"A solid megazoom with great images." on by tomserwin
Pros: A great optical zoom, manual controls, pop-up flash, great images, and a fairly compact size given it's large lense. It has fun and practical features.
Cons: May be too bulky for some users and some may not like the pop-up flash.
Summary: While very compact for a 12x optical zoom, it is still larger than other point-and-shoots on the market, especially when compared to something like the Canon Powershot SD780 IS. However, it is relatively compact for what this camera does. it performs very well for a point-and-shoot and will out perform the smaller Canons. Personally, I prefer it over it's Panasonic competitor. Overall, it's a great camera.

"Error message and the lens wouldn't retract" on by lars364
Pros: The camera took really great pictures, especially outside. I took a few at my daughters pre-school graduation that weren't so good. It was inside and from a distance, the pictures were very dark and fuzzy.
Cons: Error Message. Within a week of using this camea, I got a lens error message and the lens would not retract. I was finally able to get the lens to retract by pushing (forcing) it to close.
Summary: From my research about this fatal error message (Lens Error:Restart Camera), once you get that, your camera is on it's last legs. It's very expensive to fix and Canon won't replace the camera. Do your own research about the probelm before buying.

"Shutter Lag???" on by kingtrac
Pros: I really went for this camera once I noticed the zoom length combined with the small size of the camera. This camera should allow me to take a carry light on an airplane for a trip to my home town while allowing me to take scenics and family pix.
Cons: SHUTTER LAG!!! Has anyone else had prolems with a very long shutter lag? By the time the camera actually takes the image the child has been gone for ten minutes.
Summary: If I can get the shutter lage problem worked out I will be VERY happy with this camera. I have always been Happy with Canon Cameras (Since 1981).

"Great pics for the family" on by 808dad
Pros: beautiful pictures, great zoom, plenty of features
Cons: can be a little slippery
Summary: Overall, this camera is a little on the high end for those families that want a great camera to capture all of their family shots. However if you dont mind paying alittle more, it's worth it when you see the picture quality. My wife and I love this camera!
