Replace Battery Pack is the only thing this camera will do
I love Canon and have never had any problems with them until I bought this camera. It has been back for warranty repair twice. The first time they returned it the next day saying nothing was wrong. Got it back and the same thing happened. Have bought 4 new batteries and a new charger and still same problem. It has been sent back again. I think I got a lemon and am disappointed in Canon helping me on this one. The camera should be replaced.It will turn on and at times I have been able to take a few photos but it never lets me take but a few and sometimes gets stuck with the lens still out and on the screen it says replace battery pack. I have never been able to use the camera on a trip due to this and this is why I got the camera.

Not bad but poor picture quality if you don't hold the camera really still.
My wife and I bought this camera a month ago and took it with us on our trip to Cancun. It takes great still pictures but when it comes to people and faces, well it comes off a bit short. We took over 800 pictures in 8 days and most of the pictures with people were a bit unclear. They were not as crisp as our pictures of scenery and FOOD :)
Another thing we did not like about this camera is you really need to know how to use it to get a decent picture. When we would pass the camera to a stranger or friend to take our picture, because they figure it is just a point and shoot, they snap the picture without doing any auto focusing and leave us with a not so great picture and a lost opportunity to save memories. This is with the auto setting mind you in good light.
All in all once you know how to use the camera it takes pretty good pictures. The auto setting in low light does not select the correct ISO for the brightness so most pictures in a low light area under the auto setting come out too dark. For better pictures in low light you have to use the P/M setting but you also have to act as if you are a tripod and remain very still otherwise the picture will be blurry.
I have just returned this camera to Amazon and am looking for a new one.

Good Camera but a bit pricey
Nice camera ... takes great photos. The wide angle leave a bit to be desired. It is hardly a wide angle. Other than that it is a nice compact camera. It takes nice crisp and sharp pictures. The camera gives you a lot of room to zoom in and crop a picture before printing it. I recommend the Canon Leather carrying case for it as well. It fits nice and snug in the hard case. I literally throw it in the bottom of my brief case and have no problems with it. Contrary to other reviews, my camera holds a nice charge!

A great camera
I selected this camera after spending hours reading many, many reviews on [...], [...] and here on Amazon. It is a tremendous camera and is galaxies better than my old Kodak LS443. I especially like the fact it has a viewfinder, not something mentioned by very many reviewers. It does everything well. It is easy to use. My only minor complaints and they are that, very minor is I wish it was just a bit bigger because I'm a large guy with big hands. Also have to be careful not to cover up the flash holding it but that's easy to teach yourself to overcome. Finally, I would have exchanged some of the very small size for just a little more wide angle and telephoto lens capability. Considering the size of the camera this does a commendable job. This is the only digital point and shoot to get great reviews by [...], [...] and Amazon. The three complaints I read on Amazon reflect a lack of understanding rather than honest criticism of this great Canon camera.

Great Camera
I am completely satisfied with this camera. I read many reviews of many cameras and decided on this camera for image quality and ease of use. The negative reviews must be due to operator error or some anomalous defects as I have not experienced any problems that were not of my own doing. I have really enjoyed doing close up photos of plants and sea shells. The manual focus capability has really made it possible to get truly sharp, high resolution images for later manipulation. I do most of my shooting in fairly bright light so the ISO has been low and noise in the pictures is practically non-existent. When I see what this camera can do with fairly miniscule optics, it makes me wonder what life would be like with a EOS 5D mk 2 with an L series lens.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
