Rating: - Perfect pocket camera
This camera does all that it advertises. The only problem I have experienced is a delay for the flash to charge. I did not expect this with a lithium ion battery. The delay can be about 5 seconds so it is not that bad and it only occurs on rare occasions, such as when the battery is running low. The extra zoom is great. The LCD shows noise when panning but it is crystal clear when the picture is taken and when reviewing the pictures. The scene mode navigation is a little cumbersome with the ... Read More
Rating: - Wow. Do take heed. ON/OFF button issue - not just for nitpickers.
I just received the camera, but after having inspected it once, it was enough for me to put it back in the original box for a return.

Rating: - It's the on off button
While I have read of some people's problems with the unusual shape of the on-off button, that wasn't my problem. After 2 or three shots and struggling to get the button to work, it just didn't. The images I were able with the camera were amazingly good - good color balance and detail. But the flimsy on off-switch?
Amazon was great and accepted the return no questions asked. Even paid for the postage. Maybe I just got a dud, but I didn't want to make the same mistake again ... Read More
Rating: - Great Picture Quality
The picture quality of this camera is very good both indoor and outdoor. I agree with a few of the reviews that the on/off button is a little difficult and I would prefer a 3 inch LCD screen with no view finder, but with all that said the most important aspect of a camera for me is picture quality and this camera does not dissapoint. I took approximately 150 pictures between Christmas Eve and Christmas day and only about 5 of the pictures were blurry or out of focus.

This is an excellent camera choice. It's easy to understand and takes great pictures. Canon products are the best when it comes to photography.
