very happy with this camera. Indoor flash shots are nothing special but all outdoors pictures have been great. Very pleased with the zoom capabilities.

I was throroughly impressed with the quality pictures this camera took. I went on a vacation and was wanting a compact camera with considerable optical zoom. This camera was exactly that. Plus, it takes good indoor shots as well.
As with every Canon, it also takes excellent video. I took several videos and was also very pleased with how they turned out. A couple of notes about this product before you buy it though:
(1) The flash does not come up automatically. This may not seem like much, but sometimes when you're inside on AUTO and the flash doesn't go off because you forgot to flip it up, it is slighly frustrating.
(2) It takes only 2 AA batteries. This is good and bad. Some previous camera with similar size and feature that I have had took 4 AA batteries and lasted longer. This one takes only two and the battery life really just isn't that great. And not having a viewfinder option to allow you to switch off the screen is unfortunate also.
(3) It has some excellent electronic features too. Being able to remove red eye in a photo in the camera right after taking it was great. I was amazed at how well it worked.
In summary, this camera takes great pictures, but the batteries die fast so make sure you keep a couple of extra ones close by.

The price was very convenient and a think Amazon is a very serious enterprise. The products were shipped on schedule and they arrived to my place via Fedex. Also I catched an special offer, I had free shippig service.
I trusted in the confidentiality with my credit card also.
I'd be so happy of buy some others articles via Amazon.com

THIS CAMERA IS THE WORST. I BOUGHT IT NEW AT BEST BUY, TOOK IT ON VACATION 1 WEEK LATER, AND I GOT A LENS ERROR RESTART CAMERA SIGN- MISSED ALL MY VACATION PICS, BEST BUY WOULDNT TAKE IT BACK, SO CALLED CANON, WENT THRU TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, PAID $50 TO FED EX IT TO THEM TO FIX, THEY SENT IT BACK "FIXED" AND WHEN I TRIED IT, HAD THE SAME ERROR. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA OR ANY OTHER CANON PRODUCT- THEY ARE TERRIBLE.
SINCE THEN I BOUGHT A SONY CYBERSHOT AND AM THRILLED WITH IT. CANON CUSTOMER CERVICE IS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE SO I AM OUT ABOUT $ 300 WITH A BROKEN - NEW- CAMERA.

this is a great camera! The high point of this camera is how good it is in photographing indoors and in low light, even outside in near darkness. The battery lasts a long time, the handling of it is easy, has a stabilizer and optional flash to use and many multi-functions to choose from. I have not learned all there is about it, but so far, I can say for the money this is a great semi-pro camera! I took a photo of my husband walking on the treadmill in the evening, indoors, low light and it was crystal clear and you could see the sweat on his skin, also the television was captured perfectly. Also, I love the exactness of the color. I have another camera that does not capture the same color, this one is great with capturing the exact color and look. Enjoy! Its painless to operate.
