Excellent Camera
I will not attempt to add to the amazingly detailed and professional reviews already available for this camera - which, btw, were one of the main reasons I chose this camera.
I will just describe my experience with it.
I was looking for the 5 things in a new camera: Compact form factor, excellent picture quality, mega-zoom abilities, HD movies recording and an image stabilizer for indoor long exposure where I want to avoid using the flash.
For me, this camera has answered those requirements - and almost perfectly so.
The image quality - and in various indoor and outdoor settings as well as various light situations - is just excellent. Same goes for the HD movies it records.(Almost) No need for to carry another gizmo any longer.
I have only 3 issues with the camera:
1. Once a movie recording has started, the zoom cannot be changed.
2. The batteries are Cannon propriatory and I cannot use standardized (and rechargeable) batteries.
3) The location of the flash is where one would hold the camera and it's just an annoying engineering decision.
However, I know about all this issues prior to purchasing the camera and hence I would rate this camera as an (almost) perfect 5 stars.
Well worth every penny invested in it.

Love the Zoom on the Canon PowerShot
I took my new camera for a 4-day visit to So. Africa's Kruger National Park, and was exceptionally pleased. Being a Canon fan, learning the features was pretty straight-forward. The camera feels good in my hand and I liked the color more than I thought (all my others were silver or black). I liked the direct dial to the camera modes (over the menu); the compact size for a 12x zoom is great; the zoom is awesome for such a small package, however it went from optical directly to digital and I prefer to do digital adjustments on my computer. This is my first camera without a view finder and it took getting used to it. The 3 inch screen is nice and bright, although a bit challenging in brilliant sunlight. I am quite happy with the image quality, probably due to image stabilization, but I also used the kids/pets mode for animals in motion. The colors are crisp and clear. The flash, as reported, is only effective for subjects pretty close in, well under 10 feet. I didn't try the low light feature as I didn't have a tripod. I'm really glad I purchased a back up battery (the Lenmar DLC5L equivalent to NB-5L) as it was usually mid day when it went out; either battery lasted about a day and a half of constant on-off, a lot of flash and only a little video. I got the Transcend 8 GB SDHC Class 6 flash memory card which was plenty for my trip. I'm very happy with my purchases and highly recommend this camera for those who like to zoom and frame their photos.

Not as good as the reviews
We liked the zoom, but were pretty unimpressed with the picture quality. We are trying to upgrade from a 3.1 megapixel Kodak and honestly, we really couldn't see much better picture clarity with the canon. You'd think that jumping up 4X in MP we'd see a remarkable difference. We didn't.
We liked the camera, software is easy to install and use, and the zoom was nice, but too much money for the quality of pics. We are returning the camera and going to try the Sony Cypershot.

Great camera in a small package
We bought this camera from Amazon just before a trip to Europe. We didn't have much time to go over all of the features before leaving but managed to get some great photos. The zoom is excellent, picture quality is excellent and it is very easy to use. Battery life is also good. Have not used the video feature yet so can not comment on that. I bought an 8GB card to go with it which allowed for some 2,000+ pictures to be stored at high resolution. I highly recommend this camera if you are lookig for a compact design with loads of features and great optical zoom. Also pleasantly surprised to find it was made in Japan not China.

Great Picture and Video Quality!!!
This camera is great. I just got it in the mail a few days ago, and it works wonders!
I immediately started shooting some pictures, and the picture quality is unreal. Real HD (well...pretty much!). There are a lot of different features, and once you know how to use them (I am still learning by the way), you will be amazed and consider yourself a professional photographer! You can crop, change colors etc all in the camera. I love it! The only "bad" thing (which really isn't that bad), is that I basically bought this camera to replace my old PowerShot, and thought that I could use the battery from the old one as an additional battery for the PowerShot SX200 IS. But, the battery from SX 200 IS is shorter and wider, so I can't really use the old Canon PowerShot battery. But that's ok though! The life of the battery is great!
The picture colors are ridiculous, really! They are so vivid. It looks like I am litterally holding what I shot. The zoom, no comments! It's FANTASTIC! You can take picture from so far away! It's awesome...I am very impressed and proud of this purchase! I agree with the "negative" reviews: its not for point and shoot users. But it can be. Just change the setting to "Easy" mode OR the "Manual" mode and you're good to go!
It's a little bigger than your regular digital cameras out there, but nothing crazy. It fits better in larger hands anyway...

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 |
