Bought this camera for my fiancé for her birthday. She absolutely loves it. This camera takes great pictures and just overall well made. This is coming from an average joe, not a professional photographer, so if your not a Picky Pete, I recommend this camera!

I read a lot of reviews before making my purchase. I just wanted a good point and shoot camera that also could do video and action shots. I do not know a lot about cameras, so when the reviews said this was a good camera for beginners...I took a chance. I just need basic things...point, focus and take picture. I was a bit disappointed that this camera did not have a specific setting for action shots. (My previous Kodak did and it is about 8 yrs old.) The action shots did come out ok though. My only negative thing about this is the battery dies very quick, My Kodak used 4-AA batteries and I could go all day taking pictures and video. I did not take any video with this camera and the battery died after a few hours.

If you don't want to invest a ton in a good camera, this is perfect for you. I was looking for something that took good quality photos, wasn't difficult to figure out (aka did the job for me), and that was a decent price. I'm a beginner and I feel like I understand most of the features of this camera. I still haven't figured out if there is a way to take good pictures while someone is moving (they always look blurry, but I think I need to read up on this a bit more). My favorite feature is that you can send your camera pics to your phone very easily! Overall, I'm very happy I got this camera.

Took it to Rocky Mountain National Park and I was able to zoom in on a herd of elk that were at least 300 meters away and actually get a picture of one with her tag and able to read her tag number. Haven't used all the features yet, but hockey season is coming so there will be more use of it.

This camera is a super starter, with excellent imaging, clear pictures, built-in wi fi for getting your photos onto your devices to share them, a big 50X optical zoom for getting great zoomed in shots, yet it's a very compact and easy to handle camera, and the really low price makes it a really good buy.

I love this camera so far and you get a lot of bang for your buck. It has a much higher zooming capability than similar cameras that cost more, and I was able to sync it up quickly with a wireless connection to my Samsung Galaxy 3. Lots of things I still need to learn to use on this phone but you get a lot of features for a great price.

I know cell phones are the "go-to" device these days but some of us are still a little old-fashioned and like to use digital cameras. This Canon is easy to understand and use and does not require one to be a professional photographer. As advertised, it takes great photos in low light situations and the 16.0 mp give you a professional quality photo each time. I admit, I am a little biased as I own 3 other Canon cameras (including 2 point and shoots) but this device is a priced well and delivers a good bang for the buck.

We wanted a nicer camera with no delays and a good zoom that was not too fancy or complicated and that is just what we got. We have only used some of the basic functions, but love it so far. We were also able to get a case that is not huge.

I love this camera and though I brought it for my husband as a gift I'm sure I will make good use of it .I love that this camera has wifi because it makes transfering pictures so much easier, the size of the camera is great, not to bulky or awkward. The quality of the pictures are awesome and the price of the cameras was a great price. If I had to buy another camera or suggest a inexpensive camera with great quality I would suggest this one.

Now let me tell you about this awesome camera! From the time I pulled it out of the box I could tell that it was build extremely well. The 42x Optical Zoom (24-1008mm) and 24mm Wide-Angle lens is incredible. For that same capability in a SLR you would pay a ton. I really became impressed one I started taking photos. Because of the size and versatility I find myself in more situations to take incredible shots, therefore this camera is quickly becoming my camera of choice when I go out. And for those that don’t understand the Zoom Framing Assist technology, this is a great feature. The frame assist really does make it easy to track your subject while using the extreme telephoto.
