments on my pictures than I ever had before! I LOVE my camera!!!

this was a great investment. my first purchase of a digital camera after always having 35mm. Wife has a point and shoot and i was looking for something with a little more powerful zoom and i got it with this camera.
the only thing i have been unable to capture has been lightening from some summer storms, but hopefully i can do that soon
