Great little camera!

 

This is a great, compact camera that I can fit into my purse without a separate carrier. It is great for taking pictures in low light for my [@] sales because a flash is not an option when the object has a high gloss finish.

Great compact easy to shoot camera

 

I have 2 children and I take photos all the time. I had a Cannon Powershot 5 years ago and loved it. It lasted forever. I wish the new Powershot took AA batteries but then it also wouldn't be as slim if it did. This thing is so slim it fits in your...

Great camera

 

I use this camera for the photographing of projects and friends. I also like to use it when going on photo safaris and the image quality is remarkable. Low-light settings are only a little grainy and the image stabilization works quite well.
