"HUGE amount of bang for your buck."
Pros: 4x optical zoom, manual features galore, tiny
Cons: Flash could be stronger
Summary: I don't think Will Greenwald paid much attention when he was reviewing this camera. It is CHOCK FULL of manual features including manual focus, manual shutter speed and aperture, and white balance setting. This is a GREAT small camera that functio... read more >>

"An excellent upgrade from older PowerShot Cameras"
Pros: Easy to use, Lots of settings
Cons: Print Quality, Small LCD
Summary: I previously used a Canon PowerShot A520, 5 MP. I was happy with it until it decided to take a leap from the table and break. I love the PowerShot's feel and look, so I was lucky to find a newer upgrade to the line.

"Price vs. Performance Leader"
Pros: Sharp 7.1 MP 4x Optics, Manual Options, Size & 9pt Focusing
Cons: No image stablizer, but for the price, that's OK.
Summary: I agree w/starkruzr review, to access the Manual Mode, just rotate the Top Dial counter-clockwise from AUTO to "M". You can change: 1) Exposure +/- 2 (F-Stops); 2) White Balance (Auto, Day light, Cloudy, Tungston, etc.); 3) Colors (Off, Vivid, Neutr... read more >>
