This makes my third Canon camera product and each time I have upgraded just a bit. Do lots of photography for church and family, plus three non-profits of which I am a member. Also, I have a Canon all-in-one printer and have been very satisfied with it.

I loved this camera! I caught the camera on sale, so it came with a case and memory card.I purchased this camera to take pictures and record videos at a concert. I was about 5 or 6 sections away from the stage at the BB&T center. he camera did great in the low light and the zoom is INCREDIBLE. I was was able to zoom in to get CLEAR closeup shots both while recording and taking still shots. My older sister was upset because her Nikon wasn't able to get as close as my Canon Power shot lol.
Only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it does not come with the cord to connect the camera to a computer( I foudn it on Amazon for a low cost). As with any camera you can't shake too much because it will be hard for the camera to focus on the subject. Also, the Wi-Fi feature does not work to transfer recordings if a video is longer than 2 minutes. Doing a lot of video recording drains the battery. After about an hour and a half of recording I had to change the camera batteries. But, no camera is perfect there will always be a drawback in some area.

I love the feel of this camera in my hand, it's small but powerful. Takes great pictures. Zoom is great. I recommend if you are thinking of getting a camera that uses wifi to move pictures. Great feature.

We like how compact the Canon Power Shot is, making it very portable. We like the different functions and the fact that there is Wi-Fi capability for transferring photos from the camera to another device. And we are impressed by the capability of using a smart phone as a remote control to the camera. But trying to transfer the pics wirelessly was taking too long and we were concerned an awful lot of wireless data was being used. Of course, we can still transfer any and all pics by using the memory card with a laptop or desktop computer.

Bought this camera for a trip to Hawaii. Debated between this and a DSLR. Price, size and simplicity won, and the pictures turned out great!

I needed a light weight compact camera for an extended vacation. Since we were traveling sans car, size and especially weight were very important. But I didn't want to skip on features. The Canon SX-600 fit the bill perfectly. Two small concerns: The printed manual mostly referred to the on line one which I downloaded, but without continuous computer access, this presented occasional problems. And, there was no way that I could find to determine how much battery life was remaining at any given moment. Other than that, a great little device, well worth the cost.

I like this little camera. I use it to make YouTube videos until I can get a better one. You can look me up I'm Chellebaldy on YouTube. The picture and video quality is good to me for a point and shoot camera. It does kinda make you look like you look photoshopped sometimes. I don't know what that's about.

Bought this camera to replace my grandma's 35mm film camera. Needed to be what she calls a PHD camera (push here dummy). This camera takes good pictures & is pretty simple to use also. Its a good value for a simple easy to use camera.

I purchased this camera for my wife, to replace her old one, it took me a few minutes to explained the new controls, after a couple of dozen shots she was taking great pictures, the zoom on this Cannon is great for a small camera, and the quality of the pictures are as good as some of the larger SLRs. My only complaint is the flash, it range and that it has to be manually extended when is needed, but is a matter of getting used to it. Over all this a great camera for the price, hope she can get the same usage as the Olympus it replaces.

I had an earlier version of this camera, so the learning curve has been minimal. So many options have been added to the basic same camera....the zoom alone has gone fro 3 to 18! Wow! Yes, this is a point and click camera, but it has so many other options built in that you feel like a professional photographer :-)

Lightweight, can fit in a pocket, excellent zoom, wonderful travel camera.
Took it on a trip to Costa Rica. Easy to carry everywhere, took great pictures. Good battery life. I'm very happy with this camera. My only critique thus far is that it did not come with a cable to connect with my computer. I I haven't learned how to use the WiFi connection yet, and had to buy a memory card reader. That worked fine, and overall I love this camera.

I received this as a Christmas gift from my husband. I have always had big bulky cameras in the past. This camera is small and works great. It is a good value for the amount that we paid for it. Can't wait to use it more and more!

This is now used by us for all pictures. The WiFi has been faithfully attaching to our in home server without problems. The main use is with eBay but really does have all the necessary features for a fine camera. Now the only other cameras we use apart from this one is in our Samsung S5 phones which don't have the optics available to them!

Nice camera you can keep in your purse or pocket. Long life battery. Wireless transmittal by way of Bluetooth. Works great with iPad or iPhone. Note, it does not have the ability to plug directly into a PC to download pictures. That is the my disappointment.

The company I work for does repairs for the Oil/gas , Utility companies.
Our employees use them to photograph the parts that we repair. camera isn't bulky easy to use, Cameras are cost affected because in our busy the cameras can be dropped. We are looking at the new rough & tuff camera that are coming out for the future.

As a long time Canon Rebel user, I wanted a more compact camera for my Disney vacation. It worked pretty well especially outdoors. Autofocus can be a bit slow and low light performance is not as good as I would like, but overall, I was satisfied.

I bought this as a gift for someone who does not do well with technology and she thinks it is perfectly easy to use and it is now attached to her.
