Good camera for price. Easy to use mostly.

 

This is a great little camera. Everything I wanted except no lights when in movie mode, so picture is no good in dark. If taking pictures in dark, get good flash and good pictures. Also can not expand pictures by touch on screen.About me... casual user

Nice pictures, ease of use and long battery life

No light when using in movie mode, so movie is no good when dark

Same model from 3 years ago takes better pictures

 

This camera was a complete disappointment. My wife and I bought this for a cruise we just went on thinking it would be better than the model we have from three years ago. All we have from our cruise is horrible pictures that are pixelated, blurry, and...

Nothing at all pictures are not focused and are pixelated

Great point and shoot

 

The zoom while videoing feature is poor, as seems to be the problem with all Canon's I've ever used. I also have a Canon PowerShot SD780IS Elph, and it does the same thing. But, these are entry level cameras so just be aware that you better zoom before...

Small with plenty of basic features and good quality shots

Video zoom is terrible. Quickly looses focus and won't regain

Great little camera

 

I bought this camera for a granddaughter who is becoming a quite good photographer. She uses her dad's camera most of the time and I thought it was time she had her own. This one is small enough she can keep it in her purse or pocket and always have it...

Long delay after taking a photo before it can take another

Great camera for the price.

 

My previous camera was a Cannon Power Shot. I had it for 5 years and it never gave me any problems, but I dropped it and it broke so I had to replace it. I liked my old camera so much that I decided to buy the same kind of camera again. It's a good...
