    Bought this camera for our vacation, Pigion Forge, TN. Very easy to use, basically turn on and click away. The zoom is incredible, best I have ever had in a camera for this price so far. Takes great pics, easy view feature. I loaded it with a 32 gig memory card, so no chance of running out of memory like some cameras I had in the past. J could take hundreds of picks and not have to decide which memories I had to delete on the fly to take a new shot. I know there are a lot of better cameras out there for those who are more experienced photographers, but for the price and features, this camera is great if you are just trying to capture memories like I was.

    I wanted a camera for my photography hobby. I am a beginner so it’s just a fun hobby for me. I decided to get this camera but I did not like it and returned it. The picture quality I found to be not so clear and it didn’t look so good. It was missing detail and it looked a little fuzzy. This is automatic so you can’t manually change settings. Instead I got the Nikon b500 and I like the picture quality way better, it’s clear, not fuzzy, sharp and detailed. However, this camera is not bad but it didn’t meet my standards. If you overlook those and think you can fix the quality then I recommend you do get it.

    My Canon Power Shot is one of if not the best camera I've owned. It does every thing a big/regular camera does and is very compact. I'm really happy it was introduced to me as I am a very happy camper...

    Nice camera but its kind of big, not easliy transported in a pocket, get the elph if you want something small and powerful. Flash doesn't pop-up on it's own you have to flip it up manually which is weird.

    Well, is shiny, and red, and pretty, and it bears the Canon name, but the picture quality just isn't there. I also find the battery difficult to remove for charging (in-camera charging is not an option). Lastly, my next digital camera will have a viewfinder (this one just has the LCD display).

    I love this camera. I was concerned about going back to a larger size because I've had a smaller one for the past few years. It was worth the trade to get such excellent pictures and the zoom is amazing! Thanks
