"Excellent overall camera. Great performance!" on by gary0107
Pros: Great pictures, impressive movies, superior navigation
Cons: The auto mode needs help in low light shooting
Summary: I have owned Canon cameras for the last several years. My last was the SD700 which was a very good camera. However, it broke and I had to replace it with another camera from Best Buy.
I wanted to upgrade from 6 MP to at least 8 and possibly 10 MP. The highest MP rated Canon Best Buy could get was the SD 800. Since they were able to get the Samsung NV 11 (10 MP) and offered an option of no restocking fee I decided to give it a try.
I absolutely love the navigation feature! It makes it easy to access the features without needing a user guide. The pictures are excellent quality.
The movies really are impressive. Even at full screen they look very sharp. When shooting video on my Canon SD700 the full screen view was very, very grainy.
Best Buy had this camera on sale for $300. It's a great camera and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy to use, point and shoot camera and want great pictures and movies.
By the way, it's small enough to fit in the small camera case I used to use for my Canon SD700.
